Liz Moody was an ex-pat writer living in London when her anxiety got so bad, she could barely leave her bed. She put her journalism skills to good use and began interviewing health experts, whose advice she started to report on and follow. Today, Liz writes about wellness for the likes of Glamour, Vogue, Goop, and Marie Claire; has published two cookbooks, Healthier Together and Glow Pops; and hosts a popular podcast, also called Healthier Together. Liz shares her upbeat and easy-to-follow tips, hacks, and recipes across multiple platforms, from her website to her Patreon, Instagram, and TikTok. The wellness pro joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her mission to make wellness less intimidating, her pandemic nomading, and her belief in the power of community. Liz and Kerry also answer questions from Liz’s new Healthier Together conversation-starter card deck.

It’s our number one show of 2021—our interview with Laurie Woolever, author of Bourdain: The Definitive Oral Biography, one of the year’s most anticipated books. Laurie joined host Kerry Diamond in July to talk about the book World Travel, a project they had started before his death that would share inside details on the places he had loved and visited over the years. 

As his longtime assistant (or lieutenant, as he called her) and his co-author, Laurie was enmeshed in the details of Anthony Bourdain’s life and work. When the beloved chef and journalist died in 2018, Laurie lost a boss, a friend, and a trusted collaborator.

Few people have impacted the Irish food scene like Darina Allen. She’s the co-founder of the world-famous Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork; she’s authored 21 cookbooks, including her latest, Darina Allen: How to Cook; and she’s a tireless champion of the slow food movement, farmers’ markets, and culinary education for children. Darina joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about how she fell in love with cooking, the real reason she became a culinary instructor, and how Marcella Hazan inadvertently influenced the Irish farmers’ market scene.

Today’s guest is Mary McCartney, the star of Mary McCartney Serves It Up, a charming series on Discovery+. On the show, Mary shares her favorite plant-based recipes and entertaining tips while cooking along with some guests you might recognize, such as Oprah, the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, and Mary’s dad, the one and only Paul McCartney. As Mary explains to host Kerry Diamond, the show is a bit of a transition for her. A well-known portrait photographer, Mary is used to being on the other side of the camera and has photographed everyone from Harry Styles to Taylor Swift to Queen Elizabeth. But food has played a central role in her life. Her mother, the late Linda McCartney, was an early proponent of vegetarianism, and Mary, along with her father and her sister, the fashion designer Stella McCartney, helped launch Meat Free Mondays more than a decade ago. Mary has also written several cookbooks, including At My Table: Vegetarian Feasts for Family and Friends.
