The Improper Podcast The Improper Bostonian

Eric Asimov, wine critic for The New York Times, joins the program to discuss tasting notes, his new memoir and the joys of white zinfandel. All that, plus thoughts on our Chefs issue, featuring cover girl Kristen Kish from Top Chef.

Comedian and Lexington native Pete Holmes—from Conan, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, his podcast, You Made It Weird, and much more—joins Nick for a conversation about humor, movies, religion, zombie apocalypses and tons of things in between. It's a lot of fun. Please enjoy (and please grab our Holiday Shopping issue out right now).

It's a very fun and seasonal episode as Nick talks about the Luxe Life issue, and Laura Guiliano from Para-Boston Investigators joins the show to talk about ghosts, hauntings and local history. It's an episode full of laughs, with the occasion scare thrown in for balance.

It's the anniversary episode, and Miss USA visits the studio to talk pageants, charity work and how to walk like a winner. Nick considers buying a ball gown.

It's time for the Fall Dining issue, so we're talking about Ming Tsai and new food trends. Plus, chef Will Gilson from the upcoming Puritan & Co. stops in to chat about charcuterie and how Band of Brothers makes him cry.

It's the Fall Fashion issue, so of course we've got Rich Levine (from Comcast SportsNet and The Improper's Take 5 column) in to give his expert opinion. Valentino silk dresses, Bobby Valentine managerial strategies, Nick's controversial theory about Tom Brady. This episode has it all.
