Eat Your Heart Out is a podcast exploring snack culture that blossomed in 90's American suburbia. Hosted by husband/wife Eric and Ashley Morgan, along with fellow junk food fiend April Vahey, the trio eats and discusses those nostalgic snacks from our childhood along with what's currently hanging on store shelves.

A grab bag episode where we try all the special edition snacks April has hoarded in her pantry over the last 3 weeks. Her husband was about to light them on fire if we didn't get them out there.
Many highs and lows on this one. We have my all-time top most favorite candy: Circus Peanuts.
But also some straight Rap Snack ripoff Lay's "Remix" potato chips that scorch our precious eating holes.
On this episode:
We take a tasty jaunt around our favorite local guilty pleasures with master Charlottean, Erin Breeden. April starts rubbing her thighs vigorously in an attempt to deal with euphoric pallet overload. Ashley forgets that Amanda was our first guest. Eric almost forgot to record the episode. Let's dive in!
Courses:
Erin Breeden is Cheif Relations Officer at Advent Coworking and a true treasure to the local Charlotte community as an entrepreneur, writer, and her just general magnetic presence at any and all the coolest local events. She is launching the Advent Coworking Podcast on May 22nd where she'll be talking with guest from the community who are not just thinking outside the box but are redefining it.
Special Guest: Erin Breeden.

We sample a selection of this season's hottest trend: spicy candy.
Plus a couple bonus candies from our recent trips.
April, appropriately, sweats through her sweatshirt. Infant podcaster EP shows off her brand new crawling skills around the studio floor.
We were so close to keeping this one under an hour 🤷♀️
Cereal is a podcast from this American life (sorry Sarah Koenig but cereal is more American than Serial so I'm stealing your elevator pitch). Cereal tells one story - a true story - over the first course of the day, breakfast.
Quite literally the Morning Star, cereal follows a hauntingly similar plot arch to that of Lucifer. From humble beginnings created during radical religious-based dietary movements of the latter half of the 1800s, cereal has fallen from a healthy alternative to the "evils of coffee" and overindulgence of morning sausage consumption to a primary sugar blasted processed grain barely considered food.
Join us as we try the worst junk cereals of 2018.
Part 2 of our Holiday Special. We try a disgusting Peppermint Twinkie, classic Christmas Tree Cakes, another Oreo variant (😅), and wash it all down with our pod favorite...Cheerwine Holiday Punch!
We also discuss the etymology of localized sprinkle lingo. Post-pod research, it turns out 'Jimmies' probably isn't an euphemism -- but the urban legend has become implanted enough that it's probably best to avoid the term. We've included the Snopes link in the show notes which inspects the origin of the word (and sprinkles itself) and provides great historical context.
Oh and our special guest Amanda gave up at some point in the episode. TOO MUCH SNACK.
Special Guest: Amanda Price Rone.

The holiday season brings our first guest, Amanda Price Rone, who was nice enough to let us force feed her junk food on her stateside visit. Amanda teaches at a school in the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar and my guess on how her post-xmas interactions with students go...
Students: Amanda, how was your trip back to America?
Amanda: I ate my weight in Twinkies and Christmas Tree Cakes.
Students: This tracks.

Part 2 will drop tomorrow (Friday, Dec 20).
Special Guest: Amanda Price Rone.
Oreo Biscuit
Oreo Sandwich
Oreo Crème Sandwich
Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie
Chaos -- Even Nabisco's naming roadmap for America's favorite cookie can't escape the Second Law of Thermodynamics. We attempt to break the the Guiness Record for blood viscocity as we try a dozen different Oreo variants. This was a tough one to power through. Only made worse by how many Oreos we had to take home after the episode.
Also, April rails on vegans. Please send any and all comments to her personal email: [email protected].
