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 this week’s installment of The Main Course, Patrick Martins is talking about the beginnings of the Heritage Radio Network with the station’s staff and supporters. In the studio today is Erin Fairbanks (Executive Director), Jack Inslee (President), Katy Keiffer (host of Straight, No Chaser), and Brian Kenny (Hearst Ranch). All of Patrick’s guests have been involved with Heritage Radio Network since its inception; tune in to hear the crew recall some of their favorite moments at the station. Hear about the future of the network as a non-profit entity. Later, Patrick is joined by Clay Gordon, host of the new HRN show Straight From the Source and founder of TheChocolateLife.com. Tune in to hear Clay discuss fair trade certifications, cocoa cooperatives, and his origins in the business. Finally, Brian Kenny brings us out with some sweet guitar pickin’. This episode has been sponsored by Hearst Ranch.
“In terms of what the radio network represents to me- it’s like a beacon of freedom in programming and content development from a media perspective.” —
