Kept you waiting, huh?

The Empty Bowl’s brief hiatus is over, and we’re back with the most subdued, welcoming and genial vengeance you’ve ever heard. For those who have yet to bring their daily anxieties back to an edible equilibrium, welcome to our milky oasis: The Empty Bowl is a podcast wherein Justin McElroy and I explore the latest goings-on in the news-o-sphere of airy new cereal spheres. But timely information is only our secondary goal—we’re mostly focused on inoculation against stress and bad vibes, as our munchie meditations hopefully hark back innocent memories, of when all us human souls were just swimming together in a primordial soup of stardust and Sprinkle Spangles.

In this tenth-most of episodes, we cover some upcoming Kellogg’s cereals, grill Honey Brunches of Oats’ meaty new flavors, and expose the legend of a Legend of Zelda cereal that time—and heroes of it—has largely forgotten.

If your day’s riddled with more worries than one episode can handle, you can find more 20–30 minute soothing soundscapes at our Anchor hub, follow along on Twitter, or send in a listener question. We can’t discuss or respond to every email, but they definitely influence our dreams, so be sure to send a few about milkshake jacuzzis.
