promethia_tenkIn the spirit of trying new things and posting again, I'm going to rec you something new every day for the month of January: things to watch, things to read, things to buy, things to make . . . whatever. I'm calling it 'Promethia recs stuff.' Because I like stuff, and I bet you do too.
First up, a podcast:
Spilled Milk is a show where, "we cook something delicious, eat it all, and you can't have any."
Actually, the tag line is a bit misleading: sometimes they don't cook at all. What hosts Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton do do is get together every week to discuss a particular variety of food, eat examples of it, and crack themselves up running hysterically off-topic. Subjects range from vinegars to squash to frozen burritos to Dim Sum and Icelandic convenience store food. It's refreshingly light and brief if, like me, your podcatcher is full of two-hour-long, information-dense talking head shows. And the hosts have a rhythm and improvisational patter that I could listen to all day.
I would recommend this podcast even if you don't like food. Though: what is wrong with you?
Sample episode: Pumpkin Spice. In which our intrepid hosts read the Pumpkin Spice issue of the Trader Joe's catalogue and face their prejudices about the PSL. I listen to this one every fall.

I would make myself buy more things impulsively, but I think I have that aspect down . . .
