Sunday Special: 'Modern Love'
The chef Samin Nosrat lives by the idea that food is love. Her Netflix series, “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat,” and the James Beard Award-winning cookbook that inspired it, were about using food to build community and forge connections. Since then, all of her creative projects and collaborations have focused on inspiring people to cook, and eat, with their friends and loved ones.
After the recent loss of her father, Samin has gained an even deeper understanding of what it means to savor a meal — or even an hour — with loved ones. This week, she reads an essay about exactly that: “You May Want to Marry My Husband” by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. It’s one of the most-read Modern Love essays ever. -

Customer Reviews
Good but…
Sabrina…stop paraphrasing every third sentence. It’s so odd. The episodes are literally 10% longer because you keep just repeating, in your own words, what was already said.
best practices
I’m a huge fan of The Daily. Great stories and reports. One thing I would love your team to implement is a training or best practices for your reporters. A couple would be:
- Try not to repeat certain words or use them at all. For example, starting every sentence with so or yeah.
- Also, please do not have anyone on who has vocal fry.
- Coach reporters to end sentences with definitive intonation instead of upspeak or an upward infection. If they are making a statement or saying a fact or report, it shouldn’t sound like a question.
Give a listen to the episode from 4/17 and you will hear what I’m referring to.
When you have these best practices, it will drastically improve the quality of your reporting and your listeners experience.
Hmmmm. Fascinating. Hmmmm. Yeah. So…
Every time you hear someone say one of these words take a drink. Best podcast for getting your buzz on.
