Tasting victory: The life (and diet) of Formula One racer George Russell

This week we revisit one of our favorite episodes featuring Lin-Manuel Miranda. Before a live audience, José doesn't waste his shot, asking the legendary playwright/songwriter/actor/filmmaker for the backstory behind beloved lines, his culinary secrets -- even an on-the-fly songwriting seminar. Sorry, you're gonna have "Hamilton" lines in your head for another month.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we're playing an episode from one of our favorite shows, Wiser Than Me, hosted by Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Each week, she has funny, touching, personal conversations with iconic older women who are brimming with the kind of unapologetic attitude and wisdom that only comes with age.  On today’s episode of Wiser Than Me, Julia welcomes legendary chef, author, and farm-to-table pioneer Alice Waters. They discuss Alice’s incredible career at her groundbreaking restaurant Chez Panisse and turning 80. Together, they explore the philosophy of age, food, and beauty. Julia also asks Alice about the meaning she finds in moments of pause, and later talks with her 90-year-old mom, Judith, about the victory garden she grew up with during World War II.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
