Saturday, 17 January, 2026

This week on the Produce Pair Radio Show Historic Archives, we step back to January 18, 2003 - the week we added the Universal Talk Network to our list of stations. Dan the Produce Man and Guido the Gardener dig into Red D’Anjou pears, Lee mandarins, Texas citrus, sunchokes, early asparagus, and more. We also answer a great listener question: why were the Kinnow mandarin and the Mercott orange renamed, and what was happening in the fresh produce world at the time.It’s a snapshot of what was happening 23 years ago in fresh produce, straight from the mic so Tune in… and turn on!
