| Danielle: Rewriting the Rules of Dinner and Parenting through Ethical Non-Monogamy | 20 Jul 2025 | 00:56:15 | |
What does it look like to raise kids with radical love and cultural curiosity? In this rich and wide-ranging conversation, we talk with Danielle of Openly Committed about parenting abroad, navigating food traditions across continents, and raising children who think critically about the world around them–which in this case, led her son to choosing a vegetarian diet. From trying to find ingredients in the UK for a classic Southern American cornbread, to rethinking what love and commitment look like in her 15-year ethically non-monogamous marriage, Danielle shares stories full of humor, honesty, and insight. We explore the logistics and emotional work of co-parenting, the impact of travel and re-urbanization on kids’ eating habits, and what it means to hold multiple truths in family life and relationships. 📚 Learn more about Danielle:

| Trailer: Dinner Last Night | 08 Apr 2025 | 00:02:59 | |
We’re Emma & Dimity—identical twins, mamas, and co-hosts of Dinner Last Night. When we became parents, figuring out what to make for dinner—and how to get our families to eat it—was hard. One minute, we were serving up a home-cooked meal; the next, we were in high-stakes negotiations over one bite of broccoli. Between finding time to shop and cook, dodging tantrums, balancing nutrition, and honoring traditions, we often felt like we were facing the daily dinner struggle alone. So we started asking other parents, “what did you have for dinner last night?” We quickly learned we’re all connected by this daily ritual—but also discovered a world of game-changing mealtime tricks and recipes. That’s why we started Dinner Last Night, a podcast where we swap unfiltered stories with parents around the world, diving into how culture, family dynamics, and daily rhythms shape mealtime. Whether it’s pasta from scratch or cereal in a pinch, every meal has a story—one that proves we’re all in this delicious mess together. Don’t forget to subscribe for even more deliciousness! https://emmafrisch.substack.com/ Credits: 🎧 Produced by: Dinner Last Night ✂️ Edited by: REP Studio 🎵 Music by: Emerson ‘Longstory’ Bartlett, lyricist/songwriter/philosophizer Follow the Show: Instagram: @dinnerlastnightpod Website: www.dinnerlastnightpod.com Email: hello@dinnerlastnightpod.com Listen + Subscribe: Never miss an episode: Follow Dinner Last Night and subscribe to our newsletter.

| Liesha McKinley-Barnett: Food Justice, Honoring our Roots, and Health at Every Size | 03 Aug 2025 | 01:00:30 | |
From Navy chef to farmer, food justice educator and advocate, TEDx speaker, and health-at-every-size nutritionist, Liesha McKinley brings a powerful, multifaceted lens to how we feed our families and ourselves. In this episode, she talks with Emma and Dimity about raising kids with autonomy in the kitchen, navigating “picky” eating with empathy, and the deep impact of food access—especially in communities affected by food apartheid. Liesha shares stories from the garden, classroom, and her own experience raising and feeding her children, reminding us that food can be a joyful tool for connection, healing, and justice. We cover her work with programs like The Edible Schoolyard Project, after-school snacks, growing your own food, and why “yucky” isn’t a fair word at the table. You’ll walk away inspired to rethink how food connects us all. Learn more about Liesha:
