If you give a damn about the food you eat and how it’s made, then you’ll love Aisle 42—our weekly podcast where we go behind the scenes of the food & beverage industry.
Aisle 42
Join Corwin Hiebert as he talks with mission-driven food founders, leaders, farmers, retailers, and climate experts about fixing our broken food system, and redefining the future of the grocery store.
Referencing The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, the number 42 helps set the stage as we discuss sustainability as both a perplexing problem and a simple solution—one that we don’t have 7 million years to figure out… the future of food is now.
