For our season 2 finale, please join us on a sequel to everyone's favorite multisensory podcast experience: CHEESEALONG, Part Deux! 



To eat along with us as you learn, you will want to procure:  Gjetost, Roquefort, smoked (or unsmoked) pepper jack, and Parmigiano Reggiano. [We also recommend some fresh or dried fruit, jam, crackers, and nuts to round out your cheese plate.] We're going on a sweet, salty, spicy, umami journey today.



Later, your hosts squeeze in some other trivia topics they intended to cover this season [... but didn't]. Thank you so much to our lovely listeners and supporters for the last five (!) years, and all the best for a wonderful 2023 from Lauren and Julia!
