Service: Veteran Stories of Hunger & War
In the war and food podcast Service: Veteran Stores of Hunger and War, veterans take us from their hometowns to the frontlines and back again in sound-immersive first-person storytelling narratives.
A co-production with iHeartMedia from 2019-the Covid Collapse of 2020, we are currently looking for collaboration to produce our next Korean War season. Interested? email Jacqueline@WordsFoodArt.com

“So… What Did World War II Change, Really?”
How did our World War 2 veterans change history forever? And what foods came out of World War II that we still eat today? Historians Myke Cole and Anastacia Marx de Salcedo join our WW2 veterans’ voices to connect some dots.
“Dad, I Can't Talk About It."
In this very special two-part episode, we explore how veterans from WW2 through today seek healing after their traumatic wartime experiences. And how civilians are using food to help. (Free history lesson plans for this episode!)
“Why Am I Alive?”
How did the Coast Guard take fire on D-Day and in the Pacific? Gunner’s Mate Frank Devita takes us from the harrowing shores of Normandy into kamikaze attacks near Japan, sharing mischievous stories of how he fed himself fully along the way.
