This week, SFA accepted our second James Beard Award, and we are exceedingly proud of our Gravy podcast producer, Tina Antolini. As Simon Thibault wrote earlier this week, “[Tina’s] instincts for stories, and her knowledge of audio storytelling are what put her up there, on that podium, with that excellent medal around her neck.”
