Episode 1: Madison Ramage | “Learning as We Go”

In the very first episode of Waitress Confessions, Bryce Cruse sits down with Madison Ramage, who’s been working in restaurants since she was just 16 years old.

This conversation is exactly what this podcast is meant to be—real, unpolished, and straight from the floor.

We talk about getting started in the industry, what keeps people coming back to restaurant work, and the kind of experiences you only understand if you’ve lived it. The good, the bad, and everything in between.

But this episode is also something else: A starting point.

We’re building this podcast in real time and we want your help.

Who should we have on?
What questions should we be asking?
What stories need to be told?

If you’ve ever worked in a restaurant, you already know there’s no shortage of material.

This is just the beginning.
