Pilot: Food, family, and where we belong

In the pilot episode, you get to meet the pilot, i.e. me! I introduce myself, tell you a little about my own experiences as a migrant and nomad, what led to me wanting to create this podcast and what I hope we can all learn from each other’s stories. As a bonus, you get to meet my family and listen to them answer the When Home is a Foreign Word Questionnaire, which is a real treat.
