🎙️ Quick update from the Salsa y Scrapple crew…
Hey family — we know it’s been quiet on the episode front, and we appreciate y’all sticking with us.
Summer vacations, family time, and just plain life be lifing got in the way. We could’ve forced something out, but that’s not how we move. We’d rather take a little longer and get it right than drop something half-baked.
New episodes are already being recorded, and they’re coming soon to Spotify (and more platforms shortly after). In the meantime our pilot episode is currently available on Spotify please like and follow the page🔥🔥🔥😩
Appreciate the patience. We’re cooking something good. Stay tuned. 🔥

✨ “I’ve met ugly souls in expensive clothes and beautiful hearts with empty pockets.” ⚡️
This life has taught me that real value isn’t in the labels we wear or the cars we drive — it’s in the way we show up for each other. The kindest souls I’ve known often had the least to give materially, but they poured out love, wisdom, and generosity without hesitation. ☀️Good morning Reading/Berks☀️

🎙️BIG NEWS!💥
We are super excited to announce that Salsa & Scrapple will be recording at the amazing BCTV Berks Podcast Studio!
From the OG’s — the Lenape, the original caretakers of this land — to early European immigrants, the vibrant Latino culture, and everything in between, this podcast is all about connecting cultures through food.
We’ll also be bringing you cooking demos from Tec Centro Berks Kitchen — where we’ll cook together, share family recipes, and celebrate the flavors that bring us all to the table.
Where bold flavors meet, stories are shared, and communities come together — this table (and this kitchen!) is for YOU.
From Pennsylvania’s iconic scrapple to vibrant Latin traditions and all the delicious fusions along the way, we’re bringing the conversation (and the cooking) to life right here in Reading/Berks
Stay tuned for our first episodes dropping soon!
