Features: Home Kitchens and Sunny Memories

Issue 19: July 2023 Our first feature comes from the Lecker podcast by Lucy Dearlove (@dearlucy on Twitter), a series about how food shapes our lives in all sorts of ways. In this segment, you’ll hear a clip from the first installment of her 2021 ‘Kitchens’ series where she speaks with Professor Deborah Sugg Ryan, a design historian to explore what came before the fitted kitchen, and how the concept of the home kitchen itself shape-shifted drastically over the 20th century.The second feature is an ode to the sunny season as Julia Joubert collects some of our listener’s favourite summer memories and creates a dreamy audio exploration into some of their most treasured moments. Our theme music is from Lucas Carey, with audio from Epidemic Sound. Cover art by Sian Amber Fletcher. This episode is brought to you by Bear Radio.
