Please don’t stop
I always feel that learning history though the lens of some specific topic (rather than just the wars and politics and great men and whatnot) offers a unique perspective and a lot of insight. And I’m also very much a foodie. So the history of food is a good fit for me, but this is so much more than just the combination of my interests: it’s one of the best (maybe the best) history podcasts I know of — and I listen to a lot of history podcasts. I listen to the Anthrochef so carefully and slowly that I’m not even completely caught up yet, but I see that the most recent podcast is over a year old. I truly hope that this brilliant podcast keeps going (I believe the potential topics are more or less endless). In the meantime, I’ll keep listening to the whole thing, and when I’m caught up I’ll start over and listen again. It’s that good.
