Ep. 168: Coming Home. A Conversation with Author Jill Damatac
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Ben & Jamesa Podcast, we’re joined by author Jill Damatac, whose book Dirty Kitchen beautifully examines home through the lens of food, identity, and lived experience—and was just nominated today for the prestigious James Beard Award.
Together we explore the deeply personal and ever-evolving idea of “home.” Is it a physical place, a feeling, or something we carry within us? Through thoughtful conversation, we unpack how home is shaped by memory, migration, family history, and the world around us. Along the way, we reflect on how our understanding of home shifts over time, and what it means to come back home and also to ourselves.
