Podcasts, Stadium Eats, Beer: 10 Hot Topics On Food Republic

It was a big week in the sports world. The Major League Baseball World Series wrapped up with the championship going to the Houston Astros for the very first time. While sports arenas are getting more gourmet and environmentally sustainable with their stadium eats, we looked at the arenas dishing up deep-fried specialties. We also launched a brand-new daily podcast all about food and culture called Food Republic Today. The first two episodes are available on Apple Podcast (or wherever you like to listen to podcasts). All that and more on this week's Hot Topics.

We launched a podcast this week! Be sure to listen to Food Republic Today every weekday and subscribe.
