In this episode, the SNACCast revels in a smorgasbord of their go-to comfort foods, featuring corn dogs, Taco Bell, Costco food court offerings, as well as the polarizing century egg. Here's hoping early spring is on the way!

SPAAC SNACC rings in a brand new decade with an episode on: b-b-b-boba!

There’s so much to snacc on in every recording session, and not all of the tasty morsels make it past the edits. This month, SPAAC SNACC shares its first minisode (or “minisoda,” if you will) featuring a conversation between Pauline and her mom, Terri, who reminisce about how Pauline used to be the perfect, compliant child and how seaweed used to remind her of Christopher Columbus.

This conversation was originally recorded for our second episode, “Gochujang and School Lunches,” released on July 18, 2019.
