Where We Meet is a podcast about the intersections in our lives. It’s about the crossroads where we meet culture, culture meets food, food meets history, history meets politics, hot takes meets injustice, random stories meet local activists and so on. Basically, we grab onto the threads of the world around us…and pull.
In each episode, our team will explore a bit of culture - local or otherwise - and provide you some background on its histories and what’s going on in the world!
Shownotes:
04:47 - This is an incorrect usage of the term Mesoamerica (which only refers to a historical region that is now much of modern Mexico and Central America). What Cameron is referring to is the Americas at large.
08:41 - The exact statistics vary (outside of the US, the percentage of single origin bars from West Africa is higher), but the general point stands
10:50 - “Invisible West Africa: The Politics of Single Origin Chocolate (https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1525/gfc.2013.13.3.22)” by Kristy Leissle
19:45 - “Exploiting West Africa’s Children: trafficking, slavery and uneven development” by Kate Manzo

Ep 1 - Talking about Lunar New Year
Shownotes:
03:44 - Here’s a quick article (https://sciencing.com/difference-between-lunar-calendar-solar-calendar-22648.html) on the difference between the Lunar and Solar calendar.
05:01 - Some notes on the Hoa Dao flower (http://www.vietnam-tourism.com/en/index.php/about/items/2085).
05:01 - Notes from Chau Anh’s research: Hoa dao is one of the most popular flowers used for Tet, and it’s believed to bring happiness, peace, wealth, and health. Some others include hoa mai, hoa lan, and more. (Since Tet is such a huge holiday in Vietnam, the days leading up to it are probably some of the most wonderful you’ll witness, because you always see people carrying these flowers or moving these flowers around the streets in preparation. Very floral scenes.)
