James Beard Leadership Award winner Anna Lappé has spent most of her career as a sustainable food advocate. It all started when Anna Lappé's mom, Frances Moore Lappé (author of "Diet for a Small Planet" and many more) invited Anna to research and then co-author a book with her. That book became "Hope's Edge," and they traveled the world looking at solutions for sustainable food production as an antidote to our food industrial complex. That was 2002. Anna was hooked and has made pushing for a healthier food system her life's work too and she's just been recognized with a James Beard Leadership award. We talk big food and marketing to kids--and the implications for the health of our planet and people.Listen to our conversation on iTunes or NPR One.

Arlie Hochschild has been called "one of the most imaginative and productive feminist sociologists of the last thirty years." She's written a number of books including The Second Shift, The Time Bind and The Outsourced Self. She's a professor emerita at UC Berkeley and lately she's been spending her time trying to understand the rise of the American Right–the only way that she could do that was to leave her Berkeley bubble and go to Louisiana to meet the real people of the Tea Party, not the caricatures. She shares her five year journey in her new book "Strangers in Their Own Land. Anger and Mourning on the American Right".

Tracey Taylor and Lance Knobel are the co-founders of the "hyper-local" news site Berkeleyside.com and Uncharted, The Berkeley Festival of Ideas. We discuss the difference between having power and having ideas, and how the Uncharted line up is diverse by design, unlike other conferences which lean toward the usual (white, male) speakers. Listen in on iTunes or NPR One.
Tickets are on sale at berkeleyideas.com. Uncharted 2016 runs October 14th and 15th in Berkeley. I'll be talking with author Ruth Whippman on Saturday the 15th.
