It's a feed drop! We're swapping shows with Your Last Meal with Rachel Belle — a show that, yes, asks every guest what their last meal would be, but also consults with chefs and culinary anthropologists, ice cream scientists and hungry astronauts to uncover the history, science, and culture of these dishes. The episode we're featuring today boasts a guest like no other: comedian Margaret Cho! Join her as she talks to Rachel about spam musubi, opening for Jerry Seinfeld in her late teens, and foraging with her family as a kid.

Earth Day, with Earth Warrior Bill McKibben

Coming to you from Nagasaki, Japan! Mark and his partner, Kathleen Finlay, talk to each other about their trip to one of Japan's school lunch centers, a place that serves 1,750 students and serves as an excellent model for what a progressive lunch program looks like: carefully curated and delicious menu, cooked from fresh and seasonal ingredients; made affordable for everyone; no time limit; a focus on service and community and making food a part of education. PLUS: More from food stylist Barrett Washburne, who talks to Kate about the laws around food styling and weird things that are done to foods — like supergluing a turkey.
