“I have been binging on this for the last few months (I’m about 60 episodes in) and this is hands down one of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard. It does outstanding job of integrating not only history and food (of course) but science, economics, culture, social and family relations. While this...”Read full review »

“I love all the things I learn from each episode! My only critique - please STOP with the awkward pause in “Let’s…dig in” at the beginning. It makes no sense and is just annoying.”

“I just adore this podcast. Even though history is in the title, I didn’t expect a food podcast to have so many long, fascinating tendrils into the whole history of the world. But that was my naive failure to really consider that food is about the people who make it. And people and their sordid...”Read full review »

“I’m a docent at a local tavern museum, which is what sparked my interest in the history of food. It’s one of the most frequent types of questions we get. This podcast is equipping me with some great knowledge!”

“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.”

Margaret tackles so much in this podcast from briefs about science to contextualizing the history of these foods, ingredients and tools.

“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.”
