All-star, all-rookie, national champion, rebounding dynamo, Forbes 30 under 30, social media mogul, the Bayou Barbie. These are mere descriptors. None could ever fully contain the verisimilitude and complexity of the one and only, Angel Reese. That's where the food scientists at McDonald's step in. A meal perfectly constructed and calibrated to the exact specification of its namesake. A me...

Inglewood, California. Home of the 2028 Summer Olympics, birthplace of WNBA legend Lisa Leslie, setting of the Rick Famuyiwa film Dope, and in the summer of 1995 a young Aaquil Iben Shamon Brown welcomed his younger brother Khalif into the world. The duo would later be known by the noms de guerre Slim Jxmmi and Swae Lee, or more widely known as Rae Sremmurd. Two decades would pass before the broth...

And what better way to triumphantly return to the world of "also-rans" and &#3...

The fourth season of the PodFast FoodCast is here, and it's time for these old dogs to learn some new tricks.

After a (not-so) brief hiatus, the PodFast FoodCast has made it's glorious return to the world of fast food podcasting. What better way to return than with a second review of the Golden Arches most iconic annualized offering: the McRib.

The mighty cheese curd is known far and wide, from the Badger State to the Great White North. It is an encapsulation of its people, an intermingling of both fortitude and grace. At the restaurant Culver's Frozen Custard and ButterBurgers they have harnessed the power of that elegant dance, and morphed it into something far greater than anyone could have possibly imagined. Here at the PodFast F...

The train has reached the station. Penn Station. But not the one you're thinking of, this week's episode has nothing to do with The Big Apple, NYC, New York City.

That's what the food scientists over at Burger King HQ whipped up this summer, and we are here to review their Fiery Bacon Royal Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Try a...
