Dear Claire August and Hana Bargheer,
Thank you for the captivating journey into the world of döner kebab. The podcast’s exploration of its origins and personal anecdotes from BCB students was fascinating. The soundtrack added a perfect cultural touch. For a homemade twist, try marinating the meat in yogurt—it’s a simple tip that elevates the flavor.
Best,
