Well, pals, it’s time to hang up our aprons! After four years, over 130 episodes, and countless kitchen adventures, Pod Appétit is signing off. But not before a grand finale.

Join us for one last episode of cooking triumphs, and of course, disasters!

Whether you’ve been with us since the halcyon days of the Bon Appétit Test Kitchen or are a new listener, you have our heartfelt thanks. We truly appreciate all your comments, food pics, and support. Pod Appétit wouldn’t have been the same without you!

You can find Meg online here, and you can find Justine wherever there’s pesto.
