Spilled Milk
Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton
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.
Episode 622: Cranberry Juice
What is going on? Did we grow up? What is does it mean to "get juiced"? These questions and more remain unanswered as we taste crankberry juice, confront our fear of sourness and risk every kind of ulcer. We get cosmopolitan as we discover the world's worst shower head and scream a few more times than usual. Episode 1: Fried Eggs Episode 419: Fried Eggs Revisited 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

Episode 621: Tonic Water
We get off to a rocky start as we treat a fever and wish listeners a Happy American Thanksgiving! We praise, then eventually blame, Producer Abby as we taste this bitter, sweet, medicinal bark soda and reveal some unpopular confessions. After stripping thyme we then debate the best uses of cock. Liquid Intelligence by Dave ArnoldMolly's Now but Wow! -“Who’s Afraid of a Spatchcocked Chicken?” by C.

Episode 620: Cranberries
Today we cement our legacy with an update on The Fruit on The Bottom Yogurt Challenge as we mark the perimeter of this episode. We chase trailing vines, bog bodies and sauce for the pilgrims as we shrug it out before being pumped from the bed.   Episode 564: Dried Fruit ShowdownEpisode 256: Holiday CookiesCranberry streusel shortbread barsCranberry Upside-Down CakeMatthew's Now but Wow! - Get Offset podcast + nisebelle Youtube Channel 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

Episode 619: Upside Down Foods
Today we're keeping it real and wondering why are we doing this topic. After excessive hypotheticals, cake stands and keg stands, we (of course) bring up Singles (yet again) and flip the lid and squirt. We discuss Cold War metaphors and Winona Ryder before ultimately deciding to plug it up. Planet Money: Episode 253: Gold Standard, R.I.P.Spiced Pineapple Upside-Down Cake The Butter Battle BookMolly's Now but Wow! - Real Americans, by Rachel Khong 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

Episode 617: Tamales with Marcela Valladolid
Today we wonder if we can kick it and are immediately ambushed by Mr. Etymology and back-formations before chatting with Special Guest Marcela Valladolid about Tamales. We share some embarrassing confessions and avoid awkward bedtime conversations as we hope to be remembered for our housekeeping. Episode 318: Corn Tortillas Familia by Marcela ValladolidCasa Marcelachefmarcela on Instagram Matthew's Now but Wow! - Moshi Moshi by Banana YoshimotoMolly Yeh Peanut Butter Chocolate Crisp Halva 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

Episode 616: Senbei
It is finally Mr. Etymology's time to shine as we crunch through our conversation on these Japanese rice crackers. We're deliberately smashed as we encounter trains, tugboats and crab sacks before everything comes back to the movie Singles... yet again. Here’s an amazing YouTube video of a senbei factory!The train line that was saved by senbei videoMolly's Now but Wow! - Ross Gay, The Book of (More) Delights 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

Episode 615: Powdered Sugar
Today we step away from our seaside houses and tables to bring you Food Related Anecdotes (the original title of the show).

Episode 614: Condiments on Tables
We recorded this on Matthew's birthday so give him a break as he and Molly McButter discuss mating ketchup bottles, caddy love and what makes a condiment a condiment.

Episode 613: Vending Machines
We're on our annual corporate retreat, vending podcasts and paddling boards to bring you more thoughts and history than you could ever want. We learn about Matthew's time shagging newspapers before we cross the line to receive the key to city and break into tobacco vaults. We introduce (yet another) segment and a brand new Glycine Max offering (!!) before Molly gets too honest. Support Spilled Milk Podcast HERE! Episode 432: PomonaSagamihara Vending Machine Park Molly's SubstackMatthew's MusicProducer Abby's WebsiteListen to our spinoff show Dire DesiresJoin our reddit
