The podcast episodes 'Ep. 120: A Scientific Approach to Fighting Hunger in the US' Ep. 120: A Scientific Approach to Fighting Hunger in the US and 'Ep. 30: The Evidence Is In: SNAP Works' Ep. 30: The Evidence Is In: SNAP Works focus on the importance of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) in addressing food insecurity in the United States.

The episodes discuss the recent update to the USDA's Thrifty Food Plan, which determines SNAP benefit amounts, and how this change will better reflect the true cost of a healthy diet for low-income households. The episodes also highlight the need for more nutrition research funding and a systems-based approach that recognizes the interconnections between issues like food production, climate change, and social justice.
