• Kristen Kish on Uplifting Community By Being Yourself from Who's with Me? with W. Kamau Bell 10.06.2026 1ч 18мин

  Kamau sits down with chef-turned-host Kristen Kish to talk about her stepping up as host of Top Chef after the departure of Padma Lakshmi, being kind, outrage over Netflix's Roast of Kevin Hart, and being a transracial adoptee. Kamau starts by giving Kristen her flowers for being a true natural on camera and the shoes she had to fill as a relative newcomer to television. They talk about the surprisingly big cultural gap between Generation X and Elder Millennials. Kamau recounts his time as a guest judge on Top Chef during a particularly sauce-heavy episode. The conversation turns to comedy vs. cooking, leading to a discussion of the broader cultural impact of the racist jokes at the Roast of Kevin Hart. Finally, Kristen discusses her experience of having white adoptive parents who supported her cultural background and made her feel seen and accepted.

On the new podcast Traveling Through, host David Prior, travel writer and founder of immersive travel company PRIOR, invites culture makers like Jenna Lyons, David Remnick, Deborah Needleman, and Athena Calderone to unpack the places, objects, and experiences that have changed their perspective, influenced their work, or marked a turning point in their lives.
