Here's a blast from the past! Over ten years ago, Heritage Radio Network launched to cover foodways as they had never been covered before. This episode of The Main Course was the very first episode aired on the network, on April 5th, 2009. In this piece of history, Patrick talks news with Will Harris, Jeff May and Jeremy Hirsch.
