Elspeth Pierson

APM produces a new feature here for the WCAI Cape & Island Stations. It's called "The Local Food Report", with Elspeth Hay. Elspeth is constantly exploring the Cape, Islands, the south Coast and all our farmer's markets to find out what's good, what's growing and what to do with it.

Current Podcast:

This week, Elspeth talks with hog farmer Aidan Davin about pork cuts--from belly to fat back to hams.

Science Minutes are created by Atlantic Public Media as part of an ongoing effort to represent the community in the WCAI listening area. Woods Hole is surrounded by science labs and institutions and the Science Minutes try to capture what scientists are doing and thinking about in their labs. Like Sonic IDs, these short portraits and stories are woven into the broadcast day.
