Spilled Milk
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.

This goes out to all the Yukon Virgins! We're recording live from our corporate retreat in Whitehorse, Canada! Matthew's dreams have finally come true; we have gone to the Yukon where there very well could be snow. Molly has a brush with death as we traverse trails, suspension bridges and bakeries while tracking spooky ravens and illusive auroras. We meet the Tallest* Man in Whitehorse and applaud Producer Abby's bravery before Mat...
Today we wonder what this topic means as we live that chill yogurt life and talk lots of crock. Since 'creamy, cold and neutral' is acceptable we decide to perplex ourselves instead with questions like 'cow or sheep'? and 'to stir or not to stir?' and 'Larry Who?' before a shocking reveal threatens to unravel everything.

We're in our cave era as we discuss our foodie memories of these specialty cheeses. We get real fancy with dumbwaiters, castles and a coat of arms as we look for a nice dense mass that isn't smeary and gluey. Matthew gaslights Molly and learns something new before dreaming big by dreaming small while Molly updates us on literal spilled milk.

Whether its key lime pie season or not, we're coming to you live from the subduction zone with crocks of dessert as we debate bucket sizes and meet a new eccentric. After cameo appearances by The Pie King, The Rug Doctor and The Stinky Car Detective we learn the worst thing that could possibly happen to a car has happened and pitch like, five new segments.
Today we're slurping memories and building tension as we sample the taste of road trips and youth. We have fun as we learn with a flavor quiz and blind taste test because we're bloody well still here! Finally, we get all angry burger as we put our dentists on blast because how dare they?!

Matthew's Now but Wow! - Abbott Elementary Season 4
On this solemn day, we long for a return to the classic World's Fair as we dissolve candy floss and address untrustworthy parents. Things get silly nilly with faint flavors on our way to Mount Fire as we taste these stupidly expensive snacks and assign ourselves a mystery to solve before slandering Producer Abby. Be sure to stick around for the post-credits scene.
We are your wildly talented hosts and today we're bringing you back in time as we flail for content and demand that Matthew 'say more' about these darlings to pariahs. We discuss The Mystery of the Disappearance of The Sun-dried Tomato before encountering ancient friends, Princess Buttercup and The Bucket Man. Finally we decide that these are best in small amounts. Kind of like us.
Whatever Happened to Sun-Dried Tomatoes? by Priya ...
Buckle UP listeners because a monster has been unleashed. Molly presents her treatise on these cold, hardened drips as well as her top tip for enjoying a hospital stay.

Molly's Now but Wow! - Rostam Batmanglij's Half-Light
Today we've got yet another edition of "I can't believe we haven't done this already!" as we stroke the furry napes of these bliefly blanched hairy beans and erupt into some spontaneous poetry (citation needed). Our thirst is slaked by prizes, ravens, crows and rooks before we lick our salty fingers and erupt into a spontaneous apology segment.
Just when you thought we left the jam stands behind. We're going Paddington on this marmalade before going granular on these gloop promoters. Molly is very un-fun and Matthew chokes before we meet Dr. Mustard Crockman and Jam Trashman as we wonder when breakfast began and what is a chef. And yes, Producer Abby did hate that opening.

We're standing tall on the wings of our dreams while Matthew serenades us as we dance with Greek Salad. On our Quest for Seasonal Bounty we encounter Ordinary Zorba the Virgin, escapist fingers, gummy pants and some seriously heretical beliefs about Zeus. Are we historians?

Matthew's Now but Wow! - The Solitary Gourmet (English translation)
What came first, the baby or the licorice? We're really wanging it today as we fool around with food and ask 'how weird is your mouth'? Through twisted teeth, apocryphal origin stories, vittles and vice we become surprised, interested and loose as we buck tradition and add extra bacon.

Unfortunately there are no butts in this episode just chive blossoms, lavender jelly, nasturtium stems and candied violets. We're chomping on petals and avoiding bezoars before discussing jam bands, band stands and jam stands. After providing a few warnings, we share our favorite fictional food and wonder if we are heroes. duh.

Matthew is very afraid because we're talking cold, creamy and savory today. And also because there's a horny ghost about. Mollthew discuss this mildly interesting topic, sneak in a Singles quote and become desperate for validation from teenagers. Lesson Learned: If give a man a dude ranch he's going to want a steakhouse.

Today we're more on trend than usual and never get on Memory Lane as we try the perfect snack of gateway kimbap. Through spicy experiences we're first harmonious, then horrified before becoming almost overwhelmed as we declare Spilled Milk: A Hungry Time.

Matthew's Now but Wow: The Wonder of Stevie Podcast
Happy 15th birthday to us! It's our Crystal Anniversary so join us along Memory Lane as we reminisce about scrapped episodes, missteps, regrets and harrowing encounters before we, yet again, proposition Dennis Quaid. We share memories of corporate retreats and defunct segments before interviewing Mrs Cubbinson and Cookie Monster and sharing advice to our past selves. After a group pinkie swear we play Real or Fake Episode before Mo...
We are pleased as punch to wish you a Happy New Year and ourselves a Happy 15th Birthday! We know the sequel is never as good as the original but this one includes alcohol and jungle birds so... five stars? Benjamin Franklin keeps showing up as we wonder if a martini is a punch and discuss the Grandmother of all cocktails, pervasive funks and red goo. We're having a grand ol' time!
Episode 677: Punch Like at School Dances
We know we always say this but seriously, how have we never done this before!? The anticipation is over because today there are no rules except the rules as we break off a piece of that graham cracker and loose wiles beget looser morals. We want to assure our listeners that ALL of our magnetic appliances are thoroughly tested against the unchaste passions of youth and that we've done a 180 on some of our policies.
Today we revisit memories of school dances past, their soundtracks and dance partners as we wonder what 'spiking' the punch means and tackle pronunciation quandaries. Ice rings, ladles and wrestling lead us to noisy cooking and quiet meals before Matthew turns into a summer boy.

Today we're talking all things, but not all things Breadsticks. We tackle these non-nostril shaped bread lumps that are burnished with time and butter as we use this opportunity as a soft launch for 'A Big Time for Cuisine' and 'Not Bad with Matthew Amster-Burton'. Dreams get dashed, thumbs get big and futures are thrown into question as the innuendos fly.
