Hey everyone, Dan here with another sporkful reheat for you. This one needs just a little bit of

setup because this coming Monday, January 13th, for our regular release, we are dropping the

Sporkful 15th Anniversary Spectacular episode. I can't wait for you to hear it. We will be

celebrating 15 years as a podcast for that episode. I'll talk with my wife, Janie, and reminisce

about the early days of the show. I'll tell you the whole story of the creation and the

evolution of the show, and I will share clips of some of my very favorite moments in

Sporkful History. In addition to that, in honor of our 15th anniversary, for our Friday reheats

this month, we are pulling especially old episodes out of the darkest recesses of the deep freezer.

So today, we are playing our very first sporkful episode ever.

Yes, this is episode number one from back in 2010.

And then because these episodes back there were very short, we're going to give you a second one right here in this release.

That will be our 19th ever episode also from 2010. That one's a debate

about sandwich science with former Radio Lab co-host Robert Krollwich. Now, way back in the early

days of the Sporkville, I had a co-host, my friend Mark Garrison, who I had worked with at NPR.

He did the show with me, so you'll hear him in these episodes. And I think as are here, the show is very different in the very early days, so I hope you'll enjoy seeing how the show has changed over time.

Now, as always, if there's an episode of the Sporkful that you'd like us to pull out of the deep freezer, let me know.

Send us an email or voice memo to hello at sporkful.com.

Don't forget to include your first name, location, which episode you'd like us to reheat and why. Thanks so much.

Stay tuned for the 15th anniversary spectacular this Monday and in the meantime, enjoy this trip down memory lane.

This is the sporkful where sacred cows get grilled.

I'm Dan Pashman along with my friend Mark Garrison.

Hello, Dan.
