Sandro Roco is the founder of Sanzo, which has been our go-to flavored sparkling water of choice. We wanted to invite Sandro into the studio not only because we are big fans of his cans of lychee- and calamansi-spiked bubbles. We like the way he runs his business, as well as the story of how he bootstrapped this company in one of the most crowded categories in all of grocery: beverages. We also talk about how he was able to get Jeremy Lin to appear on the Sanzo can. It was so cool getting to know Sandro a bit better. I hope you enjoy this episode.  MORE FROM SANDRO ROCCO:How to Raise $1.3M in Venture Capital with Sandro Roco [YouTube]From Nuclear Engineer to Cult-Favorite Seltzer Founder [Eater] FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW:instagram.com/drinksanzoinstagram.com/mattrodbardinstagram.com/taste

When we last had Arlo Parks on SHEROES, she had just released her hotly anticipated full length debut, Collapsed In Sunbeams, and as predicted, the album catapulted her career - receiving not only critical acclaim but some of the biggest awards and nominations of the industry. Fast forward to the present - May 2023, and Arlo Parks is back with a brand new album called My Soft Machine. And this time she is a big star. I caught up with her a few weeks prior to release, and now that it is here, we celebrate its arrival by welcoming back Arlo Parks as this week’s SHERO in the Spotlight.

Andrea Nguyen is back on the podcast to talk about her latest—perhaps even greatest—cookbook: Ever-Green Vietnamese. Andrea is a prolific cookbook author behind favorites like Vietnamese Food Any Day and Into The Vietnamese Kitchen. Her latest book dives deep into Vietnamese food’s rich palate of plants from the land and sea, offering up ingenious recipes for things like homemade vegan fish sauce and a Grand Slam bánh mì breakfast combo. It’s such a fun, craving-inducing conversation, and we hope you’ll enjoy it.  Also on the show, we catch up with cookbook author Colu Henry to talk about her latest book, Colu Cooks: Easy Fancy Food, and life in Canada.

Today on the show, we welcome in James Harris, one half of Throwing Fits, a very funny podcast and online community dedicated to all things menswear. We wanted to invite James in not just to talk about chef fashion but also to find out about where he’s eating and drinking around his hometown of New York City. We also get into Fanelli vs. Lucien, not being able to get into Gem Wine thanks to TikTok, eating fried prawn heads, Japanese food at home vs. in restaurants, and eating the miso black cod at Nobu as a kid. We also get the Throwing Fits line on Dimes Square. This is a great episode with James, a real one-of-one guest.
