About Little Hill Podcast

Little Hill is a podcast about food, and about the systems that put it in front of you and animal rights. Some episodes are long investigations — a parasite moving through a supply chain nobody can see into, a company whose name never appears on anything you have bought from it, a regulation quietly withdrawn the summer before it was needed. Some are conversations: with the people who grow it, cook it and sell it, with the activists trying to change how it is produced, and with the people who have thought hardest about whether we should be eating animals at all. That last question runs through the whole show. We report on animal agriculture and on animal rights, on the campaigns aimed at both, and on the case for eating plants instead — the ethical argument, and what the evidence actually supports about what it does for your health. We are not neutral about how animals are farmed and we do not pretend to be. What we are is exactly as careful with a claim that supports our position as with one that undermines it. No figure goes out without a source you could check yourself. When our sources disagree, we say so on air and read both, rather than choosing the one that makes the better story. When somebody is criticised here, their response runs in full, in their own words. When we get something wrong, we correct it — on air and in writing. The result is slower than most news and more careful than most food media, and it is meant to be...

   Little Hill Podcast - Special Report - Someone Else's Problem — The Cyclospora Files, Part Three

   The cost of this outbreak has landed almost entirely on people who had no part in causing it and no way to see it coming. Part three is about where it went instead: a theory of government that treats regulation as somebody else's business, a labour arrangement in Arizona, thirty-two million dollars that went missing from a company's own accounts, and six state health departments who inherited a caseload from a supply chain none of them control. It ends with Taylor Farms' own answer to the t...

   Little Hill Podcast - Special Report - The Box Stays in the Back — The Cyclospora Files, Part Two

   You have probably been buying this company for thirty years without ever once seeing its name on anything. Taylor Farms is a private-label supplier. It grows, washes, cuts and bags produce, and then somebody else's logo goes on the front — which means that when something goes wrong, the recall notice names a brand you have heard of and the box stays in the back. Part two is about what that arrangement does to a person standing in a supermarket trying to work out whether the bag in their han...

   Little Hill Podcast - Special Edition - Under Control — The Cyclospora Files, Part One

   On 21 July, the US Health Secretary said the outbreak was under control. This is what the fortnight after that sentence actually looked like: a parasite moving through the American lettuce supply, a case count nobody could read, and a surveillance programme that stopped requiring anybody to track this organism at all. More than 22,000 people are now confirmed or suspected to have been infected in what is the largest cyclosporiasis outbreak on record in the United States. 517 have been hospi...
