Today's our debut on The Madeleine Brand Show, a brand new program on Southern California Public Radio. It's the first in a series of food conversations we'll have with Madeleine. We're stoked about a new platform to spread the Sporkful gospel, and excited as big fans of Madeleine's earlier work on NPR.

The show runs from 9a-10a Pacific on 89.3, 89.1, or 90.3 FM, depending on where you are in Southern California. If you're far from LA, you can stream it live or listen to the archived audio anytime at the show's website. Like us, they love comments and discussion, so feel free to add your thoughts. /mark
