Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.

    Ivy Insights

    The Spilled Milk podcast is an absolute gem in the world of podcasts. Molly and Matthew, the hosts of the show, never fail to entertain, teach, and make me laugh, regardless of the subject matter. Whether they're discussing their morning beverage routine or diving into the history of a particular food product, their chemistry and humor shine through. The best aspect of this podcast is their ability to create a perfect balance between being relatable and approachable while still sounding like more than just a podcast. It feels like you're sitting at the kitchen table with your cool older siblings or cousins, engaging in lively conversations about food. Their genuine and relatable nature makes it easy to connect with them as listeners.

    One of the best things about this podcast is how Molly and Matthew manage to blend silliness and humor with informative content. Even though learning about food products or ingredients may not be the main focus of the show, they always manage to provide cool facts and history along the way. Each episode is filled with laughter-inducing moments, whether it's Molly laughing until she's out of breath or Matthew's boisterous laughter in the background. Their playful banter and jokes keep you engaged from start to finish.

    However, there are no major downsides to this podcast. Occasionally, some listeners may find certain tangents or digressions distracting or irrelevant to the main topic. Additionally, if you're not a fan of occasional singing or off-topic discussions, those moments might not resonate with you as much. However, these minor aspects do not detract from the overall enjoyment of listening to Spilled Milk.

    In conclusion, Spilled Milk is a must-listen podcast for anyone who enjoys a combination of humor, informative content, and relatability. Molly and Matthew have created something truly special with their dynamic partnership and lighthearted approach to discussing food. From their hilarious antics to their willingness to share personal anecdotes, they make you feel like part of their friend group. This podcast is a fantastic source of levity and joy, providing a much-needed escape from the craziness of everyday life. Thank you, Molly and Matthew, for creating such an amazing show that continues to bring laughter and enjoyment to your listeners.

    Listeners, we're ready to confess. We just ate our very first Big Macs and are prepared to make a statement. Many statements. An episode full of statements. Along the way we start our new law firm, put on a musical and make dangerous plans before encountering burrito fountains and slippy sauce guns. Finally, we "showcase our engaging and thought-provoking dialogue" by sharing actual practical advice for recipe binder organization and getting picky partners to participate. The Filipino Instant Pot CookbookMatthew's Now but Wow! - A Sign of Affection Support Spilled Milk Podcast!Molly's SubstackMatthew's Bands: Early to the Airport and Twilight DinersProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit
