Sericulture - a podcast by Brian Casey

Part three of our series on The Silk Road.

It was inevitable, really. Once you mention The Silk Road you practically have to talk about silk. So we will.

But, let’s get a few things straight first. Silk was being traded around long before The Silk Road was even a thing. And it wasn’t just the Chinese who were making silk cloth and garments. Really, the story of silk and the Silk Road wasn’t even about silk itself. Sure, people liked silk, but it was the method of production that was the big to-do on the Silk Road.
