Ep. 33: Reflections on Breaking Bread and Boundaries (A Recap of Sorts)

Hidden Apron Radio

After a year’s worth of writing, editing, reflecting, then editing some more, we’ve finally finished our 33rd episode, four years after we had first launched this podcast and a year after we had published our last episode. This is a long overdue reflection of sorts tying every one of our last 32 episodes. Across them all, we’ve gathered the underlying truths that not only relate to food but also the experience of being. This was the most challenging episode we’ve recorded not only because we wanted to give justice to the generous wisdom our guests have shared but because they themselves come from such varied backgrounds: farmers, tech startup founders, writers, educators, activists, and everyone in between.

In this episode, we go surface three broad themes that hold all our episodes, if not all of Hidden Apron, together:

- Food is never just Food.

- Our problems are real and difficult, but the fundamental solutions have always existed.

- It all starts with “Why” and the stories we tell ourselves.

We also include snippets of past episodes and they’re quite a trip back in time when many of our guests (and us!) were in different stages in our lives. You’ll find a full listing of past episodes in the show notes below if you’d like to take a deeper dive with a guest who’s whetted your appetite. Given that this is a season closer of sorts, we’d be remiss in not thanking everyone who’s been along for this side project of a side project. From being one of the thousands of downloads, to providing us with valuable feedback, to one of those who’ve shared your own stories as a guest, maraming maraming salamat!
