Bi-coastal PR maven Rachel Krupa of Krupa Consulting joins us in the booth to chat all about her new brick and mortar project, The Goods Mart.

From snacks to butter and toilet paper to shampoo, every item stocked at The Goods Mart has been hand-curated for amazing taste or function and ethical, eco-responsible practices — all by Krupa and her team. Kelvin Slushies for everyone!

We love Put A Egg On It. (Note the "a," not "an," and say that ten times fast).

Sarah Forbes Keough and Ralph McGinnis join us in the studio to talk publishing, friendship, storytelling and good design — and of course, what they're reading, watching and listening to.

Okay, okay, ladies, now let's talk representation:
Hello, world! We're especially excited to host Julia Turshen, celebrated cookbook author and founder of Equity at the Table — a new professional community and directory by and for queer and of color women and gender non-conforming folks in the food world. Described as "a practical and proactive response to the blatant gender and racial discrimination that plagues the food industry," EATT is inspired by the aphorism that it’s better to “build a longer table, not a higher fence.” We're also joined in studio by Klancy Miller, author of "Cooking Solo" and EATT advisory board member. Listen in as they talk about how EATT aims to change the game, what's on their reading lists as they feed the resistance, and much more.
