As we deal with an unprecedented disruption from a global pandemic, eternal questions about the meaning of life and death come into focus.

Claudette Zepeda is a Mexican and American star chef who's lived at the border of two countries, two food traditions, two ways of life. Instead of creating a bridge between all of her experiences, Zepeda created a parachute. Jumping into new situations, packing up what she learned, and bringing them along on her adventures. She was a mother at 18, which helped her become a great leader and listener in the kitchen. She worked in Italian and French restaurants, and uses those techniques in her cooking today. Check out episode 128 to hear about her childhood challenges with authority, feast or famine finances, and love of the women who are the heart of Mexican food.Want to stay up to date on the latest Speaking Broadly episodes?

One of the best-respected food stylists in the country, Susan Spungen doles out advice for gorgeous meals to make from your freezer, pantry, farmers' market and more on episode 127 of Speaking Broadly. Author of the recently published Open Kitchen, Spungen also describes her approach to her career: "When you're driving, you can see the road ahead of you for a little bit, and then you can't really see it anymore. Well, I never really tried having a five year plan, but I just tried to see that bit of road in front of me." It's a strategy that has been effective for her: in the 90s she landed a position at Martha Stewart Living where she stayed for 12 years, as well as a job of food stylist for Hollywood movies including Nora Ephron's Julie & Julia. Spungen makes a great case for only planning life bit by bit. Speaking Broadly is powered by Simplecast
