Join cohosts Vallery and Ethan for a conversation with Adrian Miller, aka The Soul Food Scholar. He's a recovering lawyer and former special advisor to President Bill Clinton, who changed careers to pursue his interests in African heritage food (especially soul food), barbecue, the intersection of faith and food, and presidential foodways. He is the James Beard Award-winning author of Soul Food  and The President's Kitchen Cabinet.

In March, HRN began producing all of our 35 weekly shows from our homes all around the country. It was hard work stepping away from our little recording studio, but we know that you rely on HRN to share resources and important stories from the world of food each week. It’s been a tough year for all of us, but right now HRN is asking for your help. Every dollar that listeners give to HRN provides essential support to keep our mics on. We've got some fresh new thank you gifts available, like our limited edition bandanas.
