Replica

Podcasts are good company.

Many of my favorite listens can be alarming [political or just informational]. Due to the algorithm, you know who you are, but for my readers, let me recognize these faves: the Bulwark family of newsletters, especially JVL’s good luck America takes and Sam Stein’s quirky analyses, Sarah on the illegal, and Tim’s interviews. Even better, Tim and Bill Kristol, or JVL/Tim/Sarah.

Robert Reich [with Heather Lofthouse] attempts to soothe, but – let’s face it- these are dire times. Kimmel and Colbert, the crew from The Daily [and The Weekly] Show, Trevor Noah, Josh Johnson bring humor with the bile.

There are inspirational interviews like the one Julia Louis Dreyfus has at Wiser Than Me, and the fun at Amy Poehler’s Good Hang.

Amy Poehler’s set for her chats is intriguing, and the reason for this dissertation. Fake food, replicas of sandwiches and ice cream cones, is on shelves. It’s neatly stacked and referenced during the pod. 

Today, in the New Yorker, I was apprised of fake food as art. At least in Japan. So, this bit of serendipity brought me to this bit of exposition.

For the love of Wonder! Love the concept of ordering from a food court with a gourmet inclination, but better yet, the food. It’s great.

Individual rating of my delivery follows:

Brussel sprouts are sweet and tangy even if only warm. They should be hot but they were  delish anyway.

The lemon pepper were the best chicken wings I have gotten from Wing Trip to date.

Bankside has a very nice, low on the mayo, rendition of cole slaw.

Jota’s salmon is one of my faves, although I love all salmon. This has a bed of brocollini and a zucchini saute as a bonus.

I refer to this post as unsolicited but this is not strictly true in the sense that these were my answers to their survey.
