The best conversations happen around the table, specifically a table full of food. Each week, join host Amy Dolan and her dinner guests—chefs, pastors, bakers and soup kitchen volunteers—for conversations about the magic of the table. If you've always wanted to host meals but haven't known how, or you host one every night and you're looking for ways to bring greater meaning to what you do, Feeding People is for you.
