In their own words
During the Coronavirus Pandemic, like most people, I was staying at home. To pass the time, I'm having conversations with friends old and new, to hear what they're cooking, eating, or anything else that quarantine, or the new normal, has brought to the forefront of their minds. Listen in for good conversations, new recipes, and a wide range of perspectives on our changing world.
As heard by us
Based on 4 episodes we listened to · September 2026
Bryant turns quarantine catch-ups about food into candid portraits of friendship, adjustment, and the choices reshaping daily life.
What's Eating You? uses quarantine-era catch-ups to show how friends were rebuilding daily life. Bryant moves from what someone has been cooking into home exercise and ownership with Jackson, then offshore work and buying a boat with Roxy.
Why you'd press play
One minute you're weighing lobster rolls; then Bryant has you thinking about who you lean on.
Press play if you want
- to hear how taking the helm led someone to buy her own boat
- to revisit movie theaters through the oddly practical question of masks and popcorn
