About Us

HRN is the only podcast network dedicated to food, beverages, and the culinary world.

We create podcasts that explore the rich and essential stories behind food, passing the microphone to both established and emerging voices. Since 2009, HRN has collaborated with thought leaders, celebrity chefs, food advocates, and forward-thinking brands in addition to the countless fellows who discover their voices through our educational programming, all with the support of HRN’s devoted listeners.

Our shows cover everything from the artistry of baking to the craft of brewing, the complexities of cheese mongering to the challenges of solving climate change. HRN shows offer many different voices and topics, but they share the same goals.

HRN’s mission is to build a more sustainable world by shifting the way we think about food. Through storytelling, we amplify voices, spotlight solutions, and inspire change that helps foster equity and environmental stewardship for all.

History

We’ve been serving up thought-provoking conversations ever since Heritage Foods founder Patrick Martins and an intrepid group of visionary thinkers banded together to build a recording studio out of two recycled shipping containers in the backyard of Roberta’s Pizza, a restaurant at the forefront of Brooklyn’s culinary renaissance. We pass the mic and give the farmers, chefs, servers, activists, and entrepreneurs working to improve the food system a megaphone.
