About this episode

In today's episode we meander through the cultural comfort food of fantasy literature with 'The Fourth Wing,' compare burger notes on everything from Red Robin to the gourmet offerings of Stout, and even dip our toes into the reunion of "Dance Moms."

So, if you're a foodie, a fantasy buff, or a reality TV sleuth, pull up a chair and join in as we unpack all this and more.
