Belonging in Cedar Rapids (Part 1)
This is an audio drama podcast episode about the making of a podcast episode: "Cedar Rapids" is based on the oral history of a family living in that Eastern Iowa city. The family arrived there in 2006, after escaping civil strife in Burundi in the mid-1990s, and then spending eleven years in a Tanzanian refugee camp. The play explores what happens when a privileged, well-intentioned podcast host appropriates and manipulates his guests' narratives in order to, in his mind, make a positive impact. Though food insecurity may seem incidental in this story, the play intends to subtly illuminate connections between immigration and food insecurity. <span class="Apple-converted-space">Featuring Dan Froot, Natalie Camunas, Christopher Rivas, and Donna Simone Johnson.

Losing Los Angeles (Part 2): What's Hunger Got To Do With It?
Initially, we hadn't planned to create episodes that, like this one, unpack and contextualize our audio dramas. But as our creative process unfolded, we began to understand that context is vital in understanding how all the stories in this season fit together. How is it that we're talking about hunger, even when we're not talking explicitly about hunger? In this episode, you'll meet the real-life Beatrice and Gregorio. You'll hear how their story evolved into the audio drama you heard in Episode 1, and how food insecurity is woven deeply into the life of their family. <span class="Apple-converted-space">Written and narrated by Dan Froot, with Conching Matthews, Orinio Opinaldo, Frank Tamborello, and Hanna Garth. Music by Robert Een.</span> If you’re enjoying “Pang!”, you can help us out a lot simply by rating, reviewing or sharing it. <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
