Description
In light of the onslaught of articles calling for cutting back on meat consumption, host Dana Cowin talks to one of the country's pre-eminent butchers, Philadelphia-based Heather Thomason of Primal Supply Meats about her chosen career. Thomason describes her transition from dancer to designer and finally to butcher in a way that makes this windy path seem inevitable. She also explains the importance of rotational grazing, and how this approach to farming can, in fact, improve the land rather than destroy it the way industrial farming does.Want to stay up to date on the latest Speaking Broadly episodes?

Baker Bon Vivant: Allison Robicelli: Allison Robicelli is best known for the insanely decadent desserts that she developed with her husband Matt for their Brooklyn bakery, Robicelli's. Their cupcakes like the Nutella Lasagna became viral hits and their book, Robicelli's: A Love Story with Cupcakes was on a zillion best-seller lists. In the last year, though, the couple closed their shop, moved to Baltimore, and hit the pause button. Allison shares stories of near super-human resilience: thriving after the financial crisis squelched her business, tending to Matt through repeated hospital stays, finding an outlet for anguish and joy through writing. by Speaking Broadly
