Hey everyone! We have a new set of projects that we wanted to share! Read ahead for a brief summary, or jump in now:

• The search for my kimchi - “I loved my grandmother's fresh kimchi. But as I aged, tasting the defining flavor of my childhood became elusive.”

• How companies make it difficult to subscribe - “I unsubscribed from 16 online services and documented the ways companies made it challenging.”

• (With Vox) How Russia’s invasion transformed one Ukrainian city - A year of bombs in the borderland

This issue is devoted to the gods of different arenas, including music industry overlords, TikTok idols, sneakerhead icons and the Aztec pantheon.

We’ll also introduce you to our latest team member and celebrate a recent win.

In this edition of The Pudding newsletter, we’ll introduce you to four new stories that shed light on some of the things we take for granted. Whether they’re things we’re overly familiar with (like faces on our banknotes or our day-to-day weather), or stuff we simply fail to question (like research methods and pathways to success), we believe that with a bit more data and context, you’ll start to see the world around you a little differently.

Speaking of seeing things differently, did we mention we’re now on TikTok (@the_pudding)? See what happens when contributor David Mora uses our population data story to better understand some of the major metropolises around the globe.
