The Story of Yemen
from Vittles and Vitals · host Jacob Reed
This is the episode where Jay and Jacob go back home. And it may not be where you think. Jay spent ten of his formative young adult years in the country of Yemen, and since Jacob was only one-and-a-half years old at the time, he had to go along. It’s an important place for the Reed family, and it’s going through a rough time at the moment. They talk a little about the rich history of the country, how it has changed, and what’s going on now. They might even share a few favorite and/or odd memories from that decade of life in a kingdom (a sort of democratic one) far, far away. And the Vittles? Well, there was so much to say about the Vitals, that they didn’t get to the food this time, but never fear: they will have just as much to say about that in Part Two. Stay tuned!
