    27 JANV.

    S04E006: Setting The Table #000 - Welcome To The Table (Anita+Eileen+Aimee)

    Welcome to Setting The Table! (Anita, Eileen, & Aimee) This is Episode 000 of Setting The Table, where we set the scene for what this podcast is all about and what listeners can expect in future episodes. Setting The Table is an interview-based podcast that blends conversation with food challenges. Guests choose a category—spicy, sweet, or sour—and the food they pick determines the type of questions they’ll answer. If a guest doesn’t want to eat the food or answer the question, the hosts take on the challenge instead, often with unexpected (and sometimes gross) results. Every episode features new foods, honest reactions, and plenty of laughs. In this debut episode, the hosts introduce themselves, explain how the show works, share how the podcast came together, and talk about their favorite foods. Future episodes will feature interviews with friends, teachers, and maybe even a famous guest someday. Setting The Table is all about personality, reactions, and having fun while getting to know people in a totally different way.
