Spilled Milk

by Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton

Every week on Spilled Milk, writers/comedians Molly Wizenberg and Matthew Amster-Burton start with a food-related topic, from apples to winter squash, and run with it as far as they can go—and, regrettably, sometimes further.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The hosts have such great banter. I get a kick out of their humor and also appreciate all of the research they do!

YOLOSWAG420 · Aug 2026

This is my go to comfort podcast when I’ve listened to too much true crime, doom scrolled too long, or need to forget that the world is on fire.

Fghttsgbj · Feb 2026

This has been my weekly fix of food and humor for many years as I make my dinner. Always informative, always surprising and a much needed hit of restorative comedy.

Still cookin’ · Mar 2025

I’ve been listening since the very beginning, and the thing I love most (besides honestly cracking up from Molly and Matthew’s banter) is that there is ALWAYS a new episode. Makes my week every time.
