Food – A Cultural Culinary History: Lecture Series by Ken Albala. From Audible and Apple Podcasts. Eating is an indispensable human activity.

Epicure Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin said it best: "Gastronomy governs the whole life of man." In fact, civilization itself began in the quest for food. Humanity's transition to agriculture was not only the greatest social revolution in history, but it directly produced the structures and institutions we call "civilization."

In 36 fascinating lectures, award-winning Professor Albala puts this extraordinary subject on the table, taking you on an enthralling journey into the human relationship to food. With this innovative course, you'll travel the world discovering fascinating food lore and culture of all regions and eras - as an eye-opening lesson in history as well as a unique window on what we eat today.

Gravy: Hosted by John T. Edge From the Southern Foodways Alliance. Southern food history and culture is rich.

In this smartly produced series from the Southern Foodways Alliance, the culinary landscape of the American South is explored through stories that go beyond the obvious and expected.

He has a knack for breaking things down in a practical, easy-to-understand home cook kind of way, and they’re the kind of basic, building block recipes you’ll reference time and again.

MeatEater. Hosted by Steve Rinella. From MeatEater, Inc. MeatEater can be a bit off-putting on the surface. If you give it a chance, we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Host Steve Rinella and guests talk about hunting and fishing through the lens of sustainability, anti- factory farming, health, public land preservation, and using-the-whole-buffalo tactics. The show is about conservation, connecting with nature, and finding our place in the natural order while cooking amazing, wild sustainable food. With around 120 episodes sitting on iTunes for free, there are a lot of options to choose from. We recommend hitting episode 57 first.

Proof: Hosted by Bridget Lancaster. From America’s Test Kitchen. We tell the weird and surprising and funny backstories around food and drink. The tales we haven’t all heard yet, the ones that have been lost, the under-told. This is not a recipe show. And this is not a show about celebrity chefs or what they like to eat. Proof goes beyond recipes and cooking to investigate the foods we love (tiki drinks) and don't love (the grain bowl); ask the big questions (where do food cravings come from?); and uncover the hidden backstories that feed your food- obsessed brain.

(The) Racist Sandwich. Hosted by Soleil Ho and Zahir Janmohamed. Soleil Ho and Zahir Janmohamed host one of the most fascinating takes on food culture being recorded today.

All of this is filtered through a bit of humor and the hosts’ experiences in and around pro kitchens and the world of food writing. The Racist Sandwich currently has 50 episodes in the bank. It’s a fantastic place to jump in is episode 39: Namaste Motherfucker. It’s a look at how the word “curry” is both diminutive and limiting of an entire set of varying cuisines.
