This edition - the Sharing Bucket - is created as part of the UKRI-funded 'TRI-SoME Chicken' project, led by colleagues in Geography and Environmental Science at the University of Southampton, to research UK food system resilience.
You are invited to listen and take part in a conversation about chicken(s) as animals and as food in popular.
Expect a range of cultural texts - films, music videos, essays, and podcasts - that will be combined, digested, and transformed into fertile matter.
