A new neighborhood podcast is focusing on the business owners, artists and residents who help define the South End.

Episode 2 of South End Stoop Sessions features a conversation with acclaimed chef and restaurateur Joanne Chang, founder of Flour Bakery + Café, as she marks 25 years in the South End.

The podcast, available on major streaming platforms, airs every other Thursday and focuses on informal, in-depth conversations with shop owners, artists, entrepreneurs and longtime neighbors. The goal, according to the show's description, is to highlight the voices that make the community "come alive."

In the latest episode, Chang reflects on opening Flour's first location in 2000, when the South End was still in transition. She discusses the early challenges of building a business, growing alongside her team and navigating national attention — including what it was like when the Food Network came knocking.

Chang, a James Beard Award winner, has expanded Flour to multiple locations across Boston and Cambridge, but her roots remain in the South End, where the original bakery helped define a wave of neighborhood dining growth in the early 2000s.

South End Stoop Sessions is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other major platforms.
