Love the podcast! Thank you! Any chance for an episode with Gabrielle Hamilton? 😬

Hildemavs ,

So many ads

I really want to enjoy his podcast, he is a culinary icon, but Heavens, does the man like ad revenue! College age kids just starting in life don’t have this many ads in their podcasts.
Try to enjoy, get to hear about a million products to buy.
Sorry, Mark, maybe you could ease off a bit?

Unnamed Source ,

Really?

Libs find a way to politicize food. Congrats
