Shootin' the Bries - Episode 2
We've got something special interrupting your feed today… in 2018, Jordan Morris and John Hodgman recorded an episode of a one-off podcast called Shootin' the Bries for the Max Fun Drive.
The former cheesemongers are reunited for another special episode! They chat with Joe Berkowitz, the author of American Cheese: An Indulgent Odyssey Through the Artisan Cheese World. Jordan and John also talk about cheese flavored products, and how their relationship with cheese has changed since the last time they recorded the podcast. -
May it Please Descartes

Customer Reviews
The Whole Package
This show has got Draculas, Creepy Babies, Pellet Stoves, Extinct Hockey, Scallops, Bats, Cows, Pets, Birthday Cakes, the list is truly endless.
Definitely the best podcast by a Brookline native in Brooklyn promoting Brooklinen.
Obnoxious and Smug
I've liked John Hodgman elsewhere, but here he places his woke, "progressive" politics front and center, and it leads to bad results. If it were funny, it might be excused, but it isn't. He's insufferable, hifalutin, and is a great reason why people vote Republican. Just awful.
Excellent
Might be interesting to go back to earlier episodes to see how much time was spent promoting their shows and endlessly plugging sponsors verus actually hearing cases, but I've wasted enough of my life with this bunch. They had me, but now they've lost me.
