- Food on the RoadDecember 27 2008
- Globe-trotting as an international radio correspondent may sound like a life of luxury, filled with sumptuous meals.

- Hungry PlanetDecember 27 2008
- Imagine collecting everything your family eats in a week, putting it all on a table, and then telling stories about your meals. Thirty families on five continents did just that with Peter Menzel and Faith D’Aluisio, who then wrote a book about those families called Hungry Planet: How the World Eats. Host Peggy Wehmeyer talks with Menzel and D'Aluisio about their food journey.

Reporter Daniel Estrin discovered the café when he first arrived in Israel a few years ago.
- Grasshopper GrubDecember 27 2008
- When it's time for dinner in developing countries, the question often is not about what to eat, but whether there is anything to eat at all. The World Food Program says one out of every six people in the developing world goes hungry every day. Rosa and David Martinez might have been among them. They were subsistence farmers in Oaxaca, Mexico. They're old and poor and can no longer work their land, so they could have been in real trouble were it not for a new "crop" they came across recently. Conrad Fox reports.
