You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and I'd like to tell you a bit about the

podcast I work on. I'm Dan Clark and I commissioned factual podcasts at the BBC.

It's a massive area but I'd sum it up as stories to help us make sense of the forces shaping the world.

What podcasting does is give us the space and the time to take brilliant BBC journalism

and tell amazing compelling stories that really get behind the headlines.

And what I get really excited about is when we find a way of drawing you into a subject

you might not even have thought you were interested in.

Whether it's investigations, science, tech, politics, culture, true crime, the environment,

you can always discover more with a podcast on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Sheila Dylan and welcome to this BBC download of the Food Program.

A billion people are hungry and we're chopping down forests to grow more and more food.

I'm Tristram Stewart and I've been campaigning on food waste since I was a 15 year old boy

when I went to my school kitchens and asked them for their leftovers to

feed my pigs. I did the same with the local baker and the local greengrocer and a

farmer who was throwing away potatoes which were the wrong shape or size for

supermarkets. That was great.
