Madison – WPR adds Milk Street Radio to its Sunday morning lineup. From street food in Thailand to a bakery in a Syrian refugee camp to how one scientist uses pollen analysis to track the origins of honey (and also to solve cold murder cases), Milk Street Radio goes anywhere and everywhere to discover new and old cooking traditions and delve into the lives and cultures of the people who grow, produce, and create the food we eat.

“We are thrilled to be part of Wisconsin Public Radio,” said host Christopher Kimball. “We’re looking forward to bringing a whole world of fascinating stories, new ideas and new flavors to Wisconsin.” Milk Street Radio will air Sundays at 10 a.m. on the Ideas Network, replacing America’s Test Kitchen Radio which finishes production at the end of 2016.

If you recognize the name, Kimball is the creator and former host of America’s Test Kitchen and founder of Cook’s Magazine, later relaunching it as Cook’s Illustrated. He also publishes Cook’s Country magazine and is the author of several books including his latest, Fannie’s Last Supper.

Joining Kimball on the show is author and public television host Sara Moulton, New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik, wine blogger Steven Meuse and host of The Sporkfull podcast Dan Pashman.
