The Recipe with Kenji and Deb: Grilled Cheese

News to us at Radiotopia, but there are some of you out there who have some really strong feelings about grilled cheese, almost enough for a whole separate podcast. What is it about this seemingly mellow, humble sandwich — a favorite of both small children and stoners — that elicits all this controversy? (It’s always the quiet ones.) Even if you don’t like grilled cheese, it’s worth listening just for Kenji’s genius lifehack involving sausage.PS - If you are Team Triangle (IYDKNYK), get yourself this rad t-shirt (100% of profits go to ACLU) PPS - for perfect grilled cheese, listen to this playlistRecipes mentioned: Deb’s Frico Grilled Cheese Sandwiches (from Smitten Kitchen) Deb’s Classic Grilled Cheese + Cream of Tomato Soup (from Smitten Kitchen) Kenji’s Grilled Cheese Sandwich (from Serious Eats) Kenji’s Good Grilled Cheese (from Kenji’s Cooking Show) Kenji’s Late Night Chorizo Grilled Cheese (from Kenji’s Cooking Show) Find more from The Recipie with Kenji and Deb at https://www.therecipepodcast.com/.

The Big Dig: Part 1: We Were Wrong

There is a strange irony behind the Big Dig: the most expensive highway project ever built in America began with a man who hated highways. This is the story of Fred Salvucci’s journey into activism, during what is perhaps the most transformative anti-highway movement in the nation’s history.Credits:Host and scriptwriter: Ian CossExecutive Producer: Devin Maverick RobinsProducers: Isabel Hibbard and Ian CossEditor: Lacy RobertsEditorial Advisor: Stephanie LeydonFact Checker: Lisa WardleScoring and Music Supervision: Ian CossProject Manager: Meiqian HeFind more from The Big Dig at https://www.wgbh.org/podcasts/the-big-dig.

Song Exploder: Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over

Crowded House formed in 1985 in Melbourne, Australia. They’ve released eight albums, including their most recent one, Gravity Stairs, which came out last month. But on their very first album, they had a big hit with "Don’t Dream It’s Over."Crowded House made “Don’t Dream It’s Over” with Grammy-nominated producer Mitchell Froom, who they went on to work with multiple times. For this episode, I talked to frontman Neil Finn about how the song was first written, and how it developed with his bandmates and collaborators in the studio. And we talked about the profound connection people have had with the song over the years.For more, visit songexploder.net/crowded-house.

Stephanie Fox: "PRX makes the world a better place one story at a time"

"The very first podcast I ever listened to was The West Wing Weekly. It not only allowed me to revisit the world of an America that inspires me to service, it also led to meeting a new group of friends who have brought much joy into my life. The West Wing Weekly introduced me to several other PRX podcasts, including and especially Ear Hustle. This podcast opened my eyes to what life is like for incarcerated persons and expanded my horizons with regard to the community of people who work in and are served by our prison systems. PRX makes the world a better place one story at a time. For this reason, I am proud to include them in my estate plan."Learn more about supporting PRX at https://www.prx.org/support-prx.
