Full Bio: James Beard's Later Years & Legacy - a podcast by WNYC

John Birdsall, author of The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard, joins us for the June installment of Full Bio about the life of chef, author, teacher, and television personality James Beard.


In Part 5, we wrap up the series by discussing the later years of Beard's life, including how he weathered the political changes after the Stonewall uprising in 1969, which happened just blocks from his home, and his legacy in American cuisine.
