This eclectic collection of radio stories and sonic snapshots chronicle how recorded sound has captured and shaped American life. They include a cardboard disc recorded by Tennessee Williams in a New Orleans penny arcade, a home-recorded letter from World War II, the songs of a 1930s fish vendor, and more.

Produced by the Peabody Award winning radio team, The Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson & Nikki Silva, (creators of NPR's "Lost & Found Sound" and "The Sonic Memorial Project") with Jay Allison, Hidden Kitchens explores the world of street corner cooking, kitchen traditions and visionaries, and how communities come together through food.
