WEBVTT - Season 3 arrives September 23

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Hello everyone, It's me we Stone, co founder and Point

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>of Origin host Stephen Saderfield. It's been a few months

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.200
<v Speaker 1>since our last podcast, and the world we left behind

0:00:11.520 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 1>is so so much different than the one we are

0:00:14.760 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>now in. But then again, with more sitting and reading

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and contemplation, we see plainly the ways in which our

0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>most distressed communities have always been most closely bound to

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:33.479
<v Speaker 1>struggles for justice, land, and dignity. There is much to

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.599
<v Speaker 1>be garnered in understanding the past. We believe this so

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>fiercely that we have dedicated our work to this precise framework,

0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:48.239
<v Speaker 1>centering concepts like origin, anthropology, and indigenousity. We considered our

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>role in this moment of social uprisings and the ways

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:54.320
<v Speaker 1>in which it related to our work. We thought of

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe doing an entire season through the lens of COVID

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>nineteen or the immense impact of the Black Lives Matter mobilization.

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>But as we started to prepare for this season, what

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.399
<v Speaker 1>became clear is that the thing we do best is

0:01:11.480 --> 0:01:14.560
<v Speaker 1>also the thing that is most helpful in this moment,

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and that thing is absorbing and discussing food culture from

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 1>the global and historical. We cannot comment intelligently on food

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>or social uprisings or pandemics or anything in between without

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:38.039
<v Speaker 1>a perspective that is rooted in the international, intergenerational and intersectional.

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>So our plan for this season is the same as

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>the first two, which is to explore the world of

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>food worldwide, and in doing that, with the context we

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>provide and the people we learn from, help us understand

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the parts of us that are cyclical and collective and

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>how we can learn from previous struggles to meet this

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>moment with unprecedented education and empathy. And with that, I'd

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>like to welcome you to Point of Origin Season three,

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 1>where we will take you to Palestine to learn about

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the oldest spirit in the world, Iraq, and then to

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>West Africa to learn about Fulani foodways. We head to

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Mexico to learn about a fight for biodiverse avocados, and

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.200
<v Speaker 1>wine maker Victoria Torres embraces the challenges and the ter

0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>war of Spain's Canary Islands. That is just a small

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>preview of what's in store, So get ready for season
