Welcome to Curious Broadcast. I am privileged that my work as a documentary maker provides a space for me to be creative, to craft audio stories. Each story I tell has been gifted from another. The people I have met through my documentaries have shared with me their passions, knowledge, insights and intellect. Each time I have made a documentary, I have also been given another story, a small nugget that has got me curious. The older I get, the more I believe, that staying curious is the best things we can do for our minds, so thank you for all those that have allowed me to stay curious.

In this documentary, producer Patricia Baker of Curious Broadcast explores how food connects cultures, communities, and generations in Melting Pot.
Melting Pot is a story about food, recipes passed down through generations, dishes that remind us of home and family.
From Ukraine and Moldova to Nigeria, Lebanon, the Liberties of Dublin, and Zimbabwe, these are foods that carry memory. They hold the flavours of culture and the histories of the people who cook them.
These are not restaurant recipes. They are family recipes: meals cooked with love, carrying memory, tradition, and identity. They are everyday meals. Comfort food. Stories you can taste.
Featuring contributors from across Ireland’s diverse communities, Melting Pot explores how food preserves culture, creates connection, and helps people feel at home, wherever they are in the world.
Melting Pot is a Curious Broadcast production, funded by Coimisiún na Meán through the Television Licence Fee.
First Broadcast: Newstalk, Saturday 30th May at 21:00 and again on Sunday 31st May at 07:00
The Melting Pot Cookbook, featuring recipes from the documentary, is available to download free from www.biazine.com/blog/melting-pot-zine (http://www.biazine.com/blog/melting-pot-zine)
