  • A feel-good podcast

    With her friendly interview style, Michelle Norris brings us back to our childhoods and makes us think about food and how our experiences with family meals have shaped us. Sentimental and kind, the podcast is a nice respite from the terrible stories we hear every day in the news. Michelle Norris is a warm and gentle voice reminding us that people and our connections to them are what life is about. She also has one of the best voices for radio that I have ever heard.
