When it comes to talking about food, we often to choose to look at what people are eating rather than how. And it's this distinction that today's guest, Amber Husain, explores more fully in her new book, Tell Me How You Eat: Food, Power and the Will... more
Sustainability is a word you hear a lot, but it tends to go uncritically examined in application. So what can it encompass when it comes to food experiences, particularly for immigrants and newcomers to Canada? My guest this week, Isabela Bonnevera, ... more
When it comes to thinking about the future of food, is it possible to re-imagine our individual and collective appetites around what we want it to be? Taste is subjective, sure, but it's also deeply embedded in the land, histories, politics, and soci... more

For anyone that grew up without a strong sense of connection to cooking or eating cultural foods, it can be daunting to get into the kitchen and make your own relationship with food. But for today's guest, Jamie Tracey, that lack of relationship was ... more
A little pretentious to me.
I’m so glad I discovered AnthroDish. Food is a passion of mine, and Sarah and her guests offer so much on the subject. The conversations are thoughtful, intelligent, and engaging. I’m happily surprised at how many fascinating topics and concepts connect to food. Thanks Sarah!
This is my favourite podcast because it inspires and challenges us to grow, not just in our understanding of the dynamics of food and culture, but also in terms of the role we do and can play. So often, even the best interviewers can frustrate listeners by not truly listening to their guests. Sarah’s questions always open up interesting avenues of discussion but she also listens for opportunities to switch gears into an even more interesting or thoughtful angle or to flesh out an answer that spa... more
Wide variety of topics and guests. Terrific podcast!
I have been listening to this podcast from the beginning, and every week I think "this is the best one yet!". Sarah continually outdoes herself and consistently interviews fascinating and educated guests. I can't compare this podcast to any other, because there isn't one like it.

Noteworthy elements include attention to food justice, labor in food systems, immigrant and diasporic foodways, and the role of media and policy in shaping food cultures. The show often features scholars, chefs, and writers who bring rigorous, interdisciplinary perspectives to topics like sustainability, accessibility, and the cultural politics of cuisine, making it a stro... more
