Introducing Schmaltzy: Welcome to Schmaltzy, our new podcast about storytelling, food and everything in between. For the past three years, the Jewish Food Society has produced “Schmaltzy,” a live storytelling event where celebrity chefs, grandmas, tech entrepreneurs and culinary mavens told personal stories about when food, family and tradition converged in their lives. There were tears, there were laughs, there was a lot of nostalgia, and now we’re sharing Schmaltzy with you. Pop in your headphones for a front row seat to hear the original live stories from the stage — then we’ll go behind the tales with the storytellers for more.

Edna O’Brien: Love, Loss and Literature: Edna O'Brien's first novel, "The Country Girls," was banned in Ireland, and burned in her own home parish. The year was 1960, and young Irish women of that era were NOT supposed to reflect on their lot in life, or harbor sexual desires. But Edna O'Brien had one goal as a young writer - to tell the truth. Decades later, her compatriots finally came to view her the way the rest of the world did: as a trailblazer, and as one of Ireland's greatest living writers. Forty plus books and plays later, truth-telling is still Edna O'Brien's goal. She talks here, at age 91, about her life and her love of words. by What It Takes®
