    Hurdling Language Barriers.

    Hurdling Language Barriers.

    "I sometimes wonder what would have happened had my father not insisted on teaching me to read and write in Korean. What would have happened if I hadn't gone vegan, started The Korean Vegan, begun peeling back the layers of my family's history?
     
    Where would I be if I'd kept those stories to myself?
     
    I rattle the chain between my hands. Let the weight of the horseshoes settle against my palms."
     
    New York Times best-selling author and James Beard Award-winner, Joanne Molinaro, celebrates her mom, Sunny, on the occasion of her 75th birthday, and reflects on language barriers and bridges.

Love this!

I love your podcasts! So real and so relatable!! Totally feeling imposter syndrome at the moment so this definitely hits the mark! I listened to this episode before, but am listening again now. I really hope you have more episodes again soon!

First time listener

I watch you on Facebook all the time. Today I finally started to follow your podcast. The first episode I listened too was about cultivated meat. I wish more hard questions were asked but it was still a great episode. Please consider interviewing Miyoko Schinner. She is a very well known vegan who has spoken out against cultivated meat. She can provide more info and a present a different side of the industry I feel is very hidden to many vegans.
