Tune into something new and help out a cause. 

What if you could help support a nonprofit’s cause just by listening? Turns out, you absolutely can through listening to a nonprofit podcast and becoming knowledgeable about the efforts of the organizations that produce them.

A topic near and dear to the hearts of many (our team at The Houston Pod included) is food. Thousands upon thousands of people in our world go hungry every single day, and climate change and harsh political differences are a cause for great concern in terms of feeding our world and supporting our ecosystems so that we can continue to grow the food that fills our plates and keeps us healthy.

This week, we’re taking this opportunity to give back to those who are giving the most in the podcast world and spreading the word on three fantastic non-profit food podcasts that are well worth a listen and even more worthy of a donation to their cause.

1. Heritage Radio Network

Why just recommend one podcast when we can recommend an entire network of food-based content to enjoy?

Since 2009, Heritage Radio Network has been recording and distributing podcasts that cover the ins and outs of food and everything related to it. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Heritage Food Network broadcasts from two recycled shipping containers behind Roberta’s Pizza and they’re supported entirely by their partners and members that share their passion.

With over 40 hosts and hundreds of episodes in their archives, there’s guaranteed to be something new for you to dig into in order to satisfy whatever you’re craving. Policy makers, chefs, brewers, farmers, advocates, and so many more individuals gather together under one roof to share their love and interests in food, all for the good cause of educating the community on everything from food science to preparation, history to health.

Check them out on their website and Apple Podcasts, and support their cause to continue to spread the word on the importance of food education here.

2. Food Tank: Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg

3. Hacking Hunger Podcast

The last nonprofit podcast we’re going to highlight is Hacking Hunger Podcast from World Food Program (WFP) USA. WFP works with US corporations, foundations, policymakers, and individuals to alleviate global hunger.
