Why Our Food Stories? Our Food Stories Ep. 01

In episode one of Our Food Stories, I take you through the events and inspiration that led to the podcast. I also share what to expect and how you can be a contributor to the podcast. Have a listen below:

Happy New Year friends! I hope you had a great end to 2021 and are successfully easing your way into 2022. One of last year’s highlights was launching Our Food Stories podcast which you welcome and received with open arms by listening where ever you are. I am excited to continue sharing these food stories with you this year.

Aside from us sharing our food stories, one of the goals for the podcast is for it to initiate conversations about food and how factors such as climate, culture and politics affect this food and how we interact with it. The fact that these conversations are already starting to happen brings me so much joy! Click here to read reviews we have received so far.

To everyone that has shared (and plans to contribute) a beautiful and cherished food story, thank you for making Our Food Stories what it is now. To everyone that has downloaded, subscribed and left a review on the podcast, you are appreciated.
