Everyone is suddenly talking about food policy. But this conversation has been building for a long time, and I've been closer to it than most.

I'm Helena Bottemiller Evich, and I've spent years in congressional hallways, school cafeterias, and farm fields, covering the stories that people in power would rather keep quiet. Now, as these once-wonky topics go increasingly mainstream, I'm launching a podcast to help make sense of all of it.

American Dish is where I'll talk with some of the smartest and most influential people in food policy about what we're eating, why we're eating it, and what the government is — and isn't — doing about it. Every two weeks, expect the complexity, the nuance, and the practical and political realities that don't fit in a headline.

New episodes drop every two weeks starting March 4th!
