What’s the cure for a stressful schedule? Stack up your queue and call it a day.
Yes, The Empty Bowl is back after a brief, technologically stymied hiatus, and cohost Justin McElroy and I have brought a number of appropriately hollow platitudes with it. The latest appetizing apparition in our meditative cereal mirage of a podcast, Eight is pretty much my favorite episode yet.
On the menu this time? Morning mystery meats, massive quantities of powdered sugar, and a cereal myth so sweet you could hang your (clearly labelled) hat on it. To that last point, anyone curious to see the SPOILER ALERT…Quaker PB & J replica box discussed can find it here.
If this is your first trip to our great cereal bowl in the sky, you can find more 20–30 minute delectable de-compression chambers at our Anchor hub, follow along on Twitter, or send in a listener question. We can’t discuss or respond to every email, but I assure you that each one still subconsciously informs my shopping lists (so be sure to subliminally mention doughnuts more often—and maybe cauliflower, for balance).
Hands down best episode yet.
Not to mention the love given to Doneettes, all time great for me.
Plus 36 Waffle Crisp references to boot. Giddy up.
Donettes is one of the most boring cereals I’ve ever had, so dull I returned the box. The powdered sugar taste disappeared immediately in milk, and the remaining cereal pieces tasted like wet cardboard. Not worth trying, even for the novelty.
Definitely my fav episode too!
