"This warm hug of a show propelled by the clear chemistry between the two friends centred the communal and cultural power of food, drawing on its hosts' diverse tastes and respective Iranian and Indian heritage. All that, while also answering listeners' kitchen dilemmas (among them: what do you do when your partner has a pathological fear of white sauces, from mayonnaise to sour cream?)."
"Over in the podcast world, she's had another success, too: this dark and gripping four-part series about a schoolboy groomed by a female teacher in her late 20s. Lucky Boy swerves any temptation towards the salacious, instead focusing on the vulnerable (and sometimes seething) testimony of Gareth now in his 50s whose life was devastated both by the actions of his teacher and the inaction of other school staff."
"In one of the most riveting opening podcast episodes ever, Monica Lewinsky was her own first guest. There's no field guide to surviving a scandal, she said, before a brutally candid hour recounting her affair with Bill Clinton. It was a powerful start to a ballsy series about reclaiming what a person has lost (in the broadest sense). Since then, Lewinsky has proved a great host in meaty chats with guests including Amanda Knox, Margaret Cho, Ronan Farrow, Allison Janney, Elizabeth Gilbert and Kesha."
Home Cooking with Samin Nosrat and Hrishikesh Hirway revived a pandemic-era food podcast, blending Iranian and Indian heritage, clear host chemistry, and practical kitchen problem-solving. The show emphasizes communal and cultural power of food while addressing listeners' dilemmas, including aversions to white sauces. Lucky Boy presents a dark, four-part series about a schoolboy groomed by a female teacher in her late 20s, focusing on vulnerable testimony and institutional inaction that devastated his life. Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky opens with Lewinsky recounting her affair with Bill Clinton, and continues as a series about reclaiming losses through candid interviews with notable guests.
