What makes a great non-fiction book? In this episode our hosts Hannah MacInnes and Sarah Gwonyoma are joined by Chris Haughton the author of The History of Information and Ben Newman, aka Spudman, the author of Spud Man’s Spudtacular Baked Potato Cookbook. Very different books but united by the passion and expertise of their authors.
The History of Information is a journey through the evolution of knowledge, communication, and information. With a mix of timelines, graphics, and illustrations, the book clearly breaks down each concept for children and adults alike. Talking of information, did you know we eat 375 million tons of potatoes a year? Spud Man’s debut cookbook celebrates everything to do with the humble potato. His Spudtacular Baked Potato Cookbook will have even a curious newbie baking up a storm.
