Soup to Nuts thru December 14

On my way through Wisconsin last Sunday, I happend upon the WPR show TO THE BEST OF OUR KNOWLEDGE turns out they are running a program on food conversations....but you can download them from the website at Soup to Nuts


Later this fall To The Best of Our Knowledge will present a scrumptious six-part series on food. "From Soup to Nuts: Fourteen Conversations About Good Food" will feature some of the world's top chefs and food writers who are eager to celebrate the pleasures of the table with public radio listeners.

Hi,

This is great! I love streaming audio from the internet. Especially archived, when I can listen when I have time.

I often to listen to radio programs from around the country on live streaming audio. In NYC, they had Arthur Schwartz do a daily one hour food show at midday. He often had interesting cookbook authors visiting. Unfortunately it has left the air.

A benefit, at least for now, streaming audio from the radio eliminates many of the advertisements. This benefit may be short lived as union talent fees are renegotiated. Until then it means there is a silence or filler music, which is easy to ignore.

Thanks for this posting.

This is well worth listening to, too, and no it's not Terry Gross's interview with Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (though that is sui generis). It's about a WPA project to document regional food folkways that's basically been sitting in a file cabinet all these years.

That was one of the greatest radio interviews of all time! I had no idea that Terry Gross had a sense of humor (or did she think Triumph was a real dog?).

Hi,

ON the link Mike G provided, one of the people interview is John T. Edge whom I know from Culinary Historians and Southern Foodways Conference.
