This episode features Mark McDonough and Nathan Santichen of Ferm Foundations.

About 3 years ago these childhood friends began selling their kimchi at farmers markets. Nate grew up makingsaurkraut with his family for New Years. They would make about three hundred pounds and give it out to their friends and family. Nate developed a love of fermenting which sent him down a rabbit hole. He made hot sauce, soy sauce and even miso and chocolate. Finally he discovered kimchi. From there he took his expertise and sought to refine and put his stamp on this wonderful fermented creation. Mark provides his experience and knowledge spices and flavors to help add an intense complexity to this Korean icon. Nate and Mark's expressions are like nothing you've ever tried. Crunchy... Tangy... Tremendous! Try it on everything just eat it right out of the jar.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
