A new departure, after 10 years of Eat This Podcast, a Xmas quiz. With prizes.

New edition of Eat This Newsletter is out, with a few choice items and a reminder that the next podcast episode will go live on 24 December, for reasons. Read the newsletter at https://buttondown.email/jeremycherfas/archive/exchanges/ and, if you're so inclined sign up too. Thanks./

Thanks Google. Three of the top 10 search terms that brought people to my podcast site involved wheat pennies. Alas, none wanted to hear about wheat and the growth of empires. https://www.eatthispodcast.com/empire-grain/

A very warm welcome to the [redacted] new podcast subscribers who joined via Google Podcasts this past month. https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZWF0dGhpc3BvZGNhc3QuY29tL2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC8

You know where to find me.

Case in point: the Deep in the Weeds podcast network at https://deepintheweeds.com.au/ @deepintheweeds with some excellent shows and episodes that could easily interest a wider audience.

There is, in my mind at least, some confusion between discoverability and promotion. That is, I want people to be able to find my podcast, which means I both need to promote it where the ears are and, if possible, make sure the ears can find it.

Of course I am going to resurrect my podcast episode about Celebrating Passover and Easter. Maybe a bit late for tonight's seder, but plenty of time for a little didactic baking next week.

Fine episode of Gravy from @southfoodways, all about horchata. A little disappointed that @rachellaudan didn't bring English barley water into the story. Or if she did, that they cut it.

I rant often about podcast web pages that hide their audio behind layers of obfuscation. It makes trialling an episode in huffduffer.com impossible. But ones I subscribe to, like @5x15stories, that can't even supply a decent feed are beyond my understanding.

Pleased, in a nerdy way, that tomorrow's podcast episode, in which I chat with a chef and teacher in Aoteora, will go out on a day when we all will have almost the same times for sunrise and sunset.
