The CFS podcast

From the editors of Canadian Food Studies, a podcast that serves up big ideas on food research, one mouthful at a time!

Digesting Food Studies is a podcast that helps break down research on food systems into manageable portions. It’s for folks who are learning and teaching about food studies, for those working in fields and factories, and also for people in policy and politics, making the rules that govern and guide us. From food justice to sustainability to intercultural identity, from the technologies of agriculture to the relationships embedded in Indigenous foodways, each episode helps digest one big idea. As a tool for teaching, a guide for new researchers, or inspiration for practitioners and activists, Digesting Food Studies bridges the gap between academese and everyday eating.

Each episode features a conversation with a CFS author (focused on their article), sandwiched between our "Amuse Bouche" segment (featuring a related food-culture artifact) and "The After Taste," in which a food studies student responds to the article in question.

Our first episodes will début at the beginning of Fall 2025, and you'll definitely be hearing about it!
