Hello everyone, It's me we Stone, co founder and Point of Origin host Stephen Saderfield. It's been a few months since our last podcast, and the world we left behind is so so much different than the one we are now in. But then again, with more sitting and reading and contemplation, we see plainly the ways in which our most distressed communities have always been most closely bound to struggles for justice, land, and dignity. There is much to
be garnered in understanding the past. We believe this so fiercely that we have dedicated our work to this precise framework, centering concepts like origin, anthropology, and indigenousity. We considered our role in this moment of social uprisings and the ways in which it related to our work. We thought of maybe doing an entire season through the lens of COVID nineteen or the immense impact of the Black Lives Matter mobilization.
But as we started to prepare for this season, what became clear is that the thing we do best is also the thing that is most helpful in this moment, and that thing is absorbing and discussing food culture from the global and historical. We cannot comment intelligently on food or social uprisings or pandemics or anything in between without a perspective that is rooted in the international, intergenerational and intersectional.
So our plan for this season is the same as the first two, which is to explore the world of food worldwide, and in doing that, with the context we provide and the people we learn from, help us understand the parts of us that are cyclical and collective and how we can learn from previous struggles to meet this
moment with unprecedented education and empathy. And with that, I'd like to welcome you to Point of Origin Season three, where we will take you to Palestine to learn about the oldest spirit in the world, Iraq, and then to West Africa to learn about Fulani foodways. We head to Mexico to learn about a fight for biodiverse avocados, and wine maker Victoria Torres embraces the challenges and the ter
war of Spain's Canary Islands. That is just a small preview of what's in store, So get ready for season three by beinging the first two seasons of Point of Origin.
