I am so happy to have found this podcast dedicated to food insecurity for their first season, because it has been an issue I have long been interested in. It is comprehensive and brings to light a lot of interesting solutions.

A breakthrough, standout podcast that is absolutely amazing

the fifty-one is an insightful podcast which investigates and explores the issues that matter today. here, women's voices are prioritized, and their expertise is celebrated. i can't wait to hear more from this bunch.

From the first few seconds first episode I listened to, I had already learned something. "Food desert" was a term I had heard of, but wasn't even aware of the threat it poses to women in the U.S. today. I don't ever think about these issues on the day to day, but if this podcast can help to make me both more aware and accountable as a citizen, it's something I want to definitely hear more of!

It's rare to see a podcast that can tackle various social issues without things getting lost in the shuffle or info overload--The Fifty One's emphasis on highlighting issues on a local level is one of the rare gems where you feel like you're getting the whole picture AND the local solutions. I just finished the episode on The Role of Ethnic Markets & Bodegas and felt like I walked away with a foundation of knowledge that I definitely didn't have before...I had no idea how much representation played a role in food solutions. It's also worth noting that the podcast is super easy to listen to. Great mix of voices and perspectives, and engaging the entire time. The Fifty One gets you noticing things in your community you might not have before, and I can't wait to keep listening. Bravo for highlighting local reporters and turning this into such a solution-focused space!

It's so refereshing when you find a podcast that has a host and a subject matter are poignant, but also incredibly clear. I love that there are various soundbites from different guests. I was nodding my head in agreement the whole time!

This is a riveting, well-researched, and important podcast. It will inform and enrage you to learn why food deserts exist for so many Americans. If you want to understand why so many lack access to healthy food, I implore you to listen to this.

I enjoy this podcast. It is part conversation, part journalism and entirely illuminating.
