  • The Bitter History of Chocolate

    The Bitter History of Chocolate
    Dec 4 2025
    What's better than holiday hot chocolate? If just thinking about it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, well – that’s by design. Chocolate's big history sweeps across the globe, and today we’re going on that journey: from the pre–Columbus Americas, to an early 20th century reporter’s hunch about what cocoa production really takes, to a 21st century medical student’s story about his childhood on a farm that produces those holiday treats.

    Guests:

    Carla Martin,     lecturer in African and African American Studies at Harvard University and President of the Board of the Institute for Cacao and Chocolate Research

    Catherine Higgs, professor of history at the University of British Columbia in Canada

    Shadrack Frimpong, founder of Cocoa360

    The Mother of Thanksgiving
    Nov 27 2025

    On today's show, a Thanksgiving story you might never have heard -- not about Pilgrims or Native people, but instead about a woman who, as civil war loomed, pushed for a shared national holiday she thought would keep the United States together. This episode originally ran in 2024.
