Each episode covers a new subject; taking a close look at one item, or ingredient, that might be found at the lunch table. Listeners are invited to participate, sharing jokes on-air or following along with in-episode quizzes and games. Hosted by Harry Rosenblum and Hannah Fordin, the show looks at food through the lens of history, culture, and play to celebrate and learn about the people and places that feed us.Is boredom a superpower? Do you have to be camping to make a campfire? How do you stay connected with friends when you’re away from school? On this episode of Time For Lunch, we’re going to explore all these questions and more as we ask our friends how to make the most of staying home. If you’d like to hear your voice on the show, ask a grownup to help you record yourself using the voice memo app on an iphone and email your question
