Every Bite a Taste of History

Note: This interview originally aired March 18, 2014.

  Whether they grew it, killed it, foraged, or traded for it, the food people ate throughout the ages, and how they obtained it, helps tell us the story of who they were and how they lived. Northern Kentucky University Professor of History Dr. Jonathan Reynolds joins us to explain how food enriches our understanding of the world. Dr. Reynolds recently gave a presentation on examining history through food as part of the NKU Scripps Howard Center for Civic Engagement Six@Six Lecture Series.
