Royce Akers is one third of Pep, a peppy new Australian brand shaking up the world of pepper. Even though pepper has a dramatic and storied history, a driver of fortunes and cross-cultural connection, Royce and his friends thought it had lost its way a little: ubiquitous but under appreciated, rarely elevated or feted in the same way that salt is, for example.

The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers.. A Deep in the Weeds Production An Australian Food Podcast from the Deep in the Weeds Network.

We’re celebrating 800 episodes of Dirty Linen at the moment. Just over five years ago when we started the podcast - the second on the Deep in the Weeds network - it was because there were stories that urgently needed to be told…so we got about it. More than 800 conversations later, we’re still here to show and share the power and possibilities of connecting around food. Thanks for being on the journey with us!

Today’s guest digs into the essential but confusing and sometimes overwhelming issue of sustainability. Natalie Bolt (The Table Food Consultants) looks at people, planet and profit, and the easy wins that help the bottom line while also doing good.
