Everything we eat has a story to tell. What does our food say about who we are, where we come from, and about the way we live? How does it help us connect with neighbors and understand foreign cultures? Aside from being delicious, why do we care so much about food? We take a look into the world’s pantry and come back with incredible stories. In each episode, Mediterranean lifestyle expert Claudia Hanna travels the globe to offer savory (and sound-rich) stories of how much food means and has meant to all of us.2023 Art Cooking Food & Wine Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary World

Recently named one of the "best climate podcasts" by Earth.org, the Real Organic Podcast uncovers the forces reshaping organic food – and our dinner plates. Hosted by Linley Dixon and Dave Chapman, each episode features deep conversations with farmers, scientists, chefs, and journalists fighting to keep organic food honest. Like today’s special episode with filmmaker Deborah Koons Garcia. It’s been 20 years since the release of her influential documentary “The Future of Food,” and she reflects on how the food system has changed - and how it hasn’t. It’s a beautiful conversation where Deborah shares her thoughts about GMOs, corporate control, the rise of regenerative farming, and why she released “Symphony of the Soil,” a film celebrating the beauty and complexity of living earth.
