If you need ideas, I make narrative podcasts about the coffee world. I've got lots of great tape, lots of business/economics angles, and would love to share what I know.

[James Harper @JamesHarper523]

@planetmoney I've listened to each one of your 1000+ episodes and love the show. Which is why I'm telling you this: I switched off your latest episode after listening for three minutes. Please never do an episode like that again. Keep up the amazing work!

Which #coffee should we buy to help farmers survive #ClimateChange?

@thisclimatepod just released an excellent episode answering this question.

I offered perspectives from my recent documentary work in #ElSalvador. It’s a great listen and well produced.

I really enjoyed this podcast episode about how the dark aspects of the British empire and their impact on India.

I recommend listening from 34mins onwards.

I had much fun w/ @DalrympleWill in Adelaide on Sunday. We recorded this pod in the morn, covering historiography, his own journey(s), and the untold tale of how, in Tolstoy’s words, “A commercial company enslaved a nation comprising 200 millions.”

So true 🤣🤣🤣

A few weeks ago I gave a talk about the ways I’ve tried to make a living through my #podcast @FilterStories.

My friends at @BearRadioBerlin and @TheVenueBerlin recorded it and turned it into a podcast! #meta

Happy listening!

‘In the worst cases, [coffee] workers have been found in “conditions analogous to slavery”-even on certified farms’.

This will be a theme for some upcoming @FilterStories episodes, building off the Sofia story.

@stuartmccook A fantastic image!

[James Harper @JamesHarper523]

My favourite line: Rust (the coffee disease) is like pee in a swimming pool. Once it's in there, it's almost impossible to get out.

[Stuart McCook @stuartmccook]

Jesse Hartman and I discuss the coffee rust and the coffee crisis (and my new book) in this week's episode of THE COFFEE PODCAST. If you are interested in coffee, I encourage you to subscribe to the podcast. The current series addresses the coffee crisis. #coffee #coffeeleafrust

[James Harper @JamesHarper523]

Captivating, insightful and surprisingly relevant.

Another extraordinary radio story by @RadioDiaries.

During the war in Vietnam, there was a notorious American prison on the outskirts of Saigon…a prison for American soldiers. #podcast @radiotopia https://t.co/6bLWSiRIDZ

@SaraJaneAhmed @andrea_illy But the one thing he didn’t discuss is today’s coffee price crisis. Hundreds of thousands of farmers are considering abandoning their farms as we speak.

[James Harper @JamesHarper523]

I’m disappointed in the quality of @bloomberg journalism after reading @joelwebershow’s interview with @andrea_illy.

We’re in the middle of a devastating #coffee price crisis and it wasn’t mentioned once.

[James Harper @JamesHarper523]

@coffeehistoryJM @TheCoffeePodcas ahhhh so if we grow Brazilian demand to the point where they consume all their own coffee, then that removes the downward push on global prices? Hmmm...but wouldn’t that incentivise yet more production from Brazilian farmers?

[James Harper @JamesHarper523]

Solutions to the #coffee price crisis?

@coffeehistoryJM on @TheCoffeePodcas suggests we should grow consumer demand in coffee producing countries and Asia and increase price transparency for consumers in the global north

But coffee supply is very elastic. I’m not convinced...

If there’s one podcast you listen to this week, make it this one by @Ellie_McDowall

Four women working in solidarity to overturn Ireland’s abortion ban. Radio-craft at its best.
