Tune in … and #PressforProgress

We often say around here that we’re “consumed by food.” Recently, I’ve been consumed by a certain aspect of the food world – food media. I feel like I’m on a first name basis with the podcast hosts who entertain me on my walk to work each morning. In the evenings, I bounce between countless food blogs and cooking sites – and in all likelihood, a food documentary is probably playing in the background too.

As I contemplated my podcast library recently, it struck me how this medium has introduced me to so many women who are blazing new trails in the food world and pushing the boundaries of what shapes our food system. As today marks International Women’s Day (IWD), a day to “celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievement of women,” I’m eager to share some of the most powerful food podcasts led by women. They have provided me with endless knowledge and inspiration.

Fittingly, this year’s IWD theme is #PressforProgress, which calls on all of us to think, act and be gender inclusive. Considered another way, it also makes me think of the women who comprise the “press” of the food world. The women highlighted below embody this year’s theme, as they use their megaphones to push for greater gender equity and representation in the food world and beyond.

There are so many ways we can #PressforProgress in the year ahead, but one small step may be expanding the list of women we turn to for their expertise and perspective on our rapidly evolving food world. What podcasts are on your “must listen” list? Send your recommendations to [email protected].
