If you're a fan of variety, this episode should be right up your podcast alley. Melanie and I discuss foods we don't like right now, foods we do like, NFL league championship games, and a potential new slogan for college basketball. We also dig into our feelings about books that take place in lands that don't exist, we evaluate our current writing set-ups / chair needs, and Melanie shares her Five Favorites.
