Food Under Fire

thank you for listening.i love you all.see you again soon.until then... farewell <3

Today’s monologue was delivered in one take with no script.These are my raw, visceral thoughts on the matter.I was feeling a bit emotional when making this, but make no mistake: I would still love to be involved in media, content creation, and food.I just need to take a step back and reconsider where I’m going and what I want.Thank you for listening and I promise this won’t be the last time you hear from me.Stay tuned next week for the final interview with Ann Kim.After that? Who knows.But I’m excited.– Matt
