Details

White on Rice is a podcast exploring the links between food, culture, and community. Over many years of friendship, Yia Vang and David Crabb have seen how food sparks lively conversation and warm community, and now they’re recording these conversations. Each week, they’ll eat some food and talk about culture with each other and with guests. You’re invited to listen in on these conversations, and share your thoughts and experiences as well. We believe that whenever people gather around good food, conversation and understanding follows. Food and community are inseparably linked—like white on rice.
