On a year-end holiday edition of The Pretzel Podcast, hosts Michelle Maternowski and Mitch Teich share the sad story of the end of a pretzel era in one Pennsylvania city, plus bring you up-to-date on the Utz Kerfuffle. Plus, we learn how Old Dutch Pretzels got their windmill and give some holiday-shaped pretzels a taste test.
