Lunch Box Podcast

On a brisk post-election fall afternoon, Ed and John talk about the Peter Criss autobiography, concealed-carry clothing, the chaos of Sunday dining, cutting your own hair, Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier, and whether or not we should have a book club.

It's election day in these United States, and so Ed and John talk politics. Well..mostly Ed does, including his youthful experiences driving Sam Brownback all over Kansas, and fishing (no joke) with Paul Ryan. With diversions about chicory-laced coffee, coffee-brewing apparatus, meatballs on sticks, crab dipped in turkey fat, and our generation's uniform of dishevelment.

In this scareaway-seeded installment of the podcast, Ed and John talk about Halloween cuisine, adolescence, cocktails, Bomb Shelter Jeff, ghost macrame, broccoloni and carn, and why a wizard needs an attorney.

On this episode, Ed and John...this time, they...they talk about...ah, never mind, we're all just going to die anyway. This thoroughly depressing podcast suffers temporary audio problems (they clear up at about twelve and a half minutes) and much sniffling on the way to addressing aging, dying, illness, funerals, and almost no food whatsoever.

In this very special, and rather short, episode of the podcast, Ed and John go on location at the CutBank Magazine mac-and-cheese-off benefit party in Missoula, Montana. With guest appearances by Jack McCrone, Judy Blunt, David Gates, Jon Backmann, and Beth Ambury (let us know if your name's spelled wrong), and the music of Dear Sister Killdeer. Hear about Missoula bar culture, the proper way to bake turkey chicks (hint: muffin tin), the story of Tyson, and the gruesome beauty of a room filled with macaroni.

This week, in the wake of Ed and John's weekend of middle-aged recreation in Montana, they discuss movies made from novels and novels made from movies, the non-domination of literature as a narrative form, the mating call of Martha Stewart, the unsuitability of macaroni and cheese as competition food, and travel snacking.
