Show Notes
From the moment it landed on European shores in the early 16th century, the potato has been used as a political instrument. From the Age of Enlightenment to European empire and colonialism to the World Wars and beyond, the potato has arguably played every role between savior and enemy in its relatively short history on the global stage.
Listen as John and Patrick are joined by historian Rebecca Earle to discuss the politics of the potato.
