Podcast: The Food Chain
Published On: Thu Feb 15 2024
Description: What do you and your family chat about at dinner? We eavesdrop on conversations over food all over the world, hearing about poetry, politics, what is on TV and how Morag’s leg is recovering. Whether you gossip or have more philosophical debates find out how integral good communication is while we are eating, often marking the only point in the day or week when a family gathers together. We learn why a matchmaker thinks a dinner date might not be such a good idea after all if you want the conversation to flow. And, psychotherapist Philippa Perry tells us how to keep the peace with the family over Sunday lunch. Presenter: Ruth Alexander Producer: Hannah Bewley and Rumella Dasgupta If you would like to get in touch with the show, please email: thefoodchain@bbc.co.uk (Image: Family and friends sit around the dinner table.
