We talk flavor, sure—but also what feeds the soul: curiosity, creativity, and connection. It’s funny, revealing, and refreshingly human—the kind of conversation that lingers long after the last bite. Pull up a chair. Life’s too delicious not to dig in. 🍰","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T00:19:59.815044+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/50-tastes-of-gray-6817375"},"episode":{"title":"Good Stuff To Read When You're About To Lose Your Sh*t","slug":"good-stuff-to-read-when-you-re-about-to-lose-your-sh-t","published_at":"2026-01-16T00:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/50-tastes-of-gray-6817375/good-stuff-to-read-when-you-re-about-to-lose-your-sh-t","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/50-tastes-of-gray-6817375","url":"https://icu50TastesOf.podbean.com/e/good-stuff-to-read-when-youre-about-to-lose-your-sht/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/uyb37gx7quamf3pg/Amanda_Graham_Show_Final72mu3.mp3","summary":"In this engaging conversation, author Amanda Graham (Good Stuff To Read When You're About To Lose Your Sh*t) shares her experiences as a comedy writer and public speaker, discussing everything from culinary adventures to personal growth.
