  • Episode 740: Solo Travel
    Mar 5 2026

    Today we're alone together as we take listeners along our solo travels to Paris, Tokyo, Rome, Lisbon and Bainbridge Island with Special Guest Producer Abby. While HOTPOTS walks alone we discuss loneliness, crying and experiments in small talk before realizing that there is a fine line between crazy and astute. Through whims and wandering we follow sage advice from WOTSL and share how much better jet lag and eating out solo can be because we are never irritated with ourselves.

  • Episode 739: Condiment Packets
    Feb 26 2026

    Today we tackle Matthew's fears, hoop houses and micro tubules as we taste these tiny format condiments. After our two musical hating hosts spontaneously burst into song, they ask when, where and why do we eat these? will it packet? and is it worth its weight? With some prudish notions and shlunks, sploots, shloops and stomps food drowning becomes inevitable.

  • Episode 738: Japanese Pickles
    Feb 19 2026

    We're switching things up for Producer Abby's birthday and thank ourselves before secrets are revealed. We have a brush with a concussion and anoxic pockets as we taste a panoply of pickles then discuss their role in cuisine and in our lives as the universal friend before we decide to just close our eyes and keep crunching.

  • Episode 737: Refrigerated Cakes
    Feb 12 2026

    Alright, whether you are in a closet or in Tokyo let's clear the air here with some sold cold, easy treats. We get deep into history and call Mr. Etymology on his vacation to taste 12 cool cakes and debate The Useless Pumpkins. I'll tell you right now, if you don't like the word 'moist' you aren't going to like this episode because M & M taste opera cakes, cheese cakes, cream cakes, tree cakes and tea cakes before naming their favorite glycerides, bugbears and jingle hits finally ending the episode with a brazen bowl selection.

  • Episode 736: Dubai Chocolate
    Feb 5 2026

    Today we get some apocryphal origin stories and corporate histories as we go viral before finally achieving Pistachio. As Lawyer Lenny schools us on soft power, soft babies and rich chocolate we taste blossoming flavored treats and look for the oily matrix before taking a trip down to a trench.

  • Episode 735: Puff Pastry
    Jan 29 2026

    Have you met Matthew? Today we're looking for Epiphany in chippy boats, laminated layers and soggy shards. We ask 'what this stuff is?' as we endure another Mr. Etymology drop by and WAY too much math. We end by declaring our legacy and our intentions to buy a sheeter before receiving a very pithy Spilled Mail.

  • Episode 734: Rice Krispie Treats
    Jan 22 2026

    Today we ask How a Rice Krispie Treat is like a glue gun? and What does LCM stand for? as we taste chewy, crispy congealed goop. We avoid kissing our moms as we learn about cereal sculpting and what the ancients ate before we taste a divisive potato chip. Feel the Fizz of this Snapple Crack!

  • Episode 733: Hot Sandwiches
    Jan 15 2026

    Today we're in the mind of a sandwich but memory lane keeps yanking us back. We face our fears of odorous funk as we share our hot takes on various hot sandwiches. We're particular and peculiar as we chat hot ham, oozing cheese, Iowa Skinnies and dense, bouncy meatballs before eventually bursting into song.
