As part of my rehabilitation I had time with a dietician, who I casually asked – Maureen, what are all these bad diets you hear about in the media? She answered. There aren’t really any ‘bad diets’, Just diets that lack fresh produce & diversity. Surprised I checked, So this isn’t so much a behavioural problem, as it is an information problem? ‘Yes, but I’m a dietician, not a public educator. Well neither am I but having been a hospitality professional for most of my adult life, I have a passion for food and sourcing quality fresh produce and information from a number of Melbourne’s wide spread & excellent produce markets. I felt sure I had the topic & source of info for a podcast focused on seasonal fruit, vegetable & fish & a goal to keep a diverse & changing list, and Seasonal Bounty was born, emerging first as a weekly blog passed to family & friends on FaceBook. With an extended run of excellent synchronicity or meaningful coincidences as I choose to view it, I summoned the technical skills, equipment, facilities and personal assistance to create a podcast. Come 2020 I was ready to launch!

The story of Melbourne’s Covid lockdown has already painted 2020 as a year to forget, but for Seasonal Bounty, we launched as lockdown began & since then (late February 2020), we have produced and broadcast more than 100 episodes – with a new one added each Saturday afternoon.

Now every Saturday, when Jay, my technical producer, & I, finish recording, editing & posting a new episode we look at each other & agree, I really do think we are getting better at this!

So 2020 was the year of our birth & 2022 is be the year of our growth. Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram and if you want to get the fresh podcast updates you can find us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts  or ‘add the show by url’ by pasting this RSS feed link ‘Seasonal Bounty Podcast‘ into your favourite podcast platform to subscribe to the channel.
