    Your Mama’s Kitchen

    “Tell me about your mama’s kitchen.” That’s the simple request which begins each episode of this Audible Original podcast from acclaimed journalist Michele Norris (NPR’s All Things Considered, The Washington Post) and Acast Productions.

    Every week, hear guests like Michelle Obama, Conan O’Brien, Ina Garten, José Andrés, John Legend, and more explore the complexities of family life and how their earliest culinary experiences helped shape their personal and professional lives—and of course, each guest brings a recipe for a favorite dish from their youth so you can taste a bit of their story.

    With a delicious buffet of actors, authors, chefs, musicians, and more, the rich conversations that flow from that simple, initial prompt reveal the histories, memories, and cultures that emerge from the kitchen—the heart of the home—where we are nourished physically and spiritually. Your Mama’s Kitchen is a podcast about cuisine and culture, ingredients and identities, and the meals and memories that make us who we are.

    The show’s closing song is 504 by The Soul Rebels.

    Editorial and web support from Melissa Bear and Say What Media. Our talent booker is Angela Peluso.fo

    Two Literary Stars, Two Kitchens: Marlon James & Nicholas Boggs Nov 10, 2026
    Show notes

    Booker Prize winner Marlon James and biographer Nicholas Boggs join Michele for their first-ever joint podcast interview. The two compare childhood kitchens: a Kingston coal stove and a D.C. family dinner table. Marlon explains why he took over the family cooking at age nine, while Nicholas explains why refusing to do the dishes was his safest act of rebellion; and both talk about writing as detective work, from Marlon’s novel The Disappearers to Nicholas’s Baldwin: A Love Story. Along the way: a very telling sprig of parsley and a life-size horse lamp. Plus, we learn how to make Marlon’s Jamaican sweet potato pudding.

    Cooking for the Crowd with Shawn Johnson East & Andrew East Nov 03, 2026
    Show notes

    Olympic gold medalist Shawn Johnson East and former NFL long snapper Andrew East grew up in very different kitchens. Today, they've built their Nashville home around a kitchen that serves up to 20 people on any given night. They take us through the weekly rhythms that keep their family close and explain why structure leaves more room for connection, not less. Shawn opens up about rebuilding her relationship with food after retiring from gymnastics, and the two reflect on leaving their sports behind and why no one should do it alone. Plus, we learn how to make Shawn’s mom’s pumpkin bread, a recipe Shawn insists you don't try to make healthier.
