Every Saturday at 11am PST, the Los Angeles radio station KCRW broadcasts Evan Kleiman’s Good Food program. Those who observe shabbat, or who want to listen to the program from outside the LA area, can download the audio afterwards here or subscribe to a regular podcast here.
Kleiman founded Slow Food Los Angeles and she has interviewed several figures connected to environmental issues and the slow food movement, including of of the movement’s leading lights, Michael Pollan. Good Food has also broadcast several past programs discussing Jewish food issues. Let’s hope there are more soon!
What food programs that discuss Jewish food, local food, and/or environmental issues do you listen to on the radio in your neighborhood? Please tell us below in the comments: we’re especially interested in hearing about programs that are available online for download or to listen to as podcasts, so that our worldwide readership can join in the conversation.

I’m one of the co-hosts of the Yiddish Hour on KBOO 90.7fm, a community radio station in Portland, Oregon. Our show is primarily devoted to music and Jewish culture; however, on March 29 at 10am PDT, I’ll be presenting a special on Jews, food and ethics. I’ll be focusing on the eco-kashrut movement featuring an interview with Rabbi Arthur Waskow, and I’ll also have an interview with Rabbi Morris Allen, founder of the Hechsher Tzedek Initiative. In addition, I’ll have a couple live interviews with two of Portland’s Jewish organic farmers.
You can stream the show live for free anywhere on planet earth at http://www.kboo.fm, and I plan to also have it available for podcast, from the same web address.
Hope you can tune in!
