Conversation with Jacques Pépin
November 7, 2025, 1:30-3pm ET
On Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, from 1:30-3pm ET, WOUB presents a national virtual event honoring chef/culinary personality, Jacques Pépin.
Jacques sits down for a wide ranging discussion which will include: reflections on his career, his decades-long connection to public media, the important work he does with his foundation, and his enduring role as a culinary icon. There will also be time during the event where you can ask Jacques your own questions.
Our virtual event occurs a few weeks in advance of Jacques’ s 90th birthday, which takes place Dec. 18, 2025. Join us to celebrate all things Jacques!
