Your Mama’s Kitchen

“Tell me about your mama's kitchen.” That’s the simple request which begins each episode of this Audible Original podcast from acclaimed journalist Michele Norris (NPR’s All Things Considered, The Washington Post) and Higher Ground, Barack and Michelle Obama's media company. Every week, hear guests like Michelle Obama, Conan O'Brien, Ina Garten, José Andrés, John Legend, and more explore the complexities of family life and how their earliest culinary experiences helped shape their personal and professional lives—and of course, each guest brings a recipe for a favorite dish from their youth so you can taste a bit of their story. With a delicious buffet of actors, authors, chefs, musicians, and more, the rich conversations that flow from that simple, initial prompt reveal the histories, memories, and cultures that emerge from the kitchen—the heart of the home—where we are nourished physically and spiritually. Your Mama’s Kitchen is a podcast about cuisine and culture, ingredients and identities, and the meals and memories that make us who we are. Please Note: This is now the home of Your Mama’s Kitchen hosted by Michele Norris. To listen to Michelle Obama: The Light, search for it wherever you listen. Hosted on Acast.

Listened to the episode with Michelle Obama as I walked to the Hands Off rally. Same kitchen and activities (S&H Green Stamps!) but instead of straightening already stick straight hair I was getting a Toni Home Permanent. Horrible smell and results. Thanks for the memories.
Amazing

Ironically enough my mama introduced me to this pod cast. This isn’t about cooking and recipes. It’s about people and family. Connection and tradition. It’s worth your time!
EVERY episode!!!!

Michele is soooo THOUGHTFUL in her interviewing style and the care she uses when speaking to each person. I LOVE how she closes each episode too!!!! So glad I found this podcast!!!

A fantastic show. Lots of layers peeled away from Wendell. You can see the importance and impact a family life can have that shapes us as adults. I cried, laughed, and got goosebumps listening to this. Thanks John Hood Bryant, AR
