Talking With My Mouth Full
"Talking With My Mouth Full" takes an unexpected--and often irreverent--look at the ways food and drink intersect our lives. In each episode, hosts David Leite and Amy Traverso and their guests question, laugh, and quibble their way through all manner of culinary conundrums, obsessions, fads, and fancies.

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.

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.

Tomorrow, Sunday, March 9, 2024, is the 96th Annual Academy Awards. In their inimitable way, Amy and David created their own show—The First Annual Talking with My Mouth Full Food Awards. In it, they nominated, voted, and named their own winners in categories such as Best Funny Food Scene, Best Food Opening Credits, Best Scene with Raw Eggs (or the Irving G. Thalberg Salmonella Award), and so much more. Put on your gown or tux...

Let us know if you agree!

Happy New Year!
Amy and David look ahead at what we'll be eating and drinking (or not) in 2024. They also review last year's predictions and to see how they held up. Amy confesses to her bizarre aversion to potatoes, and David butters us up with some, well, embarrassingly saucy talk.
