EGG-CENTRIC

Hi, friends! It’s been a while since our last episode — we missed you! We’ve been absent for a couple of reasons:

First, because we make this show for fun, we really only record when we both have ideas that get us really excited, which we just have to share. While we initially planned on making this show a once-every-other-week sort of thing, it quickly became a once-every-other-sometime podcast, and it’ll probably stay that way. That helps us have fun making it, and (we think) keeps the episodes fun for you.

Second, in case you’ve missed it, things are… really bad, in the world right now. We recorded this episode when the worst thing happening was the COVID-19 quarantine, and the day after we recorded, George Floyd was murdered by a police officer, sparking an incredible series of protests around the world. We decided to postpone posting this episode because it felt inappropriate to be posting fun and funny content at the time, and we were trying to figure out how we could best use this platform to talk about eggs and make a positive impact in the world in the light of current events.

We’re still trying to figure that last part out, but for now we just ask that you take some time to research what’s happening in the world, and (if you can) donate to causes that are actively helping Black people and helping to build not just a world that isn’t racist, but one is actively anti-racist. Because Black Lives Matter, and always have, and always will. We’ve added some links below to help do that, and will continue to do our best to provide these kind of resources moving forward.

Like we say at the start of this episode, we hope you’re safe and well wherever you are, and that you enjoy this brief escape into the wonderful world of egg. 🥚
