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.

Isaias Hernandez is a young climate activist whose background, education and insights make him one of the most prominent eco-communicators of his generation.

A child of Mexican immigrants, he grew up in LA next door to polluting chemical companies, and went on to study Environmental Science at Berkeley. He soon realized that the language around environmentalism was so inaccessible he could hardly explain it to his mother, a teacher. To help bridge the gap between science and understanding, he launched on Instagram.

Listen to this episode of Progressive Hedonist to learn about Hernandez’s journey as well as his thoughts on climate grief, food systems and his most recent project, Symbiocene, an events company that brings together people with varying worldviews to discuss something they share in common—a love of the planet.

You probably know food as the OG of plant medicine... but what happens when you add a little 🍃jazz cabbage🍃 into the mix?

Shanel Lindsay, CEO of Ardent, calls c@nnabis the crown jewel of plant medicine, explaining how it doesn’t just enhance food — it taps into the body’s hidden healing system. 👑

Here’s how ⬇️

C@nnabis interacts with a natural system in our bodies called the endocannabinoid system, which, like our lymphatic system, is spread throughout the entire body body.

This system helps regulate and balance many functions, from cell growth to mood stability.

Cannabinoids, the compounds in c@nnabis (like T H C and C B D), can ‘fit’ into this system’s receptors when our natural endocannabinoids are lacking, helping to restore balance.

For example, in cases of PTSD, when neurons are firing when they shouldn’t be firing (and recalling traumatic memories), c@nnabis can reduce that overactive neuron activity.

Listen to the full episode of Jazz Cabbage to dive into more of the science behind how c@nnabis gets infused into food – and then into our bodies. 🌬️
