Alumnus Joe Schupbach (MFA, dramatic art, ‘19) has recently launched Mirepoix Podcast. The project is an interview-based journey through food, family, and culture via the lens of food practice and tradition. Schupbach started publishing episodes in August and the podcast has already been streamed over one thousand times in nine different countries.

Mirepoix is available on seven different platforms including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Schupbach has interviewed UC Davis alumni for the project including Ahash Francis (BA, theatre and dance, ‘19) and Imron Bhatti (School of Law, ‘14). This current season wrapped up this winter and then Mirepoix returned in 2021 with a second season. Schupbach is a writer, theatre-maker, and food enthusiast and currently pursuing his MFA in Creative Writing at Roosevelt University.
