Published: Jan. 15, 2018, 5 a.m.

Susie talks about a 90-year-old Jewish lady who tried bacon for the first time, and how her experience revealed the way the Internet can affect people's religious faith. Find out why Sarah is boycotting Yogurtland. We learn what a "food swamp" is, and why they're affecting low income people. We discuss a man in South America who is the last person who speaks his language, and what it means for linguistics. Plus, we interview Phil Rosenthal whose show, Somebody Feed Phil, is on Netflix. He talks about how food and humor bring people together. Today's show is brought to you by Casper, for $50 toward your mattress, go to casper.com/braincandy (terms and conditions apply).
