Heritage Radio Network Food Podcast Network
Shifting the way you think about food, one story at a time. We do this through creative educational reporting and storytelling.

Heritage Radio Network (HRN) is a nonprofit podcast network dedicated to creating a more equitable, sustainable, and delicious world by expanding the way eaters think about food. Founded in 2009 by Patrick Martins and inspired by the Slow Food Movement, since its inception HRN has been a platform for thought-provoking conversations about the real issues affecting America’s food supply. There are m

any stories that never reach mainstream food media and that’s where HRN is different: our listeners hear from all over the food chain--farmers, truckers, chefs, cheesemakers, cookbook authors, activists and more! HRN’s name reflects the use of the word Heritage referring to rare-breed animals and edible plants, it represents our commitment to preserving both biodiversity and diversity of perspective in the food world. By empowering listeners to take ownership of what’s on their plate and how it got there, HRN is working to fix a broken food system and archive the many voices that are shaping the culinary world for future generations. Roberta’s Pizza, a restaurant at the forefront of Brooklyn’s culinary renaissance, has been HRN’s home since the beginning. We broadcast 35+ shows each week from our studio, two recycled shipping containers, in their backyard. HRN’s programming covers sustainable agriculture, home cooking, the most innovative technology, and everything else to do with food. (Here’s the current lineup of shows.) You can listen on demand here on our website or find all of our programming for free on your favorite podcast app. Is there a topic you're ready to immerse yourself in? Browse HRN's 14,000 episode archive for a decade's-worth of listening. Nonprofit communities like HRN depend on all kinds of support to thrive. First and foremost, we’re grateful to our show hosts who generously contribute their time and wide-ranging expertise to our global audience of listeners, bringing them the most important conversations happening in the world of food. Our success is also rooted in the diverse community of restaurateurs, farmers, policy experts, and thoughtful eaters who share their dollars and ideas in support of HRN’s programming both on and off the air. We believe that one person can help change the world one bite (or sound bite) at a time. And we rely on listener support to help us continue the fight--and keep our content free.

✨Ice Cream Secrets: What Nobody Tells You About Shops & Homemade | Knead To Know Baking Podcast

Think you know ice cream? 🍦 Think again. This week on Knead to Know, Gemma and Ami spill all the ice cream secrets nobody ever tells you — from what really happens behind the scenes at your local scoop shop (hint: most don’t make it from scratch!) to the big mistakes that turn homemade ice cream into a tooth-breaking block.

They cover everything from custard vs no-churn, why vodka (or vanilla) might be the best ice cream trick ever, how to keep fruity ice creams from getting icy, and even George Washington’s shocking ice obsession.

It’s messy, funny, a little bit boozy — and full of tricks you’ll want all summer long.

🍨 Custard vs no-churn: which works best at home

🦷 How Ami literally broke a tooth on frozen ice cream

🥃 Why a splash of vodka or vanilla keeps ice cream soft

🍓 Using fruit in ice cream so it doesn’t freeze like a rock

✨Garrett McPerry of Tommy & Atticus

Garrett McPerry fell down the sourdough rabbit hole about eight years ago, started selling loaves at his local farmers market and, fueled by the public’s enthusiastic response, just kept drilling deeper until, two years ago, when he and his wife Lauren opened a brick and mortar bakery cafe called Tommy & Atticus, where the lines are often around the block, the sandwiches sell out by 1:30, and then the pizzas fly out of the oven and are gone by 3 PM.

To hear how they got that name, how he finally gave up his day job as an accountant and went all in, and everything else about their phenomenal success story, join me in this lively conversation with Garrett McPerry of Tommy & Atticus.

Their journey has been a wild and crazy ride and one that will inspire you all, here on this new episode of Pizza Quest. 🍕

✨In the First Place…

There’s so much more to Korean drinking culture than just soju and Haera Shin wants to tell everyone all about it. From the distinctive (and uniform!) green bottles, to the culture of “first place,” “second place” and “third place” to a fermented rice beverage that’s way older than sake, Haera’s enthusiasm is boundless and contagious. She sits down with the band to talk about her upcoming book on Korean drinks and cocktails, going from the bar to a marketing degree and back to the bar again, and a new concept in New Orleans she’s keeping relatively mysterious… for now.

Plus, are zoomers really drinking less than everyone else? Greg unpacks a new study which shows the kids may finally be catching up and catching on.

✨Leading with Purpose: Jason Haas on Scaling Tablas Creek Without Compromise – Business of Drinks

Tablas Creek Vineyard isn’t just a winery — it’s a masterclass in how to lead with values and still grow. In this episode, we sit down with proprietor Jason Haas, one of the most respected voices in American wine, to explore how his team has scaled a brand that stands for integrity, innovation, and environmental stewardship.

Co-founded in 1989 by the Haas and Perrin families (of Château de Beaucastel fame), Tablas Creek pioneered Rhône varieties in Paso Robles and today remains at the forefront of sustainable winemaking. It was the first winery in the world to receive Regenerative Organic Certification. It’s also a powerful case study in direct-to-consumer success: Tablas Creek produces 30,000–35,000 cases annually, with 80% of its revenue coming from DTC sales.

In this episode, Jason shares:

🔸How they built Tablas Creek’s category leadership from an unsung region and grape portfolio

🔸The marketing shift that led to a 20% increase in DTC sales in 2024

🔸Why white wines are now driving growth

🔸How a single blog post led to a boxed rosé launch that sold out in four hours

🔸What it takes to maintain team culture and creative freedom in a growing 50-person organization

🔸His advice to founders on staying true to your brand—even when market trends tempt you to stray

Jason also explains why the $25–$40 price tier is outperforming other segments, and how Tablas Creek doubled its export business with just five well-timed market visits.

If you’re a founder or operator looking to build a brand that endures — while staying nimble and connected to your customer — this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

✨Capri Cafaro highlights Chef Ji Hye Kim in the latest episode of Eat Your Heartland – here it is:

I had such a meaningful conversation with Chef Ji Hye Kim of Miss Kim in Ann Arbor, a four-time James Beard semifinalist in the Best Chef: Great Lakes category. Her dishes draw from her Korean heritage and Midwestern roots in powerful, flavorful ways.⁠

This special Eat Your Heartland Out episode revisits her story among other Beard-nominated voices. I’m honored that America the Bountiful also earned a 2025 James Beard nomination. It’s a testament to the layered food stories we’re bringing to life together.⁠

✨MASSeration Fest Celebrates Natty Wines and Ciders

Jimmy hosts Eliot Martin of Marzae Natural Winery, Matt Brogan of Berkshire Cider Project, and Katie O’Hara of Tilde Wine Bar & Cafe. The group chats about local Massachusetts agriculture, natural wine and cider production, and of course, the upcoming MASSeration festival.

🍷 Marzae is Massachusetts’ first and only natural winery, founded by husband and wife team Eliot Martin & Katie Luczai in 2023 with the vision to build community and bring the production of great, approachable wines and other local ferments to the Greater Boston Area. We produce wine with 100% local fruit in Acton, are working on an urban tasting room, run MA’s natural wine fair (MASSeration), and are planting a vineyard in Haverhill next spring.

🍎 Berkshire Cider Project crafts dry, sparkling hard cider inspired by the art and agriculture in our community. Their fine ciders start with fresh apples sourced from local orchards or foraged in backyards and forgotten apple trees all across the Berkshires. Made in North Adams, visit their tasting room just down the road from MassMoCA.

📍 Tilde aims to bring an approachable, social, and locally-focused edge to the coffee and wine scene in Cambridge. Every decision they make is an attempt to reflect the tastes and passions of the people who call the city home, and give everyone a space to meet, gather, and take a breath. Above all else, they value local products and relationships. They hope to cultivate a menu which reflects their focus on the neighborhood: sourcing from nearby wholesalers, encouraging staff ownership of rotating specials, and featuring local culinary artisans.
