At My Kitchen Table
Welcome to At My Kitchen Table, a conversational, interview-y podcast where I have a good yap with a guest!
When I was growing up, the kitchen table was the conversation center in a lot of homes. At my grandparents' house, friends and family alike were welcomed with connection as much as with drinks and food. In my parents' house, that tradition continued as my siblings and I would post up and chat with my mom as she cooked or baked or tried to read a book (with much exasperation as we refused to shut up). I found cozy similarity at my friends' homes with their parents, too.
Keeping with tradition, I create a space for everyone who visits my table, where we get to share a little bit of our journeys together - roses, thorns, and stems.

Guest: Shannon Reichel
Shannon Reichel loses her podcast virginity at my kitchen table this week! Our chat began with her recounting her experiences raising a biracial child. But because we veered off-topic, she comments on ideology versus action, family dynamics, and the impact of secrets. Shannon ends up spilling a few drops of tea towards the end of our time as we veer down the family secret path!
Intro riff by Dale Lytle (concert husband).
