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.

Customer Reviews
Thoughtful and nuanced coverage!
Love a systems-wide approach to looking at food stories, and very thoughtful production and storytelling.
Beautiful and brilliant coverage
This podcast is a must-listen for anyone. We must rethink how we approach food, the way we eat it, prepare it, and grow it, and Point of Origin provides an insightful and thoughtful lens into a better food system.
Love Stephen’s work and this podcast
Great podcast with so many great conversations, education, and information. Thought provoking and original content about the point of origin of our food systems. Only critic would be some of the background music overwhelms the dialogue, especially on the episode “farming while black” while discussing with souls fire farms about reparations.
