We Started a Festival from Behind Our Desks

Murissa Maurice hosts Foodie Town Podcast, a series built on conversations with people whose passion for food extends far beyond the kitchen. Each episode sits down with a different foodie who is actively shaping taste and community, whether through a local project, a cultural initiative, or a digital platform. You’ll hear from bakers reviving historic grains in their neighborhoods, fermenters teaching ancient techniques online, and travelers documenting the stories behind street food stalls. These discussions naturally weave through the categories that food touches-society, arts, culture, and place-revealing how what we eat connects us. The podcast offers a genuine look at the drive behind these creators, focusing on the tangible impact of their work. Listening feels like pulling up a chair at a lively table where the talk is as nourishing as the meal. It’s for anyone curious about the people building community around food, one cool idea at a time. Find more from Murissa Maurice and the show through the Foodie Town substack.
