Knives Down is where butchers speak - and we listen. Hosted by Alana Empson in collaboration with the World Butchers' Challenge, this podcast goes beyond competition cuts and surface-level shop talk to explore the stories, ideas, and people shaping the future of butchery. From the block to the world stage, these are raw, reflective conversations with those who live and breathe the trade. Whether you're deep in it or looking in from the edge, this is your access to the full story - no trim, no filter.
