CW: Lots of talk about colonialism, genocide, and war. Some mention of disordered eating.

This week, hosts Tom Zalatnai (@tomzalatnai) and Teffer Adjemian (@tefferbear) talk about H.E. Jacob's prolific tome, 6000 Years of Bread: Its Holy and Unholy History. We get into the interplay of religion, industrialization, and the military, and how all three connect deeply to bread. What lessons can we learn from the history of bread? Where do bagels come from? Why would someone wear Jesus's foreskin as a wedding ring? The answers may (or may not) surprise you…

Will they be able to resist?! Tune in to find out!
