Who invented Vegemite?

It’s an Australian icon, it’s an acquired taste, and it’s celebrating its 100th anniversary – we’re talking about that black spread of gooey goodness, Vegemite!

Jamie Callister is an author of the new book, Vegemite: The True Story of the Man Who Invented an Australian Icon.  He’s quite an expert on the subject because his Grandfather is Cyril Callister – the man who invented Vegemite!

Guest:  Jamie Callister

Presenter:   Warren Andrew
