In this episode of Eat My Globe, our host, Simon Majumdar, talks to one of our regular guests, the Chester D. Tripp Professor of History at Yale University, Paul Freedman, about his terrific new book,"Why Food Matters."

Along the way, they talk about food in feast and famine, its roles in ethnicity and cultural appropriation,its impact on gender, andits relationship to taste and the human need for conviviality. Paul is always a great person to interview, and this is one of our favorites so far.
