#3: Chicken

Welcome to Anxiously, a new podcast from Tablet Studios. Each week hosts Lisa Sandell and Aimee Friedman grapple with one of their anxieties—from the trivial to the existential—in a humorous and heartfelt way. From germs to mortality, they’re tackling it all. They're helped along the way by smart and entertaining guests who offer perspective and advice. This week, Lisa and Aimee are anxious about handling raw chicken, stressed about being bad cooks, and confused about where this leaves them as proud feminists. They’re joined by cookbook author Shannon Sarna, who helps them address the many layers of this chicken anxiety, and offers some fun advice for the next time they’re in the kitchen Like the show?
