Ep417 - David + Jon Moscow, Father-Son Authors ‘From Scratch - Adventures in Harvesting, Hunting...'

Described as a “rambunctious child,” David Moscow started his acting career reading sides for ‘Stand By Me.’ While he wasn’t cast in this major film, in his second role, he was cast as Young Josh in the movie 'Big' (Older Josh, of course, played by Tom Hanks). Beyond his acting career, David found a passion around food. The series, From Scratch, “…follows actor, adventurer and urbanite David Moscow on his adventure of making meals from scratch. He teams up with various friends to hunt, gather, forage, fish, grow and then prepare and cook a meal.” The book by the same name is an effort to help us reconnect with food that sustains our lives along with “experiences taking place in over twenty countries that include milking a water buffalo to make mozzarella for pizza in Italy; harvesting oysters in Long Island Sound and honey from wild bees in Kenya; and making patis in the Philippines, beer in Malta, and sea salt in Iceland.” In this wide-ranging interview, the writers talk about producing ‘In The Heights’ from an unknown Lin-Manuel Miranda, creating digital ads for Bernie Sanders, the realities of making ‘From Scratch,’ making coconut moonshine, how the father-son co-wrote the book together, the problems with a physical distance in food production, and how to make career shifts based on your skillset.
