The Main Course was the first show to ever debut on Heritage Radio Network (HRN) back in April 2009 and the first show to reach 200 episodes! Now called The Main Course O.G., its original host and HRN founder, Patrick Martins is joined by Emily Pearson of Heritage Foods, Brandon Hoy owner of Roberta’s and author/musician-in-residence, Mike Edison. Each week special guests join the panel to discuss entertaining topics of the moment in a no-holds-barred roundtable format that will surely make you laugh — from CBD oil to Meghan Markle to Jewish tête-oir and stories of iconic food and culture visionaries. The round table is followed by a short interview with our visiting guests which include America’s smartest chefs, farmers, artisans, and activists.
On today’s episode of The Main Course, host Patrick Martins is joined in the studio by Denny Abrams. Denny is best known for the creation of the Fourth Street Shops in Berkeley, California, but also has been involved in the building of three radio stations in the United States. Tune in to hear Patrick and Denny discuss the importance of public spaces in urban development, and why local economies benefit from sound urban design. Why are streets so important to democracy? Listen in to hear Patrick and Denny discuss the best neighborhoods in the country, and what features make them so distinctive. Learn more about young people’s fascination with urban authenticity. Later, Patrick calls up Miles from Jupiter in Berkeley to discuss the restaurant’s operation, as well as the public’s opinion of San Francisco. This episode has been sponsored by White Oak Pastures.
“The street is the expression of real democracy. The street belongs to everyone.”
“Oakland is very much like Brooklyn- local businesses are paramount to the local economy.”
