EDUCATION & TOOLS FOR CHANGE REAL FOOD READS BOOKCLUB & PODCAST We’re pleased to have completed the second full year of our monthly #RealFoodReads podcast and book club with over 5,000 plays. Through the podcast, we’ve been able to showcase the work of some of the most important thinkers and writers on food system transformation. By the end of 2018, we had hundreds of readers join us, from Mexico to Italy, Montana to Illinois. Throughout the year, we produced podcast Books should be a refuge from the daily firehose of social media. But with so many new food books out every month, everyone needs a curator like Anna Lappé and the team at Real Food Media. The breadth of their interests ensures that the books by every foodie's bedside are lively and literate, and that the conversations around the ideas are original and surprising. I know this because my co-author and I were thrilled that they selected our book, and that the podcast was one of the most engaging and thought-provoking that we've yet to have around our History of the World in Seven Cheap Things. Thank you Anna and team! episodes featuring interviews between Anna Raj Patel Lappé and the authors and released online Co-Author resources for our listeners worldwide to share in A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things their communities and online. 2018 BOOK SELECTIONS AND PODCAST INTERVIEWS FEATURED THE FOLLOWING AUTHORS' WORK: REAL FOOD MEDIA / 4
