launch of "Digesting Food Studies" - the CFS podcast!

Digesting Food Studies

The editorial team at Canadian Food Studies is very pleased to announce the launch of our new podcast, “Digesting Food Studies.” It’s for learners and teachers, for those working in fields and factories, and for policy and political folks wanting summaries of key themes. Episodes range from food justice to sustainability to intercultural identity, from the technologies of agriculture to the relationships embedded in Indigenous foodways.

Our first six episodes (see below) are now available on most major podcasting platforms, and new episodes will be released every two weeks. (You can also go to the CAFS website or RSS.com to listen on your computer.) Each episode starts with the “Amuse Bouche” segment, in which CFS co-Managing Editor Alexia Moyer shares a cultural food object related to the main theme. That leads into “Chewing on Research,” a conversation with a CFS author about an article they’ve published in the journal. And, wrapping things up in the “After Taste,” an undergrad or graduate student shares their response to the article in question.

Watch our social media and the CAFS listserv for details and updates about new episodes. And of course, like, rate, and subscribe to DFS, so that more people can find the podcast and join the Food Studies community!
