Thanks to the good folks at the Radnor Memorial Public Library in suburban Philadelphia, we have a new podcast of my ever-changing talk about Fred Harvey and Appetite for America.

While it doesn’t quite have all the production values of the C-Span BookTV broadcast of one of my very first Fred lectures in Kansas City, in many ways I prefer this version. It’s a more intimate setting, it’s an Eastern audience so I had to do a better job explaining the Fred phenom to the uninitiated, and after giving several dozen lectures on this subject, I am hopefully a little better at it. But, you decide.

Thanks to Pam Sedor at Radnor Library for hosting and posting such a fun event.
