ARLINGTON, VA – The 35th National Rice Month is in full swing and there’s a full house on the newest episode of The Rice Stuff podcast.  Host Michael Klein and guest host Asiha Grigsby kick things off with a review of some other commemorative months celebrating everything from jazz to ice cream and more.

Then, USA Rice Vice President of Domestic Promotion Cameron Jacobs visits the studio to talk about how his team is spreading the U.S.-grown rice message this month – everything from influencer posts and newsletters to the exciting new U.S. jasmine campaign underway in key markets.

Then Michael checks in with Deborah Willenborg, USA Rice director of communications and marketing, to talk about the 10th annual NRM Video Scholarship Contest that also recently launched.

All this, plus Iowa Hawkeye football, the Flim Flam Man, bird feeding, and Stella Mae Carter.

New episodes of The Rice Stuff drop on the second and fourth Tuesday of every month and are available wherever you get your podcasts or at www.thericestuffpodcast.com.
