Solicited Advice with Alison Roman
Alison Roman brings you Solicited Advice, a podcast that is just that. The New York Times bestselling cookbook author is joined every week by a guest who, like her, enjoys giving and or receiving advice. Together, they answer questions from live and recorded callers that cover everything from modern dating to awkward neighbor interactions to how to order a martini with confidence and, of course, cooking (no, you should not be “washing your chicken,” and yes, you really should have two types of salt). New episodes every other Thursday– listen wherever you get your podcasts. Solicited Advice is brought to you with distribution and revenue support from the Talkhouse Network.
