Three Food Memories
The things you find out when you ask people about their food memories can be soulful, spicy, sensational, sour, and sublime. Often you'll discover something you never knew about the person you asked - and this is what the Three Food Memories podcast is about, how every food memory is linked to a moment in time.
Three Food Memories is hosted by Savva Savas, dad of twin boys, entrepreneur, caterer, and creator. In each episode Savva chats with a guest who shares three food memories and a social cause close to their heart, revealing far more about themselves than what they’ve tasted.
Be prepared for some hilarious and otherwise never-heard-before stories, and if you love listening - please tell your friends (and like, subscribe, and follow for all the goodness!)
Three Food Memories
Simon Ostrovsky, PBS Special Correspondent
"I was blindfolded the whole time, and I could hear the screams of other people they were torturing." - Simon Ostrovsky
In this episode of Three Food Memories, Savva sits down with Emmy Award–winning journalist Simon Ostrovsky, who's not only investigated some of the world’s toughest stories — he’s also been investigated himself. Read: abducted and tortured.
Despite the intensity of his work, he still keeps reporting with his thoughtful demeanor and dry wit.
On Simon's menu is: Burek, homemade pasta sauce, and Frito [pron: FREE-doh] Pie alongside a side of rookie reporting amongst Putin's early years, what's the real deal with the war on Ukraine, and the joy of suddenly being able to cook for other people.
Simon's social cause is Ukraine-based organisation, Saint Javelin, who manufacture high-quality clothing and gear in Ukraine, providing jobs, and donating proceeds to humanitarian and Ukrainian military aid efforts.
