[Jewel ](https://jeweljk.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org)has sold more than 30 million albums worldwide and this year she released *Freewheelin' Woman*, her first album in seven years! But fame and fortune is a stark contrast to the way she grew up in the wilds of Alaska.

Jewel tells host [Rachel Belle](https://www.instagram.com/hellorachelbelle/?hl=en&ref=cascadepbs.org) how her family gathered food, growing up on a remote Alaskan homestead without plumbing, electricity or a grocery store, and what it was like trying processed food for the first time after she moved out of her family's home.

Then Clay Newcomb, host of [Bear Grease podcast](https://www.themeateater.com/listen/bear-grease?ref=cascadepbs.org), joins the show to talk about cooking with bear meat and bear fat, an ingredient that was once a huge part of American tradition.
