In this two-voice podcast, Sarah reflects on how certain foods become markers of home and so are circulated across continents while Wyatt explores how our appetites connect us to and conflict with the larger ecosystems and environments we belong to. From rooftop pickling in Kathmandu to the industrialized cornfields of the American Midwest, their stories blend tradition and transformation.
