On today’s THE FOOD SEEN, we’re affected by the always -nspired Emilie Baltz, a multi-disciplinary French-American artist, who’s wild and widely ranging body of work examines how we interact with food on a cultural level. Recently her L.O.V.E. FOODBOOK, which explores our relationship between food and emotion, won the prestigious Best First Cookbook award at the Festival du Livre Culinaire in Paris. Now she readies herself for a summer in France teaching food design through SVA. You ask, “what is food design?“ Well, so does Emilie- all the time! Listen in to learn how to begin experiencing it yourself. Thanks to our sponsor, S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. Thanks to Cookies for the theme music.

"As designers, the food space is an important space to address... Within that moment you're affecting your nutrition and caloric intake, but also your emotions, politics, economics, etc." [7:00]

"We are being stimulated not by the cherry or the oyster, but it's a full body experience. And some of that might have to do with the physical aspects of the foods, but it's mostly the narrative behind them." [22:10]

"Who is in charge of food design? Marketers? Salespeople? These are things that we put in our bodies!" [32:00]

Freelance Whales come back to Snacky Tunes and play some of their new songs live in the studio! Tune in to hear the band talk live sound troubles, favorite tour mates, and their sophomore record! This program has been brought to you by Tekserve.

"It's hard for people in this community who love food to identify with others who look at food as a potential threat." [8:45] -- Adam Kolesar on Snacky Tunes

"It's so inspiring when you surround yourself with great bands. Sometimes their influence comes in passively." [46:00] -- Freelance Whales on Snacky Tunes

On this episode of Burning Down the House, Curtis B. Wayne is joined in the studio by Jen Tullock: actor and co-host of Heritage Radio Network's The Morning After. Tune in to hear discussions regarding the intersection of art and architecture, and how both art forms express a narrative. Jen recalls her childhood, and what constitutes the notion of a home. Later, Curtis and Jen discuss how upbringing reflects one's attitude towards art. Do artists from suburbs react against their experiences in their work? Or is their art informed by their life? Hear some old clips of John Hejduk discussing acts of architecture and what makes built objects works of architecture. Hear about how set design engages and heightens theatrical works, especially when including biophilic elements. This episode has been brought to you by Hearst Ranch.

"Architecture should tell a story about its creation." [1:00] -- Curtis B. Wayne on Burning Down the House

"Context: it's one more of the through-lines that connects what you and I do." [57:20] -- Jen Tullock on Burning Down the House
