    Bridgerton’s Claudia Jessie Likes Life At A Low Simmer

    Bridgerton’s Claudia Jessie Likes Life At A Low Simmer

    Actor Claudia Jessie is just as nonconformist as Eloise, her character on the hit Netflix show Bridgerton. She lived on a houseboat for three years, doesn’t have social media, and opposes multi-tasking. She likes living at a slower pace — and she has the same attitude when it comes to food. Claudia chats with Dan about chip butties, “shelf sweeping” (think: Chopped), and why she sort of wishes she waited until she was a bit older to go vegan. Then, she embodies Eloise to take a BuzzFeed quiz that promises to tell you which Bridgerton character you are based on the desserts you choose. Does the quiz know Eloise as well as Claudia does?

Great deep dish episode

The Deep Dish with Sohla and Ham on Bagels is one of my favourite podcast episodes, on any podcast. Such a good story, so entertaining and informative.

Whiskey Mystery a gem of an episode

I am such a fan of your deep dives - this episode harkens back to older classic journalistic episodes where you’re seriously obsessing and celebrating people. Very cool historical ties and moving story telling indeed! Love the song!! More Sporkfull original tunes please!!
