The Hot Dish podcast, hosted by former U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp and her brother Joel, features entertaining stories of everyday people making a difference in rural and small-town communities. Heidi and Joel also discuss key issues with the elected leaders, policymakers, and academics who are creating new opportunities for rural Americans and finding practical solutions to their challenges. Punctuated with entertaining conversations and a healthy dose of sibling rivalry, One Country Project's Hot Dish is informative, enlightening, and downright fun.
