It’s been a volatile few weeks here on Cerealously Dot Net. Between the worst Lucky Charms ever, the worst Pop-Tarts ever, and John Oliver’s public anti-cereal tirade, I think I speak for all my fellow breakfast lovers when I say we need a little optimism.

As such, mournful munchers need look, listen, and chill no further than the latest episode of my and Justin‘s meditative cereal podcast: The Empty Bowl! With blissful beachside vibes and nonchalant ridiculousness by the heaping spoonful, it’s the perfect audio oasis for relaxing after a long day or a deep bowl of cereal. In this episode, we attempt to gently navigate the challenging headlines listed above, while also covering Fruity Cereal Kit-Kats, Team Cheerios, H-E-B’s best cereals, and more!

If your brain needs to soak in cool milk a little longer, you can find 51 other Empty Bowl episodes at out Anchor hub. You can also follow along on Twitter, or send in a listener question. We can’t discuss or respond to every email, but each one is like a boat moving with the current, bearing forward ceaselessly into an innovative cereal future.
