Spilled Milk
Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.
Episodes
It's another peppersode! Just call us The Indistinguishable Professors with Limited Virtues as we push through our rotundone sensitivities to taste these high pitched smells. Molly takes a risk, Matthew can't get it together and Mr. Botany crashes the show before we ask the age old question: what is lop?
Here’s a great blog post from Casa Mascia Apothecary about producing white pepper at home in Belize.
We've always had a 'thing' for KLP so why did it take us 706 episodes to get to it!? Today we're diving through dumpsters full of pulp as we learn about new fangled citrus crossings and discover a love for food festivals. Mr Botany lurks behind the curtain and Jane Ellison meets her match as the sandy crusts of the Florida Keys beckon us. Next corporate retreat!?

Your favorite trendsetters are back, though they are suspicious and confused. M and M's biology degrees are put the test before Mr. Botany takes over to describe these hairy bowling bowls rich in nuclei. Its a Tale of Marketing and Endosperm as we gaze upon the majesty of this somehow slippery and turgid beverage.

What is this? Why is this? Listen as we draw the line at peanut butter but only after it attacks Matthew. Through Fat Breaks and Big Kats we discuss Wunderbar and lament Producer Abby's lack of sweet tooth as we ask: What Can We Learn? from these logs of mysterious nougat and planks of milky chocolate.
Here’s a classic Canadian commercial,
Matthew's Now but Wow - Cambodian Rock Band play
Today we bring you a topic suggested by the Yukon itself. Listen as Matthew undermines Molly at every turn and the phrases 'banana belts' and 'potato sex' appear as The Devil's Potato is discussed even if its not such a hot potato anymore. Then, we encounter a touch of the midday blight before Molly gives Matthew a diseased quiz.

Today its Spilled Milk: UNfiltered as we start at the very beginning of memory lane while enjoying a rap water tasting. We get into stupid stuff, science and dreams of linoleum before wondering how wells work and what went into primordial soup. Finally we get way too excited about water and aqueducts, attempt to cheese plate the uncheeseplateable and debate traveling to Buffalo.
Unleaded Podcast episode about Flint water crisis
Today we're just a couple of stupid sack fungi who are super metal, afraid of foraging and very Pro-Canada. We discuss non-spooky graveyards, memorize The Canterbury Tales and get ripped off by these delicious Ridges and Pits before learning to avoid festivals and false morels.

Matthew's Now but Wow! - Goodnight Tokyo, Atsuhiro Yoshida
Today we embrace our fears and pepper our tongues as Matthew recounts the hardest thing he has ever done. Through excessive chewing sounds we discuss death by whipping cream, the best position to eat pepper flakes and Molly's new business venture before launching into a signature fiery rant. Dremel Dudes to the rescue!
Molly's Now but Wow - Red Velvet Cake recipe from Divas Can Cook
Listeners, we all know that a sequel 7 years in the making is better than the original so here we are. Today we leave widths behind as we go to lengths to talk about palindromes, half sleeves, drills and lathes as we declare our nesting qualities and ask ourselves whether we are short or long. Finally Matthew reveals he is a Pasta Prude while Molly shocks us all with her cavalier attitude.
Turns out we've got another climax in us so we're bringing you a second treatise on Italian Sodas. Molly gets caught pneumatic tube cheating while Matthew attempts a keynote joke as they sip these grown up sodas that still aren't peaty enough for our tastes. Listen, we've been using divining rods to do vibe checks since time immemorial so trust us to know the difference between France and Italy.
Today we're again late to the party by a few decades as we sample the sun dried tomatoes of sweetened beverages. We acknowledge that this episode is rough because no one cares, but no raspberries were harmed in its creation so there's that. After we wonder what Italian Sodas were doing between 1933 and 1982, we end up washed up and thrown out along with some scary goo.

Protect your collars and don't crowd the meatballs because its time for Turmeric Talk! We're inspired by milk and soup as we enter a postmodern firestorm discussing everything from shoots, roots and rhizomes, the haunting presence of silent letters and the potential sales figures for a flip book of gifs. Whatever you do, don't call it a root!
Yasmin Fahr’s Lemony Chicken-Feta Meatball Soup with Spinach
This goes out to all the Yukon Virgins! We're recording live from our corporate retreat in Whitehorse, Canada! Matthew's dreams have finally come true; we have gone to the Yukon where there very well could be snow. Molly has a brush with death as we traverse trails, suspension bridges and bakeries while tracking spooky ravens and illusive auroras. We meet the Tallest* Man in Whitehorse and applaud Producer Abby's bravery before Mat...
Today we wonder what this topic means as we live that chill yogurt life and talk lots of crock. Since 'creamy, cold and neutral' is acceptable we decide to perplex ourselves instead with questions like 'cow or sheep'? and 'to stir or not to stir?' and 'Larry Who?' before a shocking reveal threatens to unravel everything.
Matthew's Now by Wow: The Holiday with the Wongs series by Jackie Lau
We're in our cave era as we discuss our foodie memories of these specialty cheeses. We get real fancy with dumbwaiters, castles and a coat of arms as we look for a nice dense mass that isn't smeary and gluey. Matthew gaslights Molly and learns something new before dreaming big by dreaming small while Molly updates us on literal spilled milk.

Whether its key lime pie season or not, we're coming to you live from the subduction zone with crocks of dessert as we debate bucket sizes and meet a new eccentric. After cameo appearances by The Pie King, The Rug Doctor and The Stinky Car Detective we learn the worst thing that could possibly happen to a car has happened and pitch like, five new segments.
Today we're slurping memories and building tension as we sample the taste of road trips and youth. We have fun as we learn with a flavor quiz and blind taste test because we're bloody well still here! Finally, we get all angry burger as we put our dentists on blast because how dare they?!

Matthew's Now but Wow! - Abbott Elementary Season 4
On this solemn day, we long for a return to the classic World's Fair as we dissolve candy floss and address untrustworthy parents. Things get silly nilly with faint flavors on our way to Mount Fire as we taste these stupidly expensive snacks and assign ourselves a mystery to solve before slandering Producer Abby. Be sure to stick around for the post-credits scene.
We are your wildly talented hosts and today we're bringing you back in time as we flail for content and demand that Matthew 'say more' about these darlings to pariahs. We discuss The Mystery of the Disappearance of The Sun-dried Tomato before encountering ancient friends, Princess Buttercup and The Bucket Man. Finally we decide that these are best in small amounts. Kind of like us.
Whatever Happened to Sun-Dried Tomatoes? by Priya ...
Buckle UP listeners because a monster has been unleashed. Molly presents her treatise on these cold, hardened drips as well as her top tip for enjoying a hospital stay. The IceKing Cometh as we debate the physics of keg stands and are molded and crushed into assorted shards because we're as predictable as a broken ice dispenser.
