Excellent, Intelligent, Unflinching
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.

More reviews of A History of Coffee
Like all good history books or podcasts, it opens new doors onto a fascinating subject, while showing you many more doors you can come back and explore later.

I have 15 years in coffee research and I still learned a lot from this podcast. I am recommending it to everyone starting a career in the coffee industry.

I got Jonathan Morris’ book last year and I loved it. When I read about this podcast I didn’t hesitate and started to listen it. It’s been so informative and easy to listen to. It’s an important podcast that all coffee drinkers and those that focus on development and history should listen to.
