Too much bias. Nothing wrong with owning land.

A very interesting and intelligent History-based show, connecting the dots of History, Coffee, Revolutions, Conquests, Human Suffering…, I don’t know what else, yet. Not for the coffee afficionato with a weak stomach, for the ghastly background of coffee’s history, and colonialism. I almost gave up drinking coffee, after hearing a couple of these; but not giving up the show itself. Addicional pluses: The language is clean; the show’s pace is a delightful conversation with pauses, and great original piano music. It is clearly well-researched. (So far, I’ve heard only 2 of the Episodes, so it’s possible not all episodes are, as described here). The minuses: It unflinchingly describes the horrible things humans are capable of inflicting on each other—especially those in the disadvantageous position. Much of it is inappropriate for young children to hear (except in a situation where discussion and explanations of the contexts within the descriptions, can and will be discussed). It would be a good extra teaching tool, for History, Sociology, Human studies in a classroom setting. Overall a very well-made, and produced, educational Podcast.

I’ve enjoyed listening to every episode and would welcome more in the future! Thanks for the great work!!

Thank you for describing the history of coffee. It is not a pretty story, but we should hear it. And you weaves in to this history the politics and economics. I hope you have many seasons!

Jonathan Morris walks James through coffee's history, a fascinating and important (and mostly unknown) aspect of world history. Both Jonathan and James have done a fantastic job with this series. What a learning experience! Thank you Jonathan and James

Relevant and entertaining. You don’t always get one with the other in the world of podcasts. Well done and easy listening. Enjoyed the 6-part History and am glad to hear there will be more. Thank you! I appreciate the attention you bring to sustainability, ecological and economic. Plus I find I am sipping more and gulping less ;)

I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to learn more from James and Jonathan about coffee. Incredibly detailed and very interesting! Thank you both :)

I will hear the hosts voices each time I have my daily cup of coffee. This is an amazing series that captures the global impact of coffee.

Looking forward to all the episodes

Enjoying every bit of this from the D.R. Congo

I’ve learned so much about coffee by listening to this podcast! It has changed my views about coffee in many different levels. I plan to open my coffee shop soon and this podcast is very informative and helpful. Can’t wait to grab my hands on the book!

Love this podcast! I worked in the coffee industry and this podcast actually helped me understand coffee in a different level. Can’t wait to share this with my fellow baristas.

This podcast is extremely well researched, well produced, trenchant, and engaging. Serious considerations of the hypocrisy we risk when we seek to decolonize. Very rewarding to listen to.

I got Jonathan Morris’ book last year and I loved it. When I read about this podcast I didn’t hesitate and started to listen it. It’s been so informative and easy to listen to. It’s an important podcast that all coffee drinkers and those that focus on development and history should listen to.

As someone who works in coffee production, I am so thankful that this podcast exists. It is a must listen for all coffee drinkers and will make you appreciate and understand coffee so much more.

It is thoroughly researched and devoid of fluff. I really enjoyed each episode and found the economics really interesting. It traces coffee's history from ancient times to the present all ovtthe world. Also liked the hype-free presentation and plan to read Morris's book which is supposed to be really interesting, too.

I am very pleased to have listen to this podcast. Thank you so very much for sharing!

I’ve been sucked in with no effort. Enjoying the conversations. Purchases the book without hesitation. Thank you for sharing all of this.
