    Eating Through the Decades of our Lives

    Eating Through the Decades of our Lives

    Yeah, we know. It sounds like a cheesy 1960s song. And speaking of the '60s, neither Amy nor producer Adam were alive at the time. Only David was.
    And that got us thinking: What were the foods we loved, adored, and lived for through the stages of our lives? Everything from Pop-Tarts (David remembers when they didn't come frosted) to Amy's beloved chili crisps.
    Listen along and tell us on our Patreon page (it's free to join) what were the foods of your life?

    Mindful Eating, Meditation & Happiness with Dan Harris

    Mindful Eating, Meditation & Happiness with Dan Harris

    Okay, this is a bit of a departure for Amy and David. What started out as a simple, straightforward interview about mindful eating with former ABC correspondent Dan Harris (now a leading teacher, practitioner, and best-seller author on meditation) became an engrossing discussion of self-defeating behavior and self-talk, the toxicity of body shaming, "Big T" and "little T" trauma, and ways out of the morass.

Amy and David are a delight to listen to and I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who enjoys feeling like your sitting at a table chatting with fellow foodie friends.

My Favorite Podcast

I’ve listened to every single episode and I now awkwardly feel like David, Amy, and I are the best of friends. Amy is so relatable and lovely. David is very clever and charming. They both share really interesting experiences and recipes that I can’t wait to try every week. I also love their style when they interview their guests. They both are genuinely interested in their guests and the banter is never ever forced. Each week as I listen I find myself jotting down notes and have some sort of interesting take away. When David and Amy completed this season in particular I found myself re-listening to every single episode. I’m super grateful to the entire staff of the podcast for brightening my day every week.
Thank you from your new best friend, Jan
