I could say I’m a little late with sharing the newest Empty Bowl episode here, but I was just really waiting until I could sense the whole cereal community would need it most.

And that’s why I’m writing this on a Sunday evening: the work week’s River Styx. Steady these last few uneasy hours and make the most of this molting weekend with thirty-six minutes (our longest yet!) of hot cereal news, cool reviews, and warm memories.

In this episode, Justin and I recount the tale of Freedom Crunch, wrestle with Mighty Spoon, and bring Sonic into the cerealverse’s canon. If your Sunday’s feeling more like a Dying-Starday, you can find more 20–30 minute condensed Saturday vibes at our Anchor hub, follow along on Twitter, or send in a listener question. We can’t discuss or respond to every email, but they definitely unconsciously influence our cereal cartography.
