Butter Pecan Podcast

In our first episode of May, Kelly chats with our friend Camille Pase about growing up as an immigrant from the Philippines, and the different cultures she was exposed to in California and Kentucky. We talk about the food she grew up eating, and the pride she feels when making food for her own family. And of course, we cover some racism and how it relates to food. Check out our blog for Camille's recipe for Bibinkang Malagkit.

With all of our new listeners and recent attention that we have received from the LEO, we decided to pause and do a Q&A episode. Darryl and Kelly discuss their friendship, food, and of course, ice cream. Lots of laughing and personal history, but we're leaving the racism behind for this one. Listen in to learn more about us, and hear two friends just being friends.

Because of the recent news of Coca-Cola being "canceled" after their statement regarding Georgia's new voting rollbacks, we decided to revisit episode 4 of our miniseries on Coke. The original recording had some flaws so if you needed to skip that episode, here is your chance to catchup. We revisit the discrimination case against Coke in 2000, their comments on BLM from 2020, and their statement regarding voting rights in Georgia just a few weeks ago.

Ready to listen to the goofiest re-telling of the history of polio and talk about pizza? How do those things even belong together? Listen to this bonus episode of a sleepy Darryl and a tired Kelly try to make sense of the racist science and policies that went along with the U.S. polio epidemic. We also talk about the delicious pizza Darryl made with bacon and pepperoni from Red Hog. Special guests include Spinelli the dog, and a mouse stalking Darryl's kitchen.

Part 2 of Fannie Lou Hamer is a wild one - it tells the story worthy of the big screen (as you will hear us discuss). In short, Fannie Lou Hamer became a star in the Civil Rights movement, scared the pants off President Johnson, and built a farm co-op that provides a model for what we continue to strive for today. Special thanks to DJ LoveAlways for letting us use his art for this episodes' cover.

In the first part of this series, we learn about FLH's childhood in Mississippi including the struggles, and joy, she experienced growing up on a plantation. We take a look at some of the history surrounding her early years, and the rebellious steps she began to take to subvert the systems that kept her suppressed. Join us as we gush over one of our favorite Civil Rights (and Equal Food Access) leaders in U.S. history.

In this bonus episode, we take the opportunity to talk to a local black business owner who also happens to be co-host of this podcast - Darryl Goodner. Goodner is part owner of the ice cream shop Louisville Cream in Louisville, KY. We discuss what this past year has been like and the changes that have affected his business - the good and the bad and what it all means and feels like. Bear with the audio, we had to record remotely during an ice storm.

From the year 1 AD to famed White House chef James Hemings to Condoleezza Rice, we track the long history of the dish mac n'cheese and how it became a staple in Black households. Darryl shares his own family's recipe and Kelly chews too loudly into the microphone.
