George Foreman, the two time heavyweight champion of the world, former Olympic champion and King of the Grills, passed away on March 21 at age 76. In 2004 we opened up a phone line on NPR asking people to tell us about their Hidden Kitchens— secret, underground, below the radar cooking, and how people come together through food. One caller told us about homeless people and others who didn't have official kitchens, using the George Foreman Grill to make meals and a home. Did George Foreman know about this? We called him up to find out. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-kitchen-sisters-present/id814067846?i=1000701728890 (fb)

Tomorrow the heads of NPR and PBS will appear before a DOGE subcommittee chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene, in a hearing called “Anti-American Airwaves.” Friends, it's time to write your representatives and tell them how much public media matters to you and your community. Visit https://protectmypublicmedia.org/ for resources. You can watch the hearing live on pbs.org starting at 10am EDT. (fb)
