Podcast

Rhiannon Giddens returns to SHEROES exactly three years since host, producer, and creator Carmel Holt launched the show as a syndicated radio hour for public radio (November 17, 2020) with her as its very first featured interview guest. As SHEROES Radio celebrates its third anniversary, Carmel welcomes the multi-Grammy and Pulitzer Prize winning singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist, composer, author, and activist Rhiannon Giddens back to discuss her third solo outing You're The One, a week following its Grammy nominations for Best Americana Album and a second for Best American Roots Performance for a song from that album, making her a 10-time Grammy nominee. In this wide-ranging conversation, Rhiannon reflects on the non-linear path taken from opera student at Oberlin to becoming a Pulitzer Prize-winning opera composer, what all the accolades and awards mean to her, and the importance of being a good ancestor in all she does.

How many fucks do you have left to give today?

Nate, Dave, DEM, and guest Fat Tony talk about Outkast's Aquemini

Today on the show we welcome Ethan Frisch and Ori Zohar, the cofounders of Burlap & Barrel, a very well-regarded spice company that might just play a starring role in your kitchen. We wanted to have these guys in to talk about the early days of their company and how both left successful careers in restaurant cooking and advertising to launch it. We also find out about their meticulous approach to sourcing Guatemalan cardamom and Turkish black Urfa chili, as well as digging into more spices they think we should be cooking with. We hope you enjoy this conversation. Also on the show, Brad Metzger discusses some of the big themes that arose during the latest LA Chef Conference. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?
