The Negative Space Podcast

Food as a Tool of Resilience

When the earth quakes or sociopolitical issues arise, World Central Kitchen is on the frontlines—often even before journalists. Powered by a global supply chain of advocates and (yes) chefs, it’s been a pioneering force in humanitarian aid since 2010. From serving up life-saving meals in crisis zones to navigating aid in regions like Gaza, we sat down with Linda Roth, CCO of WCK, to explore the complexities of delivering vital relief where it’s needed most.

Guest: Linda Roth is an Emmy-award-winning broadcast journalist turned purpose-driven communications expert who leads campaigns with tremendous geopolitical impact.
