Description

Episode 1: 
Why A Podcast? Hispanic Heritage Month & Meet The Deli - Interviews with Adriana the Deli Manager + Cheese Chat with Lynda & Nancy the Meat and Cheese Assistants. 
Welcome Introduction:
Hello and welcome to our first ever episode of Hotdish, the Just Food Co-op podcast. I’m Vicki, your host and I am very excited to bring you the latests news from your friendly neighborhood co-op.
The purpose of this podcast is to keep the conversation going beyond the walls of our building. Just Food Co-op aims to be a meeting place for community and friends, where our stories can be heard and shared. Where there is an open line of communication about your food, where that food comes from, and how it is being used to nourish our town and its members.  
Announcements: This is our first ever Just Food Co-op Podcast. This is a podcast in progress, and the format of the podcast will adjust to meet the needs of a particular week or subject area. Generally we are aiming for a 10-15 minute podcast that catches you up on what is happening at the store. We will also include stories from the community, vendors, farmers, and employees. There will be discussions with board members and  the management team of the store. But, since we’re called Hotish, we also want to get the stories behind what’s happening as well as the story behind the food we’re selling.
Segment 1 - Story - Why a podcast? The story of this podcast. (Vicki)
I started at Just Food Co-op just under a year ago. At that time I was hired as the Social Media & Creative Coordinator. This meant that I was responsible for the online presence and voice of the co-op. As I was working with the concept of what the co-op sounded like, I started thinking about all of the voices I hear inside the store on a day-to-day basis. The buyers ordering over the phone, the deli department describing a use for a gourmet cheese, or a produce stocker raving about the new type of mango we now have in stock.
These are the voices and the conversations that get me excited to try new foods and use new ingredients. What I wanted to do is capture these conversations and get them out to the community. If you are a frequent shopper here, you know how knowledgeable our staff is and how helpful they are when you’re looking for something. What you don’t often get to hear is how these products came to be in the store. How were they chosen?
The other conversations that no one gets to hear are the ones between our buyers and our vendors and farmers. When the orchardist is excited about a new apple - when the local farmer is getting ready to harvest. These are the exchanges I hope to bring to you through this podcast.
I’ll also be discussing different cooperative tenants and principals in attempt to demystify what our co-op does and what we stand for.  
So, tell me about what’s on your plate.
