Hi, Hungry for History fans! We're excited to tell you about The Flaky Biscuit, the newest podcast from Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts. Hosted by baker and cookbook author Bryan Ford, we think you'll enjoy this show's infusion of cooking and connection. You don't have to only take our word for it, though. Check out the trailer today for yourself! About Flaky Biscuit: Welcome to The Flaky Biscuit Podcast! Each episode, award-winning baker, Bryan Ford, welcomes fellow chefs, comedians, actors, musicians, change makers and more to his kitchen table. The guest's favorite, most nostalgic meal sets the tone for the stories of their childhood, growth, failure, triumph, and everything in between. These meals could be anything from a homemade version of a packaged baked good like a Twinkie, to re-creations of a special family gumbo. Bryan will do his best to make these from SCRATCH! Bryan’s goal is to elicit the Proust Effect for his guests, where special memories are triggered by food. Guaranteed for lots of laughs, Bryan doesn’t always get the meal quite right, but they always have fun, get real, and share something delicious.
