Thanks for checking out Mirepoix Podcast, I’m your host Joe Schupbach. I’m a writer, theatre-maker, and food enthusiast and I’m taking you on a journey through food, family, and culture via the lens of food practice and tradition. I’ve interviewed chefs, artists, dieticians, activists, and more! This preview is just a taste of what we’ve talked about so far! On Mirepoix, we dive deep into favorite foods, childhood memories, and contemporary food practices, all while thinking critically about how America monetizes, commodifies, and colonizes food and the people that make it. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll get hungry! Thank you for exploring Mirepoix and thank you to our house band Siblings for the use of their song, Jars. I invite you to subscribe to financially support Mirepoix directly on Anchor and to follow me on Instagram where you can receive behind-the-scenes content about this podcast and my own food practice. Till we feast again! Till we feast again!
