- What is history?
I was so looking forward to this podcast. Pitched as the history of ceramics, I assumed there would be some order to the casts. Alas not. They are all over the place, skipping large periods and peoples who were/are active in the making of ceramics. A to Z or first to last would have been more appealing and instructive to me. Something in the vein of Edmund De Waal’s book on porcelain.
