Point of Origin

Point of Origin is about the world of food, worldwide. Each week we travel to different countries exploring culture through food, examining its past and present, and what it teaches us about who we are and how we came to be. Join Whetstone Magazine co-founder host Stephen Satterfield as he connects with those most immersed in defining and preserving global foodways. Along the way we’re drinking natural wine in Australia, sipping tea — Taiwanese Oolong and Sri Lankan Ceylon — and eating frejon, a Nigerian staple with Brazilian origins. The power of food is that it has a story to tell. Point of Origin is a podcast that enthusiastically uplifts the voices of women and people of color. We believe that this diversity isn’t just noteworthy but part of what makes our work essential and distinguished. When the gatekeepers are diverse, so too are the stories, its tellers and their experiences.

Throughly enjoying the podcast can’t wait for new episodes.
Awesome but audio level too low
04/11/2020
Very good podcast and very important conversation here about food, culture and Indigeneity ✊🏾✊🏾. Audio level is too low, and not consistent, so when the advert with ‘normal’ audio level plays it hurts my ears.
Thoughtful and mind opening interviews
13/06/2020
that complement Whetstone magazine perfectly. Fascinating interviews that gracefully point out just how much food is political and also bound up with identity. Perfect listening for when you want to slow down and learn something new. Stephen is an excellent interviewer who gives the talented guests room to shine and make their points.
My favourite podcast

Absolutely enlightening, well researched with fascinating guests shining a light on food, culture, and identity. Stephen asks probing questions but never resorts to jargon, so it’s accessible for all. The epitome of “food for thought”
Fantastic

A masterclass in how to do a podcast, engaging, researched and diverse. But most importantly, this is what food media should be - and incredible range of topics with excellent storytelling.
Brilliant podcast
