Renowned food writer and restaurant critic, Tom Parker Bowles and award-winning author, Henry Jeffreys are co-hosting a brand-new podcast, Intoxicating History.
From TellTale Industries and TWS Creative, the podcast, in partnership with Acast and sponsored by Taylor’s Port, explores the sometimes amusing, often dramatic but always intoxicating stories behind the drinks that we know and love today.
Hear about the rise and fall of empires, the birth of the industrial revolution, and history’s great men and women who were all shaped by an unlikely force: alcoholic drinks.
From ancient wines to Prohibition, royal tipples to revolutionary cocktails, Tom and Henry bring the past to life, one sip at a time.
As Henry reveals Charles Dickens’s beloved punch recipes and Tom divulges the contents of the royal family’s legendary drinks trolley, listeners will discover how alcohol has shaped civilizations, sparked wars, and sealed peace treaties.
Intoxicating History is available on all major podcast platforms from today, Thursday 5 December.
