OL-007 Besha Rodell Reads, "The Pub, the Farm, and the Forest — A Return to Narnia"
Release Date: 04/17/2020
GBH Out Loud
What do love and chicken have to do with one another? You might not think a lot, but as Mark illustrates, what we love most about food—making new things, tweaking a recipe, making a small change and seeing new results—doesn’t always apply to the way we interact with others. The analogies and ties we find to our personal lives and the world around us are especially prescient in this piece, and in the end, you’ll probably be asking the same question Mark poses: “Jesus man, who hurt you?”

Our House Culture series goes beyond beer—it’s a place where we can share stories of critical engagement, and ask readers to look closely at the parts of life that make it worth drinking. In one of our most recent House Culture pieces, we asked Besha, who is a food and culture writer (she currently works for the New York Times reporting on the dining scene in Australia) to write a piece for us. As she shares, sometimes the stories closest to us—the ones about our very identity and the way we interact with the world—are the most challenging, and rewarding, to write.
Before Besha starts reading, you’ll hear her share how this beautiful essay came together—follow along as she reads by checking out her article at GoodBeerHunting.com.
