Summary
Yeardley Smith — actor, playwright, producer, host and activist — is a lot of things, including the iconic voice of such a big part of our childhood, Lisa Simpson.
She shares stories about her childhood and her battle with bulimia. Yeardley also talks about her time on The Simpsons, how the popular TV family has showcased the reality of imperfect real-life family dynamics; and we talk about her intriguing true-crime podcast, Small Town Dicks, the incredible work of her production company, Paperclip, as well as her hilarious and light-hearted cooking show, Oil and Water.

Oil & Water
A how-to, cooking-adventure, sort-of-game-show show using ingredients that aren’t usually friends and making them get to know each other!

MAKER MOMENT!
In each episode of At Home, we highlight a maker making great things!
Today’s amazing maker is…
Shujan (Shu) Bertrand - founder and CEO of Aplat Inc.
https://www.instagram.com/aplatsf/
Aplat designs culinary and garden totes that uplift the daily practice of sharing the good things we cook, eat, drink and gift. Aplat totes are sustainably made in San Francisco, using 100% organic cotton and zero waste in production.
Aplat's beautiful home and kitchen products are focused on eliminating pre-consumer waste by utilizing knowledge of origami principles, golden ratios, and pure geometry to achieve a zero-waste manufacturing process. Based in San Francisco, Aplat's products are made from 100% organic cotton and are therefore compostable. In 2020, Aplat introduced reusable face masks to its collection. The masks were designed following the concepts of origami and zero-waste. In efforts to help frontline workers during the pandemic, Aplat donated masks to chefs, surgeons and other essential workers. The mask's pattern was also available for free on Pinterest and has since been downloaded more than 7 million times.
