5-Minute Fridays: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Edible New Mexico
5 Minute Fridays is a podcast that highlights the winners of Edible New Mexico’s Local Hero Awards: people making contributions in the realm of good food work in New Mexico and contributing to a more robust local food system in our state. We share food stories served up with a side of levity—and no, no episode is actually five minutes. We have a lot of fun while discovering new ways to think about and understand the food (and drink) that lands on our tables and the people who put it there. Each season, co-hosts Stephanie and Walt Cameron deliver a new episode on Fridays.
