R2Kast 356 – Elspeth Hay on wild food, Cape Cod stories, and acorns as a way of life 🌰📚

Today we welcome Elspeth Hay onto the R2Kast! 🎙️

From Maine to Cape Cod, Elspeth’s journey took a nutty turn when she discovered you can eat acorns… and never looked back! Originally a food and environment journalist, Elspeth now champions the cultural and nutritional value of tree nuts, especially acorns. Her fascination led to a new book and a whole radio show dedicated to local food stories on the Cape. 🧠🎙️

We talk ancient human-forest relationships, the joy of hyperlocal food, and how falling down an oak-scented rabbit hole can reshape your entire career. Her passion is infectious and her curiosity inspiring. 🌳🔍

A beautiful reminder that food stories are everywhere — even in the forest floor.

Enjoy! 😊
