I highly recommend this podcast to everyone. The amount of research and analysis that goes into every episode is mind-boggling. The information is always presented in a coherent, well-organized, AND entertaining manner. It’s seriously impressive. I was afraid this would be a little too “foodie” for me, but I’ve not found that to be the case at all. Various aspects of food are obviously the main interest but every topic is presented from so many interesting and meaningful perspectives so that the information is very accessible. This particular episode had some tidbits on embalming, some myth-busting, some interesting facts about
how spices helped develop and impact economies … Mr. Majumdar’s interest in these topics is contagious and the meticulous attention to detail regarding how these topics are researched and presented is incredible. I almost feel guilty about the amount of work that must go into each episode! Thank you for such high quality work!

I have been a fan of Simon for as long as I can remember. He has a way with food that is hard to describe. Not only does he love food, but he loves it in a way that puts most food lovers and bloggers to shame. When I discovered that he had a podcast, I literally jumped for my phone and downloaded the latest episodes. I was seriously hooked within the first few minutes. His episodes are ridiculously thorough, extremely well thought out, and he presents the history of food in a way that is absolutely captivating. Simons voice is like a drug to me, and frankly I could listen to him talk all day long. With his podcast, I can do just that and learn some amazingly colorful history of food in the process. Do yourself a favor: Hit that subscribe button, download some episodes, and see why he is, in my opinion, one of the greatest authorities of food in the world. You won’t regret it.

While Simon may put on a tough exterior on Food Network, he is not only personable in the flesh but also conveys his kind persona via this podcast. This is my go-to relaxation podcast after a long day in the company of a fine spirit or wine. I put in my AirPods and proceed to let Simon’s wisdom flow…
If you enjoy history and/or cooking, I promise that you shall not be disappointed.
Thank you Simon for doing this podcast and I thoroughly appreciate and anticipate future episodes!
