Hold on to your butts! Your pork butts that is. This episode, guest Brian Tom brings us his family’s recipe for Kalua Pig and we’re very excited about it. For Brian’s family, this seemingly easy, low maintenance recipe became a family affair. We talk about roles in the kitchen, letting kids be leaders of their domain, and connections to Hawaii but from far away Massachusetts. 

We talk about making art vs being an artist, reassessing identities in new spaces and new environments, and the generational divide between recent children’s literature on diversity acceptance and Tikki Tikki Tembo–and of course a mention of the incomparable Sabrina Wu. 

Plus, Brian gets an award for being a certain kind of milestone guest and we get another new perspective on leftovers.
