WFIU HD1 
Earth Eats is a weekly podcast, public radio program and blog bringing you the freshest news and recipes inspired by local food and sustainable agriculture.
Our mission is to help people feel more connected to their food. So each week on the program we bring you food news, interviews with local farmers and other movers and shakers in the local food movement, mixed with recipes and cooking tips you can try at home.
The program is available as a weekly podcast and all episodes are archived for online listening.
We also keep tabs on the latest headlines in the areas of local food and sustainability on our blogs and on facebook and twitter.

Earth Eats airs on WFIU HD1 each Saturday at 1 pm. The podcast is available each Friday afternoon on our website and in iTunes.

Chef Daniel Orr draws from a lifelong curiosity about individual ingredients combined with extensive training in the art of finding food’s true essence and flavor. The result is simple, yet sophisticated; the best of American food tempered by classic European training. He calls his cuisine “real food for real people.” He is dedicated to producing these wonderful dishes with local ingredients and in as green an environment as possible.
Born in Bowling Green, Ohio, Annie Corrigan moved to Bloomington, Indiana six years ago to pursue degrees in oboe performance. She balances her announcing and producing responsibilities at WFIU Public Radio with her performing schedule around south-central Indiana. As a result, she often takes naps and eats leftovers. While she does not consider herself a cook even in the slightest, she might eventually get there thanks to everything she’s picked up while working on Earth Eats. To fulfill a New Year’s resolution, she recently became a member of her local co-op. It’s about time.
Megan Meyer spent most of her formative years around foodies. She spent all of her teens working at her town’s natural food co-op in South Dakota, and later when she moved to Minneapolis, worked as a produce maven for the nation’s longest running collectively-managed food co-op. In 2006, she had the distinct pleasure (and pain) of participating the vendanges, or grape harvest, in the Beaujolais terroire of France, where she developed her compulsion to snip off grape clusters wherever they may hang. In the spring of 2008, Megan interned on NPR’s Science Desk in Washington, D.C., where she aided in the coverage of science, health and food policy stories. She joined Indiana Public Media in June, 2009.
A native of Evansville, Indiana, Emily Shelton moved to Bloomington in the fall of 2007 to attend Indiana University, pursuing a major in Telecommunications and a minor in Business. Emily began interning at WFIU in the fall of 2008 and is now an Assistant Web Producer. As an official Earth Eats “tweeter”, Emily loves spreading the word about the importance of environmental issues and “going green”. In her free time, she enjoys watching movies, writing, and looking at pictures of delicious meals that she’ll only ever dream about.
