For Halloweekend this year, we discuss candy, tombstones and television recommendations with two fabulous guests. Delia Cai is a correspondent for Vanity Fair and Nick Quah is a podcast critic for Vulture. Then, Michelin star chef and Top Chef finalist Sarah Grueneberg stops by to chat about her new cookbook Listen to Your Vegetables. Plus, as long as there has been writing, there has been writer’s block. Joyce Kinkead, English professor at Utah State University, tells us about her recent article for The Conversation titled "The 5,000-year history of writer’s block."
