Welcome to the final episode of Season four. If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll know that ‘season’ is a loose word. Season one lasted about 5 years… Since then we’ve tidied things up around here with eight episodes per season. And here we are, at number eight.
There’s never been a theme to the seasons, but looking back over season four, I see a thru-line connecting the episodes. The theme is Nova Scotia - the place where I produce these episodes, the place where I live.
Above is an image of the Halifax Central Library where I record The Food Podcast. It’s a bright, white space with stairs, bridges and atriums connecting the five stories. On the second floor is a sound studio that’s open to the public. It has become my room of one’s own, my quiet space, uninterrupted and sound proofed from the outside world, just two blocks from my house.
In episode one of the season - Balancing in the Middle- I promised to look back at where we began, where we’ve ended, and what we’ve learned in between. So here I am at the library, in a red room, feet on the floor, headphones on, balancing in the middle, looking back over the season.
Thanks for exploring life through the lens of food with me. It means so much.
I’ll back back with Season 5. Take care in the meantime,
x Lindsay
PS - here’s a taste of the season -
