History

In 2009, largely inspired by Carlo Petrini and his pirate radio station in Italy, Radio Bra Onde Rosse, Patrick Martins founded the Heritage Radio Network in the back of Roberta's in Bushwick, Brooklyn.[2] The radio studio was built using two re-purposed twenty-foot shipping containers.[3][4]

Since its inception, Heritage Radio Network has broadcast more than 4,000 shows and produced more than 30 regular weekly programs about such topics as food technology, beer, cheese, food history and politics, and cocktails.[1] Shows feature guests ranging from chefs, food policy analysts, farmers, restaurateurs, musicians and artists.[5] Previous guests have included Alice Waters, Michael Pollan, Joan Dye Gussow, Éric Ripert, Florence Fabricant, Marion Nestle, Danny Meyer,[6] Jamie Oliver,[7] Anthony Bourdain[8] and more.[9][10][11] All shows are archived and accessible on the Heritage Radio Network website and through iTunes and Stitcher Radio.[4]
