If you like it, we recommend going back to the start of the feed and continuing from there. But it's up to you. Louis is a can of cola. He's been on the shelf a long time, so he's had some time to think. Featuring Louis Kornfeld. Our website is everythingisalive.com. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

MUSIC
Hi, we’re Deb Perelman (Smitten Kitchen) and J. Kenji López-Alt (Serious Eats, The Food Lab, The Wok). We’re professional home cooks, which means we can - and will - make the same meal 57 times in a row on the quest for the perfect recipe. Is it crazy? For us, no, because we do this for a living. But for you? Yes, probably. Which is why you should listen to The Recipe with Kenji and Deb. You'll hear us talk about what goes into writing our recipes — the techniques we test, the ingredients we taste — so that you can be on your way to creating your own perfect recipe. Whether you're cooking meatloaf, pancakes, or chicken soup in all its forms, we got you, and you've got this. The Recipe with Kenji and Deb is a proud member of Radiotopia from PRX, a network of independent and listener-supported podcasts. Discover audio with vision at radiotopia.fm.

It’s the knot you can’t untangle - a problem so specific, it makes you feel alone. But what if you could talk to someone who gets it? On Proxy, we find just the person you were looking for, a stranger who's lived something close enough to help you get a little less stuck. It’s not therapy - it’s emotional investigative journalism™️. Yowei Shaw, former co-host of Invisibilia, at your service. If you’re just discovering the show, a good place to begin is Bisexual Wife Guy, Mic Chooses the Wrong Life, or Brian Can’t Stop Fact-Checking His Mother-In-Law. The team is hard at work investigating another batch of cases, with new episodes publishing in April 2026 🚀 Proxy is an independent podcast, supported mostly by listeners.

Love the idea!

It’s always great to see how new creative ideas emerge and develop. This podcast is a great fresh idea! Love the fact that interview aren’t completely scripted. Actors do some homework before the interview, and then they just respond to questions as if they were the object.

Everything is Alive is an unscripted interview show in which all the subjects are inanimate objects. In each episode, a different thing tells us its life story--and everything it says is true.
