Cascara Wide

A new episode of Cascara is out now from the Sprudge Podcast Network—a growing mixtape of podcast shows dedicated to coffee, culture, and the intersection therein. Cascara, the coffee travel podcast, is hosted by Cydni Patterson. In this episode, Patterson takes us to Indianapolis and interviews Gya Torres of Foundation Coffee Company to talk about their work fighting food insecurity in their community.

“Foundation coffee is partnered with the Patachou Foundation,” Patterson explains, “and they serve delicious coffee while helping distribute over 2000 afterschool meals to children in the Indianapolis public school system.”
