These people are guardians of the past: They explore kitchens, living rooms and attics, tracking down the recipes, stories and artifacts that tell us who we are and where we came from. Featuring collector David Ewing, folklorist Bradley Hanson and cookbook author Jennifer Justus.
This episode was produced by Emily Siner; engineered by Carl Peterson and Cameron Adkins; and edited by Mack Linebaugh, Blake Farmer and Anita Bugg. Music is by Blue Dot Sessions and by Dave Coleman and Justin Schipper.
