A live recording of the KUT podcast “The Secret Ingredient” will ask “Why are people starving in one of the foodie capitals of the world, and what can be done about it?” Food and agriculture writers Raj Patel and Tom Philpott, along with host/producer Rebecca McInroy, will discuss “Feeding Austin’s Hungry” with guests Edwin Marty (Food Policy Manager for the City of Austin) and Erin Lentz (sociologist at the LBJ School of Public Affairs who studies food insecurity).

Doors open at 5:30 pm. The program is free but with limited seating. First come, first seated. More information on Facebook.

Location: Cactus Café, Texas Union, University of Texas
