  • Excellent

    Coffee Histories is a brilliant podcast, using a conversational approach to knowledge on key subjects such as coffee and slavery, coffee Brazil/Vietnam, price wars, world market changes, Cuban Missile Crisis and instant coffee. If you are a coffee fan I recommend it.

  • Leftwing but stick with it for the history

    Once you filter out all the left wing, woke, anti-capitalist nonsense that the producers felt the need to include, there’s a fascinating history behind to be learnt about coffee. The book’s author, on which the podcast is based, is captivating. His cohost, however, is a nauseating Guardianista type.

  • The history of coffee: social responsibility

    I have enjoyed the second episode. I have learnt more about coffee and where it comes from. The speaker was very good and the anecdotes were very interesting and thought-provoking. The podcast will hopefully have a positive impact on our conscience and coffee consumption.
