  • She had to get political.

    Used to like this show until the latest episode where she had to bash the president. Sorry, but our tax dollars shouldn’t be used to support public TV and radio.

  • Delightful and fun!

  • My new favorite

What a great show - and mine is my dad’s pheasant with mushroom gravy, an In ‘n’ Out cheeseburger with grilled onions, sushi from Mame in Eugene, Oregon, the vegetarian mezza from Nicholas in PDX, strawberry Yoplait Custard Style yogurt (which isn’t made anymore), and Sam Choy’s pineapple cheesecake with macadamia nut crust. Plus lots of Si... more

I didn’t realize then what an absolute joy of a human, and what an incredible journalist, interviewer and storyteller she is! Every episode is such a delight - even those featuring guests I’ve not heard of or don’t think I’ll enjoy hearing from. That’s due to Rachel’s genuine curiosity and relatability. Peo... more
