A few months ago a good friend recording this conversation about food waste (40mins long) with Jess from my local zero waste grocery store The Good Neighbour in Dublin 14 and my good friend and fellow zero waster Kalpana Shanker.
We did if for two reasons, 1 as a test for a podcasting series and 2, as a podcast sample for the sound editor, and my friend, Glenn Kuafmann

A podcast would definitely add variety to the blog. Loved this one.
EUR 800 of avoidable food waste is huge!
Particularly liked the idea of the app where you post the food waste available and people come and take it away. I don’t think we have that in India and I see it being really useful. (We have a system like this – offline – for paper wastes though)

Thanks for the comment Saurab. I did enjoy doing the podcast, but not sure I could do it along with the blog. Might have to alternate them. There’s a lot of work in preparing for a podcast.
Olio is a great app for sharing food. Maybe they’d be interested in starting in India if you contact them.

I can imagine the workload! I did make a video blog sometime back and I’m sure podcasts would take more work than that.
I’ll try to get in touch with them, thanks Elaine!

That’s so, so nice of you to say. Thanks a mill. Little did I know then that we’d wouldn’t be able to get together again for quite a while. Makes me appreciate the chat all the more.
