From Other People’s Pockets: Katherine’s Journey from Food Writer to Business Owner
In this special episode, I’m sharing a conversation I had on a new podcast, Other People’s Pockets. On Other People’s Pockets, journalist Maya Lau asks people from all walks of life to get radically transparent about their personal finances in order to learn more about who we are and level the financial playing field along the way. Maya and I chatted about eating my way through L.A and what it means for my finances, along with how I went from food writing to business ownership.

Customer Reviews
A great food podcast
Smart Mouth has been a wonderful look into the history of food and the future of recipes. Interviews are quick witted and the historical details are top notch (particularly the episde about Toll House cookies). If you live in the LA area, Katherine is a great follow to let you know the best places to eat each weekend. As the show has progressed, however, it has slowly started to morph into "here's why your favorite food is actually problematic/racist." In the recent episode about hotdogs, it only took three minutes to digress into a discussion about how much they hate the police.
Nerdy and awesome
Loving this podcast. The host, Katherine, is funny and passionate. I never thought I would care about highly specific morsels of food history but here we are. It’s also very much not just about food, though. This show has a POV and a personality and I have laughed out loud several times. Recommend!
Fun listen!
Smart Mouth has me laughing out loud and learning something new every episode - which is a rare combo! Big fan of Katherine and the guests that she has on. Everyone brings such a unique perspective.
