Liz and Lagusta bring in food writer Alicia Kennedy (@aliciakennedy) to discuss the current state of the food world including Gabrielle Hamilton’s surprise at her own job, bro chefs congratulating themselves for cooking with fire, are ramps canceled, and yes, the Alison Roman thing.

Episode 10: The One Where We Talk About Alison Roman

Two female entrepreneurs on opposite coasts explore the challenge of living your values as a business owner and human being. Liz and Lagusta navigate the politics of food, feminism, money, work and culture with bracing honesty and compassionate skepticism. Each episode unpacks a new issue with relevant analysis, lived experience and a lot of swearwords.

Why the left isn’t as inclusive as it thinks, the actual difference between cancellation and accountability, why people still love prisons, and our recurring feature: what’s wrong with other vegans. Now with 100% less echo!

Episode 18: The One Where We Finally Figure It Out

In which we try to talk about stress, trauma, and coping mechanisms but end up talking about coffee for AN HOUR instead which is actually much more interesting! Also, the identity politics of braces, a quick dip into childhood nutrition and an accidental takedown of raw food. Surprisingly informative for an episode with no discernible plot.

Episode 17: Just Hashin' It Out

Trudgingly entering 2021, Liz and Lagusta discuss the various merits of resolutions, whether or not self-improvement is “a thing,” how many years will it take before Lagusta’s commitment to be nicer actually works, and some humiliating confessions about Instagram habits.

Episode 16: Time Is Meaningless

In this episode recorded a few weeks ago, Lagusta attempts to keep a friend. Is it possible to discuss politics with someone who disagrees with yours with nuance, without bitterness or rage? We don’t find the answer to this question.

Episode 14: On Friendship, Across The Oceanic Divide

In which we continue to wonder whether being political and participating in capitalism are mutually exclusive. A long, unqualified digression into copper science, is self-care actually bullshit, and some foreshadowing about ~ eels ~
