Heartland Stories Radio is a weekly 29-minute radio show that is also
available as a podcast, sponsored initially by the Heartland Study, a non
profit research project dedicated to protecting the health of pregnant
women and their babies. Each show engages listeners on the issues and
challenges in food, farming and global health. While the team is in the
Heartland, where much food is produced, our issues and interviews are with
change makers, influentials and everyday people from all over the globe. We
present solid information about what we all can do together to assure a
healthy and just food system for the 21st century.
