The Food Podcast

Welcome to season four, episode two of The Food Podcast! This episode is all about the storied history of the blue fin tuna, told through the lens of investigative food systems journalist Karen Pinchin. Through the writing of her book Kings of Their Own Ocean, a story that follows a tagged blue fin called Amelia back and forth across the Atlantic, we also learn about Karen. Karen and I are friends, but it wasn’t until I read this book that I learned how the story of what happens beneath the ocean can also uncover details of human life, Karen’s life.

Thanks for listening,
