THE HISTORY OF FOOD

HOF Episode 27: A Day in the Life (of a Peasant Farmer)


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered if there’s more to history than dates and major events, what some of the stories and daily lives of regular people looked like? Do you need a reminder that history is populated with real people, who had lives just like we do?

Come take a sweeping journey back into the past as we explore the entire history of civilization, but on a more intimate level, examining as closely as we can the daily lives, challenges, and of course foods, of your average subsistence farmer living in any time and culture.

AVAILABLE ON ITUNES,   SPOTIFY, and GOOGLE PLAY.
