S2E29: How and When Did Coffee Houses Turn into Public Squares? - a podcast by Ep.Log Media

Coffee houses arrived in England in the seventeenth century, probably from Turkey. By the eighteenth century, they evolved into an animated public square.
Men visiting coffee houses gradually took to discussing politics, commerce and diplomacy, and media and advertising too moved in soon enough.

Yet, the rise of the coffee house as a public place did not immediately lead to a corresponding rise in the popularity of coffee as a leisure drink.
HistoryChatter in this episode looks into these two distinct histories.
How did the coffee house emerge in England as a major site for free and wide-ranging discussions over matters of public interest?
How did the British take to drinking coffee?
