'The Experiment' Podcast Digs Into SPAM

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Feb 15, 2022

In this three-part series, the WNYC and The Atlantic podcast, The Experiment, embarks on a remarkable journey to the heart of SPAM—from remote Philippine provinces, to Austin, Minnesota, aka SPAMtown U.S.A., where SPAM employed generations of meatpackers, and tore the town apart. Producers Julia Longoria and Gabrielle Berbey join us to discuss SPAM: How the American Dream Got Canned.

This episode is guest-hosted by Matt Katz.
