Hey, everyone, I'm Michelle Norris, here to welcome you to your mama's kitchen. Every Tuesday, we bring you new stories from the childhood kitchens of fun guests like Stephen Colbert, John Legend, Ina Garden, Big Frida, and so many more. If it's your first time joining us, welcome. On this show, we always start with a simple question. Tell me about your mama's kitchen. And that question opens up all kinds of doors, stories you've never heard from some of your favorite people. For Matthew McConaughey, the kitchen was where his parents fought and made up. and then fought again.

And now it's where he and his wife, Camilla, dance with abandon as a record player spins on the kitchen counter. It's where Jennifer Hudson first learned how to sing from her grandmother, where Jose Andreas first learned about the power of generosity, where Conan O'Brien first learn how to make people laugh. These conversations are delicious, and they underscore how the kitchen is the heartbeat of our homes. Each week on your mama's kitchen, I'll talk to guests, artists, actors, chefs, musicians, about how the food and the culinary traditions of their youth shape their lives in interesting and sometimes surprising ways.
