Yes, Chef: Scotch and Scottish Identity

Welcome to the first edition of the Yes, Chef Podcast, an extension of the Yes, Chef publication here on Medium.com, where we dive deeper into the collisions of food, drink, culture, and politics around the world.

Guest Noah Caldwell, a freelance journalist based in New York City, covered the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum for The Daily Beast, spending his weeks biking around the country to report, drink Scotch, and ditch a day trip to Islay for a date.

Sit back, relax, and maybe even open up a bottle of whiskey — we chose Bunnahabhain 12. The first Yes, Chef Podcast is here.
