Sponsored: Have a Listen to "Ingles Information Aisle"

For the past 11 years I've been the host of the "Ingles Information Aisle" that airs every Saturday morning on News Radio 570 am (WWNC 570am) at 8am-8:30am ET.  This station is part of the "iheart" radio network (www.iheart.com) so you can listen to it on the radio in your car, home or on-line or even with the iheart "app" on your smart phone.

I usually record the shows on Wednesdays in the WWNC 570am studio in West Asheville and set up the guests myself.  The guests and topics usually pertain in some way to Ingles Markets, food, health or nutrition.  Often the shows feature interviews with some of our local farmers and vendors.  

Over the years I've had a variety of different guests and many of their interviews are archived on inglesinfoaisle.com/podcast.

Here are just a few:

Sherry Coleman Collins Dietitian for the Peanut Board - Who talked about when and how to introduce peanuts to infants.

Gretchen Brown Owner of Munkii Foods, a "globally inspired" trail mix.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
