“A very interesting and intelligent History-based show, connecting the dots of History, Coffee, Revolutions, Conquests, Human Suffering…, I don’t know what else, yet. Not for the coffee afficionato with a weak stomach, for the ghastly background of coffee’s history, and colonialism. I almost gave up drinking coffee, after hearing a couple of these; but not giving up the show itself. Addicional pluses: The language is clean; the show’s pace is a delightful conversation with pauses, and great original piano music. It is clearly well-researched. (So far, I’ve heard only 2 of the Episodes, so it’s possible not all episodes are, as described here). The minuses: It unflinchingly describes the horrible things humans are capable of inflicting on each other—especially those in the disadvantageous position. Much of it is inappropriate for young children to hear (except in a situation where discussion and explanations of the contexts within the descriptions, can and will be discussed). It would be a good extra teaching tool, for History, Sociology, Human studies in a classroom setting. Overall a very well-made, and produced, educational Podcast.”
