Podcasts of interest.

Not to worry, I haven't started podcasting. But I do listen to some on a regular basis and want to share the links here.

The first is very local, Diane Horn's "Sustainability Segment," broadcast early Saturday mornings on UW's second station, KEXP. Three of particular note are: George Monbiot, columnist and author, speaks with Diane Horn about his book, Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning. Bill McKibben speaks with Diane Horn about his book, Deep Economy: The Wealth of Communities and the Durable Future. And Larry Nussbaum, Program Director, Stewardship Partners, speaks with Diane Horn about the Salmon-Safe farm certification and eco-label program. Both Full Circle Farm and Skagit River Ranch are certified Salmon Safe. The feeds are available in these formats:



The other two podcasts of particular interest to students in the class are KCRW's Good Food
Here's how they describe themselves:
"Your weekly treat from Evan Kleiman. By tuning in to Good Food, you can discover great restaurants that you've never heard of, the politics of consumption, explorations of cultures through their food customs and some of the most interesting people who devote their lives to various elements of the food supply." It is available as an Rss Feed and from iTunes.

If KCRW is not edgy enough for you, then try CJLY's Deconstructing Dinner, hosted in Nelson, BC by kOOtNAY Coop Radio. It is the most radical, and one of the most informative, approaches, to food studies I have heard on the air and well worth listening to. You can find links here:
