Episode 01 of my contribution to Dog Days of Podcasting is up. [The Abundance of Nature](https://www.eatthispodcast.com/our-daily-bread-01/)

I'm going to be exploring the history of wheat and bread every day in August.

Our Daily Bread 06 - Hulled wheats http://ow.ly/hjYO30lfIYw Farro is not spelt. It isn't einkorn or emmer either. Farro "is an Italian ethnobotanical concept".

Our Daily Bread 05 - At last: agriculture http://ow.ly/tA7x30lfEr1 Very quick or slightly slower, in just a few hundred years, domesticated wheat spreads all over the Fertile Crescent.

Our Daily Bread 04 - What exactly is wheat? http://ow.ly/XhGe30lfEid How, and when, did modern wheat arise from its the wild ancestors?

Continuing my daily podcast series, Our Daily Bread 03 - Crumbs; the oldest bread http://ow.ly/krTX30lfEc5 Bread, the archaeologists suggest, is not the product of a “civilized society” but perhaps a precursor to it.

Our Daily Bread 02; Boil in the Bag http://ow.ly/WIsU30leAFe When did we start to eat wheat? "There's no proof yet that the Neanderthal in Shanidar actually swallowed the porridge, but he definitely put it in his mouth."

My contribution to the Dog Days of Podcasting, every day in August. http://ow.ly/luL830leqsV Our Daily Bread 01; The Abundance of Nature Jack Harlan's experiments on the slopes of the Karacadağ mountains in Turkey offer a perfect gateway to this exploration of the history of bread and wheat.

Happy student bread bakers means I am happy.
