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.

PLUS, this iconic New York City bar is on Resy now? Greg, Sother and Damon wrestle with their feelings about this latest chapter in the history of Attaboy.

Allergic, Intolerant or Diet – Dylan McDonnell

In addition to wanting to know where their food comes from and where it’s grown, thirty three million Americans have a diagnosed food allergy. Fifty million have an intolerance that is not technically allergic but certain foods disagree with them in some way. For a variety of reasons over seventy million follow lifestyle diets. That means over half of the country needs to know what is in their food.

Dylan McDonnell is the Founder and CEO of Foodini, a company that strives to make it easy for Restaurants to help consumers and consumers to help themselves. It will soon be the law in California as it is already in Europe for restaurants to make this critical information available to their customers.

SNAP 2.0: The Farm Bill Connection

Last week, we talked about SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and how it shows up in real people’s lives. This week, we zoom out to the bigger picture: the Farm Bill, the massive piece of legislation that shapes what gets grown, what’s conserved, and who can afford to eat. 🍽️

In this solo episode, host Dana DiPrima unpacks how and why SNAP ended up inside the Farm Bill, who’s fighting to separate them, and what’s really at stake for both farmers and families if that happens. From coalition politics to sugar subsidies, she traces the threads that tie our plates to our policies — and asks a powerful question:

If we disconnect farm policy from food policy, are we merely deepening the same disconnection that already plagues our food culture?

An American Winemaker’s 35-Year Journey Helping To Shape Japanese Wine Culture

Our guest is Bruce Gutlove, who is an American-born winemaker based in Hokkaido, Japan. 🇯🇵

The Japanese wine industry has been flourishing, particularly in the last two decades or so, thanks to the rapid increase in talented winemakers who are willing to conquer the challenges of the country’s unique terroir. 🍇

Bruce has greatly contributed to shaping the modern Japanese wine-making culture. Since 1989, he has worked in vineyards and wineries in Japan to bring out the potential of the Japanese climate and soil. Most notably, he led the COCO Farm & Winery in Tochigi Prefecture, which is owned and operated by people with intellectual disabilities, to become an award-winning wine producer.

Now, as the owner of 10R Winery in Hokkaido, he keeps fostering successful winemakers and helps solidify Japan’s unique wine industry.

In this episode, we will discuss: how Bruce got involved in wine consulting in Japan when the industry just about to start developing, the uniqueness of the wine-making environment in Japan, the exciting grape varieties that make Japanese wine stand out in the global market, Bruce’s personal observation of Japan and why he has spent over 35 years in the country and much, much more!!!

Removing Inconveniences Before Guests Notice: A Playbook for Hospitality with Jesus Mendez

You don’t scale a taquería with vibes—you scale it with standards. In this episode, Jesus “Chuy” Mendez (Salud, Birmingham) shows how culture plus simple, repeatable systems drive operational clarity you can taste at the table.💡

We get into writing real recipes (no “secret pinch”), rewarding the right behaviors, passing health inspections with confidence, and Chuy’s rule of hospitality: remove inconveniences before guests ever notice. This is kitchen leadership for independent restaurants that need consistent food, clean shops, and a crew that gives a damn.
