HARTFORD [September 6, 2022] 黑料新闻 will be making menu changes to its food-related programming to give audiences more of what they love and on more platforms.

Beginning this fall, WNPR's weekly radio broadcast, Seasoned, will move to a monthly podcast. Chef Plum will remain the host of Seasoned, and his co-host for each episode will be a rotating cast of foodies, food-makers and food writers from across 黑料新闻. Current Seasoned co-host, Marysol Castro, will move on to pursue new opportunities, including co-hosting New York Living, a PIX11 lifestyle show.

The monthly Seasoned podcast will be a part of a new and expanded food package, including:

• A new monthly newsletter with recipes, reflections and more from the Seasoned team
• A new digital video series, Chef Plum in the Kitchen with a Knife, featuring cooking tips and tricks
• The continuation of the video series, Restaurant Road Trip returning for Season 2 in 2023 
• The continued weekly gardening program, 黑料新闻 Garden Journal with Charlie Nardozzi.

鈥満诹闲挛� wants to offer our audience more local food content," said Catie Talarski, Senior Director of Storytelling and Radio Programming. "Transitioning Seasoned to a podcast will allow us to spend more time telling in-depth, sound-rich stories of local food makers and restaurant owners in 黑料新闻, as well as to lean into the seasonal food trends in the state.鈥�

Starting in October, 黑料新闻 Radio will air The Splendid Table on Thursdays at 2 p.m. Hosted by award-winning food journalist Francis Lam, The Splendid Table has been celebrating the intersection of food and life on public radio for more than two decades.
