The newest addition to our programming, Milk Street Radio, has already found a home on WAMC. From street food in Thailand to a bakery in a Syrian refugee camp to how one scientist uses state of the art pollen analysis to track the origins of honey (and also to solve cold murder cases), Christopher Kimball’s Milk Street Radio asks questions and gets answers about cooking, food, culture, wine, farming, restaurants, and literature. Tune in every Sunday at 7 a.m. The show takes the place of Marketplace Weekend, which ended production in June.
For many, summer means travel and enjoying the outdoors. Travel With Rick Steves can also be heard on Sunday mornings.
