Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.

Episode 590: Nutmeg
00:26:20
Today we're showing up in unexpected places with weird present requests as we learn (too much?) about nutmeg. We christen Matthew "The Faint of Heart" as we wonder what Mr Etymology is up to and demand abstinence from trees.
We are Certified Professionals as we discuss the long, arduous journey on microwaveable boats from the Titanic, through the Oregon Trail to finally arrive at The PMP. After dodging milk bars, hot trucks and wet mailbags we share criminal confessions and tales of bread assaults.
Today we look into whether three strikes are good or bad as we go brain jogging for sounds. Through hisses, sighs, crackles and thwacks we learn the Sound of Danger and discover marshmallows in the forest. Matthew makes Molly cry before realizing what adulthood really is.
Hey there Salmon Cakes! Today our snobbery entitles us to forgo Wikipedia and declare that we are a serious outfit. We promote spouse and recipe swaps, learn what the deadliest catch really is and visit Matthew's vivid imagination. We hope this leaves listeners with an aftershow afterglow.
Episode 586: Pan-Fried Noodles with The Woks of Life
00:37:11
Today opposites attract as we mess up lyrics and trade recipes with Kaitlin and Sarah Leung of The Woks of Life. We discuss nests vs cakes as well as frying approaches as we avoid too much sauce and discover the importance of arm length. Warning: contains excessive snacking
Today we check our porch and window sills for Meal Train Meals because we are people who need people. This episode is a roller coaster as we look for friends, put people on blast and save lives. Things get spiritual as we learn how a meal train is like Grindr and showcase some hidden talents.
This time, Molly can't have any. Matthew is living his best life in Japan and spends the entire episode sharing his favorite new Tokyo finds while Molly tries (and fails) to act excited for him. We try to define the undefinable as we encounter Hot Milk Machines, the latest trends, seasonal specials and vague understandings. How do you like our new slogan?
Episode 583: Thai Salads 2 with Pailin Chongchitnant
00:37:48
Today we reveal our aches, our pains and our skincare regimens before chatting with Pailin Chongchitnant about the concept of salad and Mama's noodles. Finally, we cope with food (and foot) related injuries with rage screams, moral quandaries and humble brags.
Join us on The Way Back Machine as we revisit that joyous time, May 2020. This subscriber only BONUS episode is now released for all to hear and is all about our past (and present? and future?) fears. We fan the nighttime flames as we discuss crazy, sexy fears, missed opportunities and the root of dental terror. We cower before crushes, aliens and Fort Lauderdale only to realize how sappy being scared makes us.
Today we chat mini-breaks and hollow logs as we attempt to avoid glaze squishing and duchesses. After glistens of lightning, corncob pipes and a healthy dose of humble bragging, Matthew introduces his new podcast (and a surprise!) as Molly writes the new song of summer.
