Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

6 Year Anniversary: Jahmal Cole - Revisited
Q: Of all the restaurants in Chicago, why Josephine's? Why is this your favorite?
He explains Josephine's as a neighborhood anchor—its food and its role as a gathering place for community, especially in the Chatham area, and how it embodies the city's soul and history.
Suleika Jaouad - Revisited
Q: Can you describe the role of journaling in your creative practice and any tips for listeners starting today?
Treat journaling as a creative practice with no right or wrong form; start with short prompts, doodles, or a to-do list and allow the process to lead you to deeper reflection and future work.
Suleika Jaouad - Revisited
Q: How did the shift to writing for the New York Times and creating a weekly column come about?
After an editor invited her to publish, she proposed a weekly column focused on real-life illness experiences rather than triumphant recovery narratives, and the pitch was welcomed, leading to a longer career in journalism.
Suleika Jaouad - Revisited
Q: What did journaling do for you during the worst of your illness, and why did you move from private journals to public writing?
Journaling helped combat isolation, gave structure and a sense of purpose, and gradually became a bridge to the world; moving public allowed her to connect with others facing similar struggles and to write from the trenches of illness.
Costas Spiliadis
Q: So this is wonderful. I'm going to begin by asking your favorite restaurant, not one of your own, but if you could take me somewhere that you love, where would you take me and why?
I would take you to a family home in Patras, Greece, where my mother's kitchen and our extended family created a powerful memory bank of culture, food, and community that shaped my lifelong commitment to Greek cuisine and hospitality.
