Introducing: The Side Dish
Since 2018, Proof has been sharing incredible stories; from that first episode, which brought the curious history of celery to life, to our most recent episode about the role that wild game plays in healing patients at Alaska’s largest medical center, we have loved exploring the ways that food intersects with science, history, and culture. We will be sunsetting this podcast, but our feed is here to stay, so you can still return to listen to all your favorite episodes, and any you may have missed from the last 21 seasons. Thank you so much for listening and supporting our work. Some new podcasts from America’s Test Kitchen are on the horizon, like the one we'll be introducing here, called The Side Dish. It's a video podcast hosted by Bridget Lancaster and Julia Collin Davison, where they ditch their aprons and go off script; giving culinary advice, answering questions from a listener hotline, and so much more. Subscribe to The Side Dish on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts. You can also watch The Side Dish on Netflix.

The Hospital That Serves Wild Game
What if hospital food could actually help you heal? In this episode of Proof, Reporter Otis Gray travels from the waters of Southeast Alaska to the Alaska Native Medical Center, the only hospital in the U.S. that serves wild game like moose, caribou, salmon, and seal to patients. We'll explore how traditional Indigenous foods can function as medicine, offering not just nutrition, but comfort, connection, and a sense of home.
