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.

We’re all about creating community around food. If you are too, you need to know about Asempe Kitchen. It’s a restaurant in downtown Ithaca, NY serving more than excellent meals. 🍽️

As much a gathering place as an eatery, is built around curiosity, kindness and inclusion. The food is Ghanaian, a reflection of chef/owner Kuukua Yomekpe’s roots, and mostly plant-based, a modern twist on traditional fare.

She opened her restaurant after a series of successful pop-ups at the busy , and created a space for q***r, immigrant and other sidelined members of the community to meet and eat.

Inside, the vibe is warm and inviting. Exhibitions that highlight artists of color adorn the walls, and special events like open mic nights, cooking demonstrations, and a lively Afrobeats Brunch are all on the menu. If you’re feeling social, pull up a chair at the communal table and make a friend over dinner.

The Zen of Food and Friendship 🌟

Jimmy gathers once more in Gowanus, Brooklyn. This time with Author Peter Kaminsky and Chef/Restaurateur Alex Raij.

Our guests share with us their backgrounds and long-time friendships while dining on local tacos and discussing cooking, fly fishing, and more! 🌮

Alex Raij is a first generation Argentine-American who grew up in the Midwest, attended culinary school, and lived in Milan and the Pacific Northwest before falling in love with Basque chef Eder Montero. Together, they have opened five restaurants.

Alex distinguishes herself by creating dishes that capture a sense of place without giving up a sense of personal intimacy. What emerges are stories of connection and intersection across landscapes and timelines that are delicious, inimitable, and authentic on all levels.

Peter Kaminsky’s writing career began at National Lampoon where he was managing editor in the mid 1970’s. As a food author and journalist, he is a frequent contributor to Food and Wine magazine. He wrote Underground Gourmet for New York Magazine for 4 years and his culinary work has appeared in the Food section of the New York Times over the last 25 years. He has co-authored 20 cookbooks including 7 Fires with Francis Mallmann, The Elements of Taste with Gray Kunz, Ultimate Tailgating with John Madden and, due in 2026, On Goose Cove: Recipes From The Heart of Maine with Devin Finigan.
