Welcome to Let’s Talk About Food Podcast

Hi, I’m Louisa Kasdon, founder of Let’s Talk About Food, and your host as we introduce our first set of Let’s Talk About Food podcasts, a podcast series devoted to first-person storytelling where food plays a pivotal—if not a starring role. Why are we doing this?

Because Everyone has a Food Story.

Food is at the heart of human connection, at the center of love, of ritual, of need and want, and most of all, foods creates community. And community is what we crave.

Our stories and our storytellers are funny, soulful, smart—and just waiting for you to listen and love them. (Wait, does that sound like an invitation to a pet adoption service?) Each story presents a deeply personal moment that is both unique and universal, reminding us that food goes to the core of all of us.

About Our Stories

  • They are told Moth-style––in first-person: What I saw, what I remember, what I felt––and sometime how it tasted.

  • The best stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. They rarely exceed 10 minutes. Most are 5-6 minutes, (which is a surprisingly long time to talk uninterrupted!)

  • We will work with you in advance, (a little), and also do a light edit to prepare stories for the show. We think when you listen to the attached episodes, you’ll agree that our speakers sound great.

  • Your story could be about the last year of dealing with food and the Pandemic. How it is has affected your personal and professional life. How you cooked. How you coped, what you saw, how you feel about your connection to food and the public well-being.

  • Or, it could be something else entirely. A memory from your childhood table. A wonderful or terrible meal. Cooking with your grandmother. Or working the line in a restaurant or queuing up at a food bank.
