Pretzel Podcast

From pretzels in the news, to pretzels throughout history, to pretzels in pop culture, the Pretzel Podcast is, well, a podcast about pretzels.  Hosts Michelle Maternowski and Mitch Teich place the unheralded salty snack front and center.

The Pretzel Podcast features interviews, special guests, pretzel taste tests, and surprising insights into the snack food you know and love.
