I posted this over in the ancient yeast topic but that's only a relatively small part of this episode of Science Friday.   Francisco Migoya was the main guest and the segment may be of interest to our bread bakers so I'm copying my post here:

The second segment of today's Science Friday on NPR was about bread baking.  Both Francisco Migoya, co-author of Modernist Bread, and Seamus Blackley were guests.  I thought Francisco did a great job answering bread baking queries from the audience.  

He sounded a bit skeptical about the whole ancient yeast business.  He asked Seamus if they had identified the yeast strain(s) and he said they didn't know yet.  I rather wish he'd been given the opportunity to interrogate further.
