About this listen

YOUR LAST MEAL is a James Beard Award finalist for best podcast hosted by National Edward R. Murrow award-winning reporter, cookbook author and Cascade PBS TV host Rachel Belle.

Each episode Rachel asks a celebrity (Greta Gerwig, Jonathon Van Ness, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Margaret Cho, Alton Brown, Isaac Mizrahi, Ani DiFranco, Iron & Wine, etc) what they would choose to eat for their last meal. Then she uncovers the history, science and culture of these dishes with everyone from the designer who created Lady Gaga's meat dress to the ice cream scientists at Ben & Jerry's.

  • Dave Barry: Cheeseburger & French Fries
    Jul 3 2025

    Dave Barry wrote a nationally syndicated, Pulitzer Prize-winning column that appeared in 500 newspapers from 1983 to 2005 and has published dozens of books. His newest is his very first memoir: Class Clown: The Memoirs of a Professional Wiseass. How I Went 77 Years Without Growing Up.

    Case in point: Dave really loves ketchup! He’s also very opinionated about it: where he stores it and what vessel it is delivered in. Spoiler alert: He keeps his ketchup on the counter. Food safety expert Angela Anandappa, executive director of Alliance for Advanced Sanitation, joins the show to tell us which condiments belong in the fridge and which are fine hanging out in the pantry. Plus, host Rachel Belle admits which condiment she’s had in the pantry for 10 years ... and still uses!

    Dave, a seafood despiser, tells us what he did with the live Maine lobster mailed to him as a gift; what his family, a group of fruitcake despisers, did with gifted fruitcake; and Dave and Rachel conclude that the best place to cook French fries is in an airplane bathroom.

  • The Leftovers with Molly Yeh
    Jun 26 2025

    This week on The Leftovers, never-before-heard audio from Molly Yeh, star of Girl Meets Farm on Food Network & bestselling cookbook author. Her latest is a book of desserts called Sweet Farm.

    Molly bakes beautiful cakes for everybody’s birthdays, but what treat does she request when celebrating her own? I'll bet you a thousand brownies that you’ll never guess! Molly says there is one kitchen tool that will vastly improve your bakes, something all professionals use, but which many home bakers still haven’t come around to. And she tells host Rachel Belle what inspired her to open a cafe and bakery in East Grand Forks, Minnesota, while already managing a successful TV and book writing career.
