Ooooh, it's the weekend, and here's a funny little podcast to get you off to a chirpy start. It hails from an indie series called 'Happily Domesticated' by Short Cummings Audio and is made by a rather witty and talented 'husband, father, middle-manager, writer, podcaster...' Kevin Cummings. Each programme is a reading of a brand new humour essay written weekly by Kevin.

In this particular episode, Kevin reflects back on his cooking talents, or lack of, and reminisces about the cereal and macaroni days! A short witty anecdote, at around 10 minutes - go on have a listen!

#171: Can't Cook, Won't Cook

Has Cooking Made Us Human?

Today I've been listening to a rather fascinating talk from NPR's On Point program discussing if the act of cooking has made us human.

Primatologist and Anthropologist Richard Wrangham examines the role of cooking and argues that it is at the heart of human evolution. Wrangham's theory is both unique and intriguing, making for a good listen and his ability to answer the caller questions with clarity and on topic really help in understanding his point of view.

On Point is a series which covers a diverse range of topics and the host, Tom Ashbrook, is good at cohersing lively conversation around each episode's topic. As a two hour podcast, I think it would entertainingly and informatively fill the time whilst driving or travelling.
