Bonus: Bug Out on Meat and Three Jun 17, 2021

We want to help you find your next favorite food podcast. This week, we’re sharing HRN’s flagship show Meat and Three which features food news and storytelling. Modeled after the Southern meat-and-three-sides concept, each episode has one deep dive and three shorts.

The show’s most recent episode was all about insects. We unpack the mysterious patterns of cicadas in the US, investigate the presence of radioactive isotopes in honey, meet a self-professed edible insect ambassador, and do some insect cooking of our own. Michael Davenport would surely support giving insects some culinary consideration.

If you like what you hear, subscribe to Meat and Three wherever you listen to podcasts and never miss an episode. (Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS).
