Beyond the Counter: Pride, Advocacy & Cheese

This episode takes us inside two cheese shops using their counters as platforms for identity, advocacy, and community connection. Host John Braga (@ oqueijonista ) sits down with two New York - based cheesemongers on opposite sides of the Hudson: Scott Young of Scott & Joe (@ scott.and.joe ) in Nyack and Jessica Galen of Bloomy Cheese & Provisions (@ bloomydobbs ) in Dobbs Ferry. Together, they explore pride, visibility, activism, and the many ways cheese can bring people together far beyond the counter.
