When a beloved food business closes, who really knows the “why?” And who benefits from that “why” never being answered?


Joan Kanner is a food business entrepreneur turned audio storyteller.


Her upcoming podcast, Permanently Closed, shrinks the gap between why customers think their favorite food business closed and why it actually did.


Along the way, we’ll hear from customers, place makers, restaurant columnists, funders and yes, the owners themselves.
