THE PODCAST

“Listening to The Korean Farmer Podcast is like sitting around the dinner table long after the meal is over, sipping coffee and having deep conversation about all things we experience in this world and how to make sense of it all.
A life giving podcast.”
- review from listener Casey

Chef Steven sits down with his wise friend Amy Alexander, Executive Director of The Refuge Center for Counseling, for a rich conversation about boundaries, pace, self-knowledge, and even what it was like living in an abandoned nightclub among gangs in South Central Los Angeles in her early 20s.  There are SO many interesting stories and practical takeaways in this episode.

In this episode, it's just us hosts! Chef Steven and producer Amy Parman take to the mics and catch up about all things hospitality, self-awareness, taking on change in life, and of course, food!  Steven and Amy crossed paths working together at a hospitality concept shortly after the Bailey family moved from Texas to Tennessee.

In this episode, Chef Steven chats with his friend Brad Herridge, pastor and lover of theology, the best man in his wedding, and his best friend from Baylor University. Steven and Brad recorded this episode during a personal retreat where they smoked some fine cigars and got to reconnect after many years of living in different states.

This week, Chef Steven sits down with his longtime friend (and his wedding photographer!)

This week, Chef Steven's "favorite Canadian friend," film director and editor Marshall Lee of JAMD Productions is on the podcast. Marshall and Steven are old friends, but most recently they worked together to make the short film "The Korean Farmer", which received recognition from several film festivals.  Marshall got his start at Sony Pictures in Los Angeles.

Chef Steven sits down with Jordan Critz, an Award-winning composer, producer, songwriter and all-around fascinating human. Jordan's work has been featured on numerous recordings, film and television including Disney, National Geographic, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, CBS, PBS, ABC, NBC, CW, ESPN, Lifetime, TEDx and more.

Chef Steven's friend Matty Mullins, frontman of the band Memphis May Fire and owner of On Point Pomade, visits the barn loft to record an episode in The Kindred Farm studio.  Steven and Matty cover it all - music, food, travel, family, faith, and business.   Recorded March 16, 2019 at The Kindred Farm studio. Produced by Amy Parman.

Chef Steven's pastor at Church of the City Spring Hill, Derek Bareman, visits the barn loft to record an episode in The Kindred Farm studio.  Steven and Derek explore the many paths of faith and family, but they don't forget to talk food, too.  Recorded February 16, 2019 at The Kindred Farm studio.

Chris Weninegar of Muletown Coffee in Columbia, TN joins us for our first episode of The Korean Farmer Podcast!  Chef Steven and Chris try out the new, still-in-progress podcast studio in the barn loft at The Kindred Farm to talk about being entrepreneurs, foods they love, and the joys of living in small-town Tennessee.
