Today's guest is Tanya Bush, a writer, editor, and pastry chef. She's the co-founder of the indie magazine Cake Zine and the author of the new book “Will This Make You Happy: Stories and Recipes from a Year of Baking.” Her work has appeared in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Eater, and more, and she's also the pastry chef at Little Egg and Table of Contents in Brooklyn. Tanya joins host Jessie Sheehan to talk about the year that changed everything for her—living through the pandemic, losing her job, starting an anonymous baking Instagram account, and deciding to become a pastry chef—and how it inspired her debut book. The duo also walk through Tanya's Toasted Poppy Seed Cruller with Lemon Curd recipe from the book. The author explains why she adds a touch of whole wheat flour for texture, why freezing the crullers before frying is key to a crisp exterior and custardy center, and how glazes are the ultimate blank canvas for creativity.

The delicious, healthful prune has long had a cross to bear: It's best known for making people poop. In the late 1990s, the California Prune Board set out on a quixotic mission to amend this sales-flattening reputation. It would attempt to rechristen this ancient fruit in the hopes the prune could one day be as unencumbered as an apricot, a raisin, or a fig. In a world where every product and person increasingly believes it's one good rebrand away from changing how they are seen, the story of the prune's attempt to become the “dried plum” is a telling tale about the impossibility of escaping who you really are—and the freedom that comes with self-acceptance. You'll hear from Richard Peterson, retired Executive Director of the California Prune Board; food writer and chef David Liebovitz; lawyer and lobbyist Dan Haley; and Kiaran Locy, Director of Brand and Industry Communications at the California Prune Board.This episode was written by Willa Paskin.

When it's chilly out, there's nothing better than a cozy bar, and vinyl bars appear to be that peak winter vibe. About a year ago, City Cast's Julia Karron and Claudia Rosenbaum from Eater did their darnedest to make the case that vinyl bars are the new speakeasies, and they shared tips and tricks to enjoying them. We're revisiting that conversation today, and you can decide if they were convincing. Want some more DC news? Then make sure to sign up for our morning newsletter Hey DC.

DREAM EATER follows Mallory (Drumm), a documentary filmmaker, who heads to a remote cabin in the mountains with her boyfriend Alex (Williams) to document his violent parasomnia. As his condition worsens, Mallory suspects something more sinister may be at play. As the nightmares escalate, so do the scares, right through the final frame. “What these three filmmakers have pulled is not just remarkable on a low-budget DIY filmmaking level; they achieve the holy grail of horror, which is to make a movie that absolutely terrifies you.” Eli Roth.HORROR SECTION WEBSITE: horrorsectionstudios.com/movies/INSTAGRAM: @dreameatermovie@blindluckpictures@horrorsectionstudios

“Eating people is like eating pears.”Dorángel Vargas—known in Venezuela as El Comegente (“The People Eater”)—is one of the most disturbing figures in modern true crime. A homeless man living beneath bridges in the Andean state of Táchira, Vargas confessed to killing and eating multiple men during the late 1990s.But this episode of The A-Z Of Psychopaths asks a question that most true crime podcasts avoid:Was Dorángel Vargas actually a psychopath? Diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, Vargas presents a serious challenge to simplistic labels. Using the Hare Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R) as a clinical framework, this episode examines his behaviour, motives, and mental state—carefully distinguishing psychopathy from severe mental illness.This is not a sensational account of cannibalism. It is a forensic and psychological analysis of where diagnosis, responsibility, and danger intersect—and why misclassifying offenders matters. Hosted by Simon Ford, The A-Z of Psychopaths explores one case per episode, questioning myths around serial killers, violence, and psychopathy through evidence-based analysis.Listener discretion advised.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/psycho-killer-shocking-true-crime-stories--5005712/support.
Why did this author start the book with tasting, rather than history, regions or grapes? Was that because you wanted to get right into the sensory experience, rather than maybe some of the drier knowledge? Why is your experience of what tastes good as personal as a fingerprint? When it comes to wine, what do you mean by structure? Why are these important, these structural components? Do you think they matter more than identifying that, that wine's from Burgundy, that wine's from Bordeaux? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Jordan Salcito, author of Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, & Everyone We Know. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks. Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Jordan Salcito's terrific new book, Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, and Everyone We Know. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights Why does our first impression of a wine's aroma matter more than we realize Why did Jordan ultimately walk away from the Master Sommelier service exam? How did the title Smart Mouth come together and capture the spirit Jordan wanted for the book? Why did Jordan choose to begin Smart Mouth with tasting instead of regions, grapes, or wine history? Why does Jordan see point scores and rigid wine hierarchies as a form of ego rather than a useful guide for drinkers? How do different people visualize or conceptualize wine while tasting? How does Jordan's concept of wine personas differ from traditional tasting language? What does the TALL framework explain about wine structure? How can simple sensory exercises help drinkers identify tannin, alcohol, acidity, and earth-driven flavors with confidence? About Jordan Salcito Jordan Salcito is an award-winning sommelier, author, and entrepreneur. A wine industry veteran, she has over a decade of experience as a sommelier at restaurants including Momofuku, Restaurant Daniel, and Eleven Madison Park (where she was part of the team to win the award for Outstanding Wine Service from the James Beard Foundation). Her wine programs at Momofuku were regularly recognized in The New York Times, Eater, and Food & Wine, and were named "Most Creative Wine List in the World" by the World of Fine Wine magazine. A pioneer of the ready-to-drink beverage category with her organic Italian spritz company, Drink RAMONA, Salcito will also published her first book, Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, & Everyone We Know, with Penguin Random House's Ten Speed Press.

Today we had an assortment of rather gross topics, kicking things off with Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and an unfortunate promise he made about winning the Super Bowl back in 2019. This was followed by a new beer made with the help of bear poop, iguana pizza in Florida, and a World War 1 artillery shell that ended up where the sun don't shine! We found another strange addiction, and hit the phones to hear your best intentioned plan for your kids that ended in disaster! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What makes a wine feel soulful, transporting you beyond taste into a deeper emotional connection? What does experiencing harvest firsthand reveal about winemaking that never show up in books? What makes Northern Rhône Syrah come across as black peppery, smoky, and reminiscent of pastrami? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Jordan Salcito who has published Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, & Everyone We Know, which was just selected as one of the best wine books of the year by the New York Times. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks. Giveaway Three of you are going to win a copy of Jordan Salcito's terrific new book, Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, and Everyone We Know. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose three people randomly from those who contact me. Good luck! Highlights How did Jordan's father shape her earliest understanding of wine as family and connection? How did working at Restaurant Daniel shift how Jordan understands wine, fine dining, and food and wine pairing? What does Jordan mean when she describes certain wines as soulful? What's the difference between the old world approach focused on place and the new world approach focused on control and construction? Why did working harvests in Burgundy teach Jordan that could never be learned from books? How did molecular gastronomy pioneer Wylie Dufresne help her see restaurants as a legitimate intellectual and creative path? How did an early rejection from The New York Times become a signal to redirect her goals? Why did failing the advanced sommelier tasting exam become the foundation for eventually passing the Master Sommelier tasting on her first attempt? About Jordan Salcito Jordan Salcito is an award-winning sommelier, author, and entrepreneur. A wine industry veteran, she has over a decade of experience as a sommelier at restaurants including Momofuku, Restaurant Daniel, and Eleven Madison Park (where she was part of the team to win the award for Outstanding Wine Service from the James Beard Foundation). Her wine programs at Momofuku were regularly recognized in The New York Times, Eater, and Food & Wine, and were named "Most Creative Wine List in the World" by the World of Fine Wine magazine. Long a student of wine, Salcito passed the tasting portion of the Master Sommelier exam on her first attempt and feels fortunate to have learned so much though working harvests at world-renowned wineries in Burgundy, Tuscany, California and Patagonia. A pioneer of the ready-to-drink beverage category with her organic Italian spritz company, Drink RAMONA, Salcito will also publish her first book, Smart Mouth: Wine Essentials for You, Me, & Everyone We Know, with Penguin Random House's Ten Speed Press this October. Jordan lives in Paris with her family. To learn more, visit https://www.nataliemaclean.com/374.

Every now and then, I put together shows that are all about what I’ve been listening to in my humble abode. This seems like a good time for another of these types of broadcasts. So what you have tonight is some great faves from the likes of The Damned, The Cramps, Eater, The Saints, The Undertones, and so much more. I have a set devoted to two tracks from the new Wreckless Eric album, accompanied by the original 1985 versions under the name Captains of Industry. There’s also a couple of live Replacements tracks from the new Let It Be box set. But there are also some new tracks aired tonight. Earlier this week, Brad Marino sent me his new single, “Murder and Violence”. Surely I can’t wait almost a full month to give that some airplay, right? Same with the new tune by The New Brutarians, “Tonight’s Your Night (Tonight)”, which was emailed to me just hours before the show went to air. There’s also new tunes from Kurt Baker, The Cynz, The Spackles, Vista Blue, Phil Cook & The Fall Dogs, and Faz Waltz. What tunes did you enjoy the most this week?

Tonight's guest, Jonathan Branham, grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky, in a place locals call “The Holler.” As a kid, he roamed the mountains around The Holler barefoot, without a care. Sure, he knew that mountain lions and black bears were out there, be he wasn't concerned about them. If you leave them alone, they'll leave you alone was his mindset. It wasn't until one night, 4 years ago, that that all changed. That was the night he saw a Face-Eater behind his house. When his dog started barking, he grabbed his AR and headed out the back door. When he stepped outside, he saw that his dog was cowering. After seeing how upset she was, he started looking around. Almost instantly, he saw a huge, dark shape that looked to be well over 10-feet tall that was close to the edge of the woods, looking at him. When he saw it, he opened up on it with his AR…If you've had at least one Sasquatch sighting and would like to be a guest on the show, please go to BigfootEyewitness.com and let me know.

Mike Diago loves eating, and writing about, food, but his interest is only partly about the cuisine itself. In articles for Eater, Saveur, Chronogram, The Bittman Project and other publications, Mike has created a niche covering the critical role food and eateries play in stabilizing communities. He has written about the surprising Dominican expat tradition of holding spaghetti feasts on the beach; about a BBQ restaurant in the Bronx that has operated continuously since 1954; about a burger place in Jersey City that has anchored its community and overcome sharp racial divides. This food-focused journalism is a side hustle, basically. In his day job, Mike is a social worker for the Peekskill school district, and over time he has successfully blended his interest in cooking with his outreach to teens. In our interview, he describes how he has invited students - many of them disengaged young men - to prepare meals together. In the process, many have found friendship and discovered that they actually do love to learn in a group setting. Also in this interview: Eating in Beacon, Mike's backyard cookouts, growing up with a globetrotting father and more.

The Author Events Series presents Muhammad Abdul-Hadi | We the Pizza: Slangin' Pies and Savin' Lives In Conversation with Janice Johnson Dias, PhD Before the conversation begins, Author Event ticket holders are invited to a special tasting of Down North's signature pies at a reception sponsored by the Urban League. This pre-event sampling offers guests a chance to savor the flavors and spirit behind We the Pizza. Pizza samples available while supplies last. First come first serve. We the Pizza tells the Down North story about how the restaurant fulfills its mission to educate and support the formerly incarcerated while serving dope food. A testament to survival and second chances, this cookbook offers recipes for the tender, crispy-edged, square-cut, sauce-on-top pies that are Down North's signature dish; a whole chapter is devoted to vegetarian and vegan pizzas like No Better Love made with four cheeses and the arrabbiata-inspired Norf Sauce, while the meat and seafood pizza chapter features their most popular Roc the Mic pepperoni pie as well as the smoky berbere-brisket Tales of a Hustler and Say Yes, topped with jerk turkey sausage, roasted butternut squash, kale, ricotta, and lemon-honey drizzle. The 65 recipes for pizzas along with classic and creative wings, fries, lemonades, and shakes are paired with cinematic photography of the pizzas in their natural setting and out in the wilds of Philadelphia, with lots of journalistic-style photography of the Down North crew making dough and slinging pies. At the same time, We the Pizza provides detailed historical information about incarceration in the United States along with empowering stories from Down North's formerly incarcerated staff. And with exclusive pizza recipes from renowned chef-supporters like Marc Vetri and Marcus Samuelsson, We the Pizza celebrates ingeniously delicious pizza, as well as the power people have to rise above their circumstances-if simply given the chance. Muhammad Abdul-Hadi is the founder and owner of Down North Pizza, the mission-driven restaurant in North Philadelphia that exclusively hires formerly incarcerated individuals. Down North Pizza is the culmination of Abdul-Hadi's thirteen-year vision and is a concept that has long been ingrained in him; through Down North and the Down North Foundation, he is able to impact to the economic realities of underserved communities through excellent food and uplifiting endeavors.

How many times have you told yourself, "I will get back on track after the holidays, because right now is just impossible?” We're often convinced that we need the calendar to calm down—no more travel, no more parties, no more treats—before we can finally make progress toward our goals. But what if the "right time" to lose weight isn't a date on the calendar, but a decision you make today? In this episode, we tackle the myth that the holidays are the "worst time" to be a normal eater. We'll show you how to swap rigid food rules for real choices, so you can enjoy the season's joy, leave every event feeling light and proud, and step into the new year with trust, not regret. The goal isn't perfection; it's practice. Learn how to be a woman who trusts herself around food, no matter how chaotic the season gets. In This Episode, We Cover: The Myth of the Right Time: Why your brain loves to delay starting, and why waiting for "perfect conditions" is the biggest block to progress. Rules vs. Choices: How rigid dieting leads to secret overeating, and how flexible, normal eating patterns build long-term trust and health. The Plate Plan for Buffets: A simple strategy for navigating parties and buffets by treating the spread like a museum, not a target. Handling Family Food Pressure: How to set kind boundaries and honor the cook and your body, even when love shows up as an extra serving. Baking & Tasting Sanely: Simple plans for enjoying holiday treats and tasting your creations without accidentally eating a whole serving before dinner. Chaos Control: Strategies for travel days and schedule interruptions to keep you feeling steady with simple protein and produce anchors. The Day-After Reset: What to do when you overeat (you're human!): how to skip the shame spiral and get back to normal in one simple meal. Your Holiday Toolkit: Three powerful tools—Choices, Scientist Brain, and Good/Better/Best—to help you run your own game all season long. Key Concepts & Analogies: Learning to Swim: Progress comes from practicing in the shallow end with sparkly lights (the holidays!), not waiting for a quiet lab. The Museum Analogy: You don't carry the whole museum home. Visit a few favorite dishes with full attention, then leave with energy. Love as Sunshine: You can receive love (and thank the cook) without needing two extra scoops of food. Simple Action Step for This Week: Before your next holiday event, ask yourself these three questions: What do I want to enjoy? What is worth it? How do I want to feel later? Let your answers guide your choices. Remember, you don't need perfect days. You need a few steady choices, repeated. https://confidentbody.coach/tips/ BOOK: You Are A Miracle
