Garden or Freezer Fresh: A Conversation with Marshall King

July 10, 2024 • The MennoBrarians • Season 6 • Episode 6

This week, Abby and Erin chat with Marshall King, food writer and author of the book, Disarmed. We chat food memories and what it's like to write about food in a local context. We also chat about Marshall's writing of Disarmed: The Radical Life and Legacy of Michael "MJ" Sharp - the writing process, writing an honest story, and more.

Content Warning: During the portions of our conversation covering Disarmed, we discuss in non-graphic ways MJ's death while working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Our intro music is played by Erin, and the outro by Miriam Augsburger. Both are "arrangements" of the Doxology from the Mennonite Hymnal.
