In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think, host Amy O'Neill Houck speaks with Julia O’Malley about wild Alaska salmon.
As a third-generation Alaskan, and a journalist, teacher, editor, and cook, Julia's work in newsrooms, classrooms, and kitchens explores Alaska’s culture, politics, climate, and food.
This conversation builds on a recent article O’Malley wrote for Edible Communities titled “Alaska Runs on Salmon.” She delves into the five species of wild salmon fished in Alaska, what makes them unique, and what the challenges are that affect the fish and those who build their lives around them.

In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think, we speak with Twilight Greenaway and Reginaldo Haslett-Maroquin. Twilight is the executive editor of Civil Eats and is the author of a recent story that was done in partnership with Edible Communities. Reginaldo, or Regi, is featured in the story as he shares the history and vision for Tree-Range Farms, a Minnesota-based network of over forty farms stewarding land and raising chickens among trees and perennial crops using a method that supports both the land and the birds. Through this network, and as the founder of the nonprofit Regenerative Agriculture Alliance, he is focused on creating a collective governance structure to ensure the ecosystem’s social, economic and ecological criteria remain intact as it grows in scope and scale.
Our discussion goes deeper into the topic of regenerative poultry production and both Twilight and Regi share their observations, hopes and vision for the future.

In this episode of Eat. Drink. Think., we talk with Alicia Kennedy, an acclaimed journalist and author of the new book, No Meat Required: the Cultural History & Culinary Future of Plant-Based Eating. We discuss how the book examines what it has meant to be vegetarian throughout the last several generations. From religious asceticism, via hippy counterculture, punk and post punk, all the way to the media’s current obsession with lab-grown meat replacements, we touch on the intersections of climate, politics, and food justice along with the very real need to have something nourishing, healthy, and delicious to eat each day.
