Recode’s Land of the Giants Podcast Launches “Delivery Wars” in Collaboration with Eater

Today, Recode’s award-winning narrative franchise, Land of the Giants, and Eater have teamed up to kick off a special mini-series, “Delivery Wars.” Hosted by food writer and host of See Something, Say Something, Ahmed Ali Akbar, the new series will explore how food delivery became a multi-billion dollar industry, and the effects it has had on restaurants, workers, and consumers.

The four-part episodic series will delve into how food delivery apps are changing the way we eat—within a couple of clicks—and how the third party app ecosystem has dramatically changed consumer behavior, created new job markets, and disrupted small businesses, with co-hosting from special guests Jason Del Ray, Recode’s senior correspondent, and Amanda Kludt, Eater’s editor-in-chief.

Listen to the trailer, which is out today, and subscribe to Land of Giants for free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
