Snacky Tunes

This week on Snacky Tunes, Darin brings listeners an all-new, all-live episode straight from the heart. First up is a powerful conversation with Chef Heena Patel of San Francisco’s Besharam. She reflects on her journey from India to the United States and how cooking her youth's bold, beautiful food has become a tribute to her family and heritage. It's an emotional and inspiring story of reinvention, culture, and courage.Then, singer-songwriter Mark Mallman joins for a live set and talks through his creative process, the long road to finishing his latest album, Magic Time, and performs a few new tracks. It’s a great listen—and a good hang.For those looking to support LA restaurants, check out the Snacky Tunes Substack for donation links and action items.
