Summary

Liz and Sarah recently learned the concept of an “Inside Board.” From now on, whenever they run a show they’ll be forming one. In Take A Hike, they share how a listener turning Sarah on to a fiber center in North Dakota made them realize the value of leaning into Niche Nirvana. A recent visit with American writer Fannie Flagg led to this week’s The Craft (& Fain) — ask yourself “who are you writing for?” Fannie Flagg is also the source of the Hollywood Hack: To figure out structure, clip scenes to a clothesline and move them around. Finally, Sarah recommends the book Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy by Mary Roach.

0:00.0	Hey, it's Hassam Minhaj here from the Hassam Minhaj doesn't know podcast, among other things. And I hate the smell of rotting food almost as much as I hate wasting it in the first place. Thankfully, now I have Mill. Mill is a food recycler that is odorless, guiltless, and completely effortless. See, I've always wanted to reduce my food waste. It is one of the easiest ways for an individual to make a big impact on the environment. But I just cannot stand the mess of a compost bin in the kitchen. But with
0:27.4	mill, all you do is dropping your scraps and you let it go. It works quickly and quietly turning
0:32.3	your food, even small bones, into nutrient-rich grounds. Now I take out the trash way less, yet my kitchen smells
0:39.2	way better, and I don't have to feel guilty when my zucchini gets moldy. Plus, it looks cool.

1:34.9	and start reading now. You can find my husband's wife wherever books are sold.
1:40.4	Liz, what did you wear to the Survivor Party?
1:49.0	Well, of course, I wore my Jeff Probst t-shirt, Sarah.
1:55.7	You know, I like to have a t-shirt for a theme party, so I did wear my Jeff shirt.
1:58.8	I hope he shows up at one of these things.
