Good Food

This episode includes discussion of addiction and recovery, and some strong language.

Today the Good Food podcast goes on the road. Samuel Goldsmith heads to The Long Road Festival, the UK's celebration of country music, to look at the link between country music and food: Nashville barbecue, Southern home cooking, hunting, and cooking on the road.

In this special episode, Samuel talks to six acts:

The 502s on fried okra, cooking mashed potatoes from scratch in a hotel microwave, and food tattoos.

Jordan O'Keefe on his food-reviewing past, his famous prawn "PP pasta" and an honest talk about recovery and finding healthier highs.

Harley Moon Kemp on going from celebrity photographer to country chart-topper, eating vegetarian on Race Across the World, and why Roman Kemp wouldn't let her buy coffee.

Josh Ross on grilling, deer and duck hunting, planting food plots, and why "health is wealth."

Kezia Gill on Irish stew with mint sauce, her perfect cheese toastie, and building a British Nashville.

Each guest also does our regular segments: Favourite Dish, Culinary Confessions, the timed Quick-Fire round (who's fastest?), and our final question: what does good food mean to you?

Singer-songwriter Hayley Kiyoko turned her hit song Girls Like Girls into a best-selling book, and now into a feature film that is also her first as a director. She joins Samuel Goldsmith to talk about the 11-year journey to get the movie made. The Japanese restaurant in the film is one her grandma used to take her to in Kelowna, Canada. She also explains why waiting for a crush to come online on MSN Messenger feels like a thriller.

Then it's on to food. Hayley talks about her mum's New Year's Day sushi (and fighting over the washing-up), Japanese soul food in LA, and her dad's fried fish and plantains. She shares her French toast sandwich with cream cheese and marmalade, and her love of jam, which runs deep enough that she dreams of opening her own jam shop. She also opens up about eating out with food allergies, her three-day miso cod disaster, and the lobster taco in Hawaii that made her cry on the beach.

Faraaz Noor: Traitors, Wrestling and Jam on Scrambled Eggs

Traitors finalist Faraaz Noor talks about the food in the castle, his mum's palak chicken, starting his food account and his strangest food combination. What do you eat in the Traitors castle, and how many plates of lasagne is too many? Faraaz Noor, a Faithful who made it to the final of The Traitors, joins Samuel Goldsmid to talk about food, family and life after the show. Faraaz tells us about the breakfasts, lunches and dinners in the castle (the lasagne night came to four plates), eating out of stress and boredom, and his first taste of alcohol-free prosecco. He also explains how he ended up in a wrestling ring.

We also get into:

• How his Pakistani heritage, his grandparents' cooking and his mum's palak chicken curry made him a foodie

• His dad's lockdown habit of cooking huge batches of food nobody could finish

• How he started his food review account, from a grainy video filmed in a car in Manchester to trying restaurants around the country

• His favourite dish: a mixed grill, followed by a Basque cheesecake

• His best dish (shakshuka) and a frozen-chicken disaster from his uni days

• His quick guesses on who'll be a Traitor or a Faithful in the new Celebrity Traitors line-up

• Coming up with his own restaurant, "The Faithful Grill"

• His guilty pleasure: jam on toast with scrambled eggs on top
