This week on Code Switch, we talk to POC food writers about the influence, the (gate-kept) world of food media and how far the industry still has to go... Must listen 🎧 npr.org/2023/03/06/116131141…

Huge thank you to these wonderful contemporary food writers for sitting down with our team to talk all things food culture 🥘✍️🏾 @vondiaz @assil_reem @priyakrishna @senatormayukh

🚨🔊NEW EP ALERT! 🔊🚨 What can Bad Bunny tell us about anti-colonial politics in Puerto Rico? In this week's ep, we sit down with a college professor whose new course aims to tackle that very question. n.pr/3ZLWvAs

On her first ep, Lori's digging into the social dynamics of names and why people end up changing them - like all 3 of our hosts! Parker, Gene and Lori go by names that are different from their legal names... They share why this week on the pod. Who else has a name change story?

Before she was born, Lori's mom had a nickname ready for her. Her legal name would be Laura, but she would go by Lori. The story behind why begins a decade before Lori was born, when her mother first immigrated to the U.S. as a kid and had to make a difficult decision.

Back in 2020, we collaborated with @deathsexmoney to feature your stories about when race and racism impacted your friendships. This week, head to their Death, Sex & Money feed for an update from those same listeners about race in their friendships since: bit.ly/3V4f27I

@mazjobrani explains how leaning into racial stereotypes in comedy can actually help break them.

@brian_bahe says there’s a time and place for land acknowledgements, and maybe a storefront...is not that place.

@aparnapkin is an expert at mining her most cringeworthy moments to speak truth to laughter. She talks racial typecasting in acting class.
