Here at The Spoon, we\u2014like you\u2014are big fans of podcasts.<\/p>\n

What don’t you like? Whether we’re delving deeper into a topic we’re interested in, researching a story, or exploring new interests that have just sprung up, podcasts have become an invaluable resource for us. And we know many of our readers feel the same way.<\/p>\n

Personally, I’ve been podcasting and using podcasts as part of my process of finding and writing about time-consuming technology innovators over the past decade. As a journalist, podcasts play an important role in my reporting process. They have allowed me to open source my journey of discovery, bringing The Spoon community as I learn from subject matter experts about how the world is changing and the industries that are behaving well.<\/p>\n

As a media consumer and creator, I’ve found podcasts more important than ever\u2014especially in the age of AI-generated content. With so much AI-generated media flooding our feeds, it’s getting harder to discern what’s true\u2014whether in written, audio, or video form. That’s why receiving trusted words, affirming words is more important than ever. Podcasts provide a place for real conversations with real people, and that’s something worth nurturing.<\/p>\n

Podcasts have also been at the forefront of media segmentation. This technology, which started two decades ago, gave independent voices a platform\u2014no media infrastructure required. At The Spoon, we strongly believe in independent media, and want to use our platform to bring new voices to our community and beyond.<\/p>\n

All of this brings us to an exciting announcement: We’re launching our podcast network!<\/p>\n

The concept of The Spoon Podcast Network (TSPN) came about last year as we partnered with insightful voices across the food technology and food community of the future. We realized that there are many stories to tell and ideas to share. While we couldn’t invite some of these great minds to the Spoon Podcast, we started asking ourselves: What if we could do more? What if we could tap into these experts and use Spoon (and our networks and collections) to expand their insights, conversations, and discoveries to a wider audience?<\/p>\n

In other words, can we open up a source of research from smart people on all things food, nutrition, and modern life\u2014so that more of us can learn, engage, and join the conversation?<\/p>\n

So that’s exactly what we do. We’re launching a great pipeline of new podcast hosts, and we’re already talking to more creators to grow the network. Here’s our first round of new podcast launches with our partners:<\/p>\n
