Sonder & Salt

Arts EN ↓ 127 episodes

A weekly food podcast about eating and cooking (but mainly eating) hosted by Malaika Malz & Harleigh Reid. Sonder is the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own despite personal lack of awareness of it. Salt is an irreplaceable kitchen essential with an entirely unfair health reputation. Together 'Sonder & Salt' combines the ideas of recognising the depth and complexity of individual lives and the essence of seasoning and enhancing experiences. Serving up fresh food-filled episodes every Monday.
