“History can focus a lot on policy, war, and industry. The star of this show are the people that helped the armies March, the cities thrive, and their stories that have been ignored for too long.”

“This show is fascinating! I find myself for the first time taking notes because there were too many interesting tidbits I wanted to share with family and friends. Like, did you know we have the early settlers to thank for dandelions? They brought them over as a food source. I can’t believe...”Read full review »

“This podcast is filled with the details of early America. It’s more than just food related. The author does an amazing job delivering information. As a homeschooling mother, this would be a great addition to any American history study for high schoolers.”

“This podcast is a great walk through American colonial history through the lens of food and the role that trade, religion and economics played in creating our current food landscape. And as a fellow chemistry nerd, I also enjoy her extra detail on the food science side of the story.”

“The host’s deep interest in primary sources, the organization by century and food item which also follows a logical pattern re: the expansion of American settlement and the adoption of new technology and/or growth of immigration and settlement, and the unflinching look at how sugar and the slave...”Read full review »

“I stumbled upon this by the time it reached episode 30 and was immediately hooked. Margaret tackles so much in this podcast from briefs about science to contextualizing the history of these foods, ingredients and tools. This has easily become one of my favorite podcasts and can’t wait for it to...”Read full review »

“Ugh. The snarky delivery and attempt at humor is the worst and detracts from the great research. She isn’t an entertaining actress and her speech impediment is annoying.”

“I love history, I love food, and I love gentle snark, so that makes this podcast well nigh perfect. Ms. Hardin happily nerds out on a cornucopia of deliciously obscure food history facts that most people never learned about in school. She also doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of...”Read full review »

“I listen to a plethora of history podcasts and this one stays high up on my list. The host is engaging yet comforting, knowledgeable yet easy to listen too. This is information that is easy to digest and give you that extra bit of trivia for your next dinner party. I will be a long time listener.”

“An interesting and different spy hole on early (so far) American history. A little world history, a little world chemistry (and/or alchemy) and how it applies to what people ate and why. Bite sized pieces organized by a topic and time.”
