It's the best food podcast in existence. I'd recommend all of of the episodes, but this one is so cool because it talks about diasporic foodways. How do an Indonesian and Taiwanese couple think about their culture in the context of their lives and bakery in LA? How did curry get to Japan? If you like this episode, I'd also recommend "Earthenware Cooking: Japan | Greece" and "Indigenous Foodways: The Decolonized Diet." Emergence Magazine PodcastPickled Limes - Kalyanee Mam31 minutesThis podcast has authors reading their own articles from the magazine. The magazine explores the threads connecting ecology, culture, and spirituality, so they talk about food a lot. This article is a harrowing and inspiring story about the civil war in Cambodia and immigrating to the US. It includes a recipe in the print version and epitomizes to me how food can be used as a vehicle in a story.Milk Street RadioThe Sporkful Presents: Why Hibachi is Complicated30 minutes Wonton soup has been in America longer than the hot dog!!! I learned this fact on this episode and I have repeated it to everyone that will listen. This podcast is a generally great resource for interviews with important people in food and to get cooking tips. Monocle 24: The Menu Eating Fish, Nose to Tail30 minutes The host on this podcast has an UNBELIEVABLY smooth voice. Insane. Listen just for the voice. The episode is a great interview with the author of "The Fish Butchery Cookbook," and ends with an overview of climate changes' impact on wine regions. They also have a Food Neighbourhoods series where they explore different food neighborhoods (Brits!) from around the world in 5-10 minutes miniepisodes. I'd recommend starting with "Food Neighbourhoods: best of 2019" which includes two of my favorites: Bagdad and Turin. The Food Tech Show with Michael Wolf Talking Food Tech and Racial Injustice with Journey Foods' Riana Lynn58 minutes Nice recent episode about food, tech, and race. Very contemporary and relevant to today's food/tech industry.Thank you to the Beyond 6 Seconds podcast: The Beyond 6 Seconds podcast goes beyond our six-second first impressions to share the extraordinary stories of everyday people.
