This podcast series has been developed and workshopped by students in Cathy Stanton’s food studies courses over the past four semesters. It offers a toolkit for rethinking

• what food waste is (hint: not always what you think)
• how we interact with it
• how we might change the conditions that produce and even require it.

There are seven episodes, for a total of about an hour.

• Listen to the podcast episodes on Spotify:

  • Ep 1: There’s an elephant in your refrigerator.
  • Ep 2: There’s no such thing as food waste.
  • Ep 3: Trust your senses when it comes to food!
  • Ep 4: There’s far too much food in our food system.
  • Ep 5: Scaling up is a solution that turns into a problem.
  • Ep 6: Waste and want are two problems that only seem to solve each other.
