This wraps up a week of highlighting the university podcasts from HigherEdPods. There’s so much more in their directory, so I’m sure I’ll be revisiting these shows and continuing to brand out to additional schools in the future.

Talking FACS

The acronym is for the University of Kentucky Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Program. This show caught my eye because universities have so many programs that extend into their local communities not just active students. This show is hosted by Mindy McCulley and I listened to an episode that had compelling data and stories about food insecurity in Kentucky. Also impressive - the longevity of the show; I can see 460 episodes in their feed, though that’s probably only a partial list, as the episode number listed on this episode is number 636 - wow.
