Celtic Songlines

This week on Celtic Songlines, a Fire in the Kitchen with the Chieftains and Canada's Natalie MacMaster and Dave MacIsaac, more jigs to dance to with Tommy Martin & Patsy O' Brien, a few tunes from the bands Téada and Kefuffle, pagan folk from Faun, always a treat to include songs from Dougie MacLean and Kate Rusby. We wrap it up with fine music from Clannad and Cúig. 

Tune in on Tuesdays from 11 a.m. to noon at KDRT 95.7 FM, with replays Monday 8–9 p.m. and Saturday 6–7 p.m. Outside our broadcast area, you can stream at kdrt.org, or subscribe to the Celtic Songlines podcast on Apple podcasts. 

Davisville, Oct. 2, 2023: Meat is changing, and UC Davis is helping it to happen

At a very simple level, we’re talking today about hamburgers, although the subject goes much deeper than that. Today’s show concerns food, taste, the environment, commerce, questions of how to feed the world — and it’s directly a Davis story, because the University of California at Davis is a national leader in this area of research, and their work is attracting food tech startups to the region. The subject is cultivated meat, or meat substitutes that barely exist beyond the lab for now, but should come eventually to a store or menu near you.

Our guests today are Denneal Jamison-McClung and Kara E. Leong. Kara is the executive director of the UC Davis Cultivated Meat Consortium; Denneal is the director of the UC Davis Biotechnology Program, and co-founded the consortium. They can help us understand what’s happening and why it matters.
