Today’s guest is Dr. Maxime Lamoureux-St. Hilaire, an archaeology who studies the Classic Maya. His research focuses on the political institution of the Classic Maya royal court, and investigates this by excavating the regal palace of La Corona, in Guatemala, and reading a ton of literature. In this episode, we discuss his doctoral research on Classic Maya royal courts, what foods were eaten during this time period, and the events that these foods would have been consumed at. We also talk about contemporary Maya foods and what it’s like eating an an archaeological base camp.

Episode 1: Michael Duguay on Sobriety, Nutrition, and Wellness for Artists

My first guest on AnthroDish is the multi-talented Michael C. Duguay! When I asked him to provide a bio, all he gave me was "failed artist, phony chef" - which I'm sure you will also disagree with as soon as you check this interview out! 

He grew up in Peterborough, ON and has travelled and lived across Canada, picking up jobs in music, arts, and culture - truly a renaissance dude of the 21st century. In this episode he shares his early experiences with food, how food connects to music and other creative processes, how addiction and sobriety have influenced his food journey, and finding balance in recent years for both nutrition and wellbeing as an artist.

Michael is a brilliant storyteller and fascinating/honest dude, so I’m extra excited to share this first episode with you - check it out below, or on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!
