From WB Easy Chicago, this is Nerdette, I'm Greta Johnson, and I am not quite sure how we did it,

but somehow, some way we have made it to another Friday.

Coming up, Roxana Julepott is going to tell us about her new cookbook, Mother Grains,

which Bon Appetit called the most exciting cookbook of the spring.

I always wanted to make this decadent, time-honored, delicious goods, just with better ingredients.

Plus, I know, I know, a cicada plague is not what the world really needs right now,

but we're going to hear from an entomologist who has a trick for making the whole thing

that seemed slightly less terrible.

I want you to think about it sort of like a really excitable acapella concert.

But first, it's our conversation about the week that was with two excellent guests.

First up, we have Travelle Anderson, their journalist and co-host of the podcast Phantai.

Travelle, welcome back.

Thanks for having me.

Glad to have you, and with us for the first time is Lucas Silvera.

He's one of the hosts of Shine True, an excellent show on Fuse Lucas.

Hey.

Hey, how are you?

It's a great question.

I think at this point, I will just say I am hanging in.
