Show Notes
Coinneach MacLeod is better known as The Hebridean Baker. His simple living, Scottish accent, and photographs of Soctland’s rugged landscape have made him an international bestseller. And then there are his bakes. He joins The Culture Show to talk about his latest book “The Hebridean Baker: At Home: Flavors & Folklore from the Scottish Islands.”
From there Edgar B. Herwick III, Culture Show co-host and man behind The Curiosity Desk, discusses the origin of International Talk Like a Pirate Day and traces the real life linguistic influences that pirates have on how we talk today.
Finally, saxophone virtuoso James Carter joins The Culture Show ahead of his performances at Scullers Jazz Club on September 21st.
