Sunday March 17th Our guest this week is author, historian, and professor Ken Albala. Ken Albala is Professor of History at the University of the Pacific United States, received his Masters of Arts degree in history from Yale, and his PhD in history from Columbia University.  Ken has been the author or editor for over 25 books on both food and the intersections of food and history.  His course Food: A Cultural Culinary History is available from the Great Courses and the Great Courses Plus.  While Dr. Ken’s most recent books, At the Table: Food and Family Around the World  and Noodle Soup: Recipes, Techniques, Obsession are available everywhere, my personal favorites are all his books that do deep dives into history such as Beans: A History, Nuts: A Global History, and Pancake: A global history.

Minnesota Atheists is Minnesota's oldest and largest atheist organization. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit, educational organization that seeks to promote the positive contributions of atheism to society and to maintain separation of state and church. Our bylaws are available here. Each year we hold eight monthly members meetings with guest speakers (Jan.-May, Sept.-Nov.), three picnics (June-Aug.), and a Winter Solstice banquet (Dec.). We have a full calendar of events, such as dinners, movie nights, game nights, discussion groups, book clubs, a how to debate class and many others. To find out about these events, sign up for A.W.E. - Atheists Weekly E-mail. We produce a public access cable TV program, "Atheists Talk," and a weekly podcast of the same name. We offer speakers to the community free of charge. We specialize in presentations to high school and community college comparative religion classes.
