Every week, Milk Street Radio travels the world to find the most fascinating stories about food—a detective who tracks down food thieves and a look inside the most famous (and often scandalous) restaurant kitchens—and interviews with culinary icons such as José Andrés, Padma Lakshmi, Jacques Pépin, and Marcus Samuelsson. And on Milk Street Radio you can always find the unexpected: the comedian who ranks apples using an elaborate 100-point system, the scientists who study if vegetables have souls, and the journalist who reveals the world’s 10 biggest food lies. We also answer our listeners’ cooking questions, find out how to make the perfect cup of coffee, and share how to eat your way through Italy.

    You Might Also Like: The Run-Through with Vogue

    Introducing Vogue Editors On Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Epic MSG Wedding from The Run-Through with Vogue. Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue This weekend marked America’s 250th anniversary, but all we were talking about was what was going on with the wedding of the century. Over the holiday weekend, America’s biggest popstar Taylor Swift tied the knot with football player Travis Kelce at New York’s Madison Square Garden.  Stepping in while our hosts were away, Senior Features Editor Marley Marius sat down with two Vogue staffers who are Swifties and were closely following the wedding festivities: Anna Grace Lee and Anna Cafolla. Lee shared that she attended Swift’s first ever MSG concert back in 2009 as part of her Fearless tour. The group discussed the unusual location, the surprising officiant Adam Sandler, the guests both expected and unexpected, the Dior dress, possible honeymoon locations, and everything in between.  “It reads sort of like Mad Libs,” Lee noted, “It’s as if someone was like ‘Who would you have at your dream dinner party?’ and then you could have all of those people.” Some of the standouts attendees included Karlie Kloss, Selena Gomez, Fergie, Gigi Hadid, Lena Dunham and Cara Delevingne.  The podcast also got a few dispatches from Voguers who were following closely over the weekend. Chloe, who is currently at Paris Couture Week, shared her speculations on Taylor’s dress after attending Jonathan Anderson’s Dior couture show, which classically closed with a couture bride. The rallying cry from fans and gawkers alike still remains: release the photos (please)!!   The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.
