Fair. Hello

0:45

and welcome to Little Gold Men, the

0:47

award season podcast from Vanity Fair. I

0:50

am delighted and proud to introduce

0:52

him as Academy Award

0:54

winner. And the Oscar goes to.

0:58

The winner, it's a tie. And

1:02

any little girl who's practicing their speech on

1:04

the telly, you never know. Mom,

1:07

I just want an Oscar.

1:18

I am Katie Rich. I'm here

1:20

for today's interview episode with David Canfield. Hi Katie. David,

1:23

you have today's so many great stories. You

1:26

have today's sole interview and really

1:28

with a worthy person to carry

1:30

an entire interview. Davey Joy

1:32

Randolph has been working in the industry long

1:35

enough that I think a lot of us

1:37

have been fans of her work from other

1:39

things. And you and I both at separate

1:41

festivals walked out of the holdovers thinking, oh

1:43

my God, finally, people everywhere are going to

1:45

know what she can do. And

1:48

they really have. She's had an incredible award season

1:50

thus far. She's got an Oscar nomination for Best

1:52

Supporting Actress. And I don't know a lot

1:54

about the conversation you had with her except that she was a

1:56

blast. She was a blast. She

1:58

is a blast. We started by

2:01

talking a little bit about her relationship

2:03

to the Oscars. And

2:05

then I asked her about her

2:07

speeches and how one goes about

2:10

preparing to deliver a victory

2:12

speech in front of a bunch of famous people over

2:15

and over. She's already done. And that's,

2:17

yeah, we kind of went off from there. Because

2:19

I feel like a lot of times you get someone who feels

2:21

like a newcomer in the Oscar race. This

2:24

is her first nomination. And they're like, oh my God, I can't believe

2:26

I'm here. Like this is so exciting. And she is so cool,

2:28

calm, and collected in this fascinating way. And

2:31

it fits the performances I've seen from her.

2:33

She's a stage veteran. Obviously, she knows how

2:35

to hold her room. But it

2:37

is a really interesting glimpse into not just her

2:39

personality, but maybe she's like showing the rest of

2:41

the industry like what she can do, what kind

2:43

of command she has of a room full of

2:45

famous people, like you said. Yeah, we

2:47

talked about it in a few different contexts. This

2:49

is, I think, safe to call her a consummate

2:52

professional, somebody who, like you said, has been in

2:54

this business a long time. We talked about her

2:57

time on the guest star track on big

2:59

TV shows and learning how to sort of

3:02

adjust yourself on different kinds of sets. In

3:05

terms of the speeches, understanding

3:07

that you might be too overwhelmed when you get

3:09

on that stage and you have to have something

3:11

prepared. But you also want it to be honest.

3:14

And I think she struck that balance really

3:16

beautifully. And a big

3:18

theme broadly this season has

3:20

been journeymen actors like

3:22

Coleman Domingo, Jeffrey Wright, Dave

3:24

O' moving

3:53

through all this together. Yeah. She described

3:56

the relationship between not just with

3:58

Paul but with Alexander Payne and Dominic homage. these

4:00

last few months as a deepening rather

4:03

than a reintroduction because while they

4:05

did, they made an independent

4:07

movie, they didn't shoot for very long, they made it

4:09

two years ago. She describes that

4:12

they were all in a room together basically for

4:14

a couple months, so they did get to know

4:16

each other quite intimately. But she's really grown

4:19

quite close to all of them these last few

4:21

months. And I hope listeners get to

4:23

the end of this episode because she does make a

4:25

pact about what she will do with Paul Giamatti on

4:28

Oscar night. Wow, okay, I don't know what

4:30

it's gonna be, so I'm gonna be listening because

4:32

everybody else. Let's hear your conversation with

4:34

the star of the holdovers, Dave Vine, Joy

4:37

Randolph. Dave

4:43

Vine, Joy Randolph, welcome to the show.

4:46

Oscar nominee, Dave Vine, Joy Randolph, are you

4:48

getting used to that label yet? No,

4:51

not yet. No, not yet. Hasn't

4:54

sucked in? Nope. Nope.

4:58

Very well deserved. You've had a

5:00

pretty good few months with the

5:02

holdovers for your very deservedly being

5:04

recognized. We are an

5:06

awards podcast, so I kind of wanted to start

5:09

by asking a little bit about your relationship to

5:11

the Oscars now that you are among the class.

5:14

I know you came up in

5:16

musical theater, opera singer. What

5:19

was your relationship to the Oscars? Do you

5:21

remember the first time you watched and stuff

5:23

like that? Yeah, the Oscars was like the

5:26

Olympics. I watched it, we all watched it

5:28

as a family, excuse me, since I was

5:30

little. I just thought it

5:32

was really pretty dresses. I

5:35

would be excited if someone said, you

5:38

remember? I don't know if they do that

5:40

as much, but remember what was like every

5:42

year it was like one

5:44

or two really epic 11 o'clock

5:47

number songs. I remember I used to

5:49

be very excited for those to happen

5:51

in the dresses, in the

5:53

red carpet. I

5:55

remember seeing

5:58

people's reactions. I remember

6:01

that as a kid being like, wow, this

6:03

is like everything to

6:06

these people. Because she's

6:08

so unique, especially as you start

6:10

to experience it. All

6:13

of this is very out of body. None

6:16

of this stuff has processed.

6:18

It was funny, I was like, it's

6:20

in my acupuncturist. Because she's like

6:22

a healer and all this other stuff too. And she

6:24

was like, how are you feeling? And I was like, none

6:27

of it has registered. And

6:29

she's like, that's okay. And

6:32

she says she's worked with people before

6:34

where they'll come into her the very

6:36

next day. And she'll put

6:38

the first needle in and they're like,

6:40

you know what I mean? Just a

6:43

bevy of emotions

6:46

just gushing out. So

6:49

I'm just letting it be what it's gonna be

6:51

and not force any energy or

6:55

this is just where we're at. It's

6:58

beyond me. I never in a

7:00

million years. So

7:02

this is wild to me. It's

7:05

funny, I remember the first

7:07

Oscars that I probably wasn't the first that I

7:10

watched. But the first that got me really hooked

7:12

was the year that Dreamgirls was up. And

7:14

I remember watching Jennifer Edson

7:17

and Beyonce perform. And

7:19

teenage gay boys such as myself decided,

7:21

yep, this is for me. This

7:24

is for you. It's a match made in heaven.

7:26

It's a match made in heaven. Absolutely. The

7:29

dance moves, those big numbers. Well, too,

7:31

because I used to love the Grammys.

7:34

You know what I mean? Because of

7:36

the performances, those big numbers. And

7:38

I don't know if they do as

7:40

much of it, but I hope they bring it

7:42

back. I hope they do it this year. Right?

7:45

Like what they did is big,

7:47

beautiful, like Barbie number. You

7:50

know, that'd be fun. Well,

7:55

in the spirit of being in

7:57

some of these rooms for the first time, I've really

7:59

I love the speeches you've gotten to make

8:02

so far. Thank you. And there

8:04

is an art to that in its own way.

8:07

And I'm curious how you've thought about just

8:10

crafting that kind of thing. You've read them,

8:12

you've made a point of that, and especially

8:14

maybe, maybe not continuing to go from show

8:16

to show. You have won a few of

8:18

these. So I'm curious how you think about

8:21

it, kind of how to space them out.

8:25

I literally began

8:27

truly thinking about it while

8:30

I'm in glam as we're about to go up to the

8:32

red carpet. Because it

8:34

just feels raw. I think

8:36

doing it any other time just

8:39

doesn't hit the same way. Or

8:41

I'll do it, I'll think about it when

8:44

I'm on a plane. There's something lovely about

8:46

being on a plane because it's just like

8:48

this forced time out, especially

8:50

with my busy schedule to just like, woosah.

8:55

And yeah, usually

8:57

it's the plane I'll begin to think

8:59

about it. And

9:03

during the glam is when I'll start to

9:05

write it. I've been

9:07

debating whether or not it's funny

9:10

like on Instagram or in

9:12

other places, or at

9:14

a restaurant. If there's like

9:16

good quotes, I'm like, oh, let me, let

9:18

me screen shut that. Let me write that

9:20

down. Just not like I'm about

9:22

to fill it all with quotes by random people, but

9:25

you know, like, well, because there's

9:27

pressure of like saying something epic.

9:31

And I'm just trying to be true to myself.

9:34

But I think it would not be

9:36

good for me if I did it really

9:39

in the moment. Just because

9:41

there's so much nerve. It's a it's a wild

9:43

thing to be sitting there

9:46

and then people are screaming and yelling and

9:49

clapping and cheering, which is the

9:51

most beautiful, one of

9:53

the most beautiful sounds. But

9:55

it's it. Could be intimidating. It

9:57

could be overwhelming. They

10:00

are still like com your nervous

10:02

system and go up there and

10:04

deliver this beautiful. As

10:06

beautiful speeds sewn. Some

10:10

I think about in Missouri really

10:12

don't until literally my mother's like.

10:14

Can. We do it now. A sinner

10:17

might. Say

10:20

Yes! I

10:22

didn't say a come from Money since it

10:24

plays and. Be. So you

10:26

never can think everyone. But

10:28

I tried to. I charted sink different people.

10:31

From not you know the same things as

10:34

a so many more to say that as

10:36

helps me get to where I'm at now.

10:43

Vi I'm on a our public face

10:45

of women who. Travel stories.

10:47

And August and business is totally

10:50

need. An athlete has no. We

10:52

love hearing about your first impressions

10:54

when visiting. Some taste nice. As

10:57

first trip to the Patagonia return

11:00

less than the out and ten

11:02

said I couldn't believe the expanses

11:04

territory. sex scene in combat the

11:06

emptiness in the harsh as really

11:09

I sound transformative or story told

11:11

when safely back on dry land.

11:13

You know things happened every single

11:15

day. I ran out of gas

11:18

on a jet ski in the

11:20

middle of the ocean and I

11:22

was like, what if a sea.

11:24

Creature, come see me. But then I'm

11:27

delusional. I was like calmly friends with

11:29

it and it won't eat me and

11:31

maybe I'll write that back to shore.

11:33

Legs Join. Me that I our company

11:36

every week. The more adventures of women

11:38

who travel resistance. He'll. Pocket. Yeah,

11:45

I mean that was why are so your point about.

11:47

Being. honest wall so kind of needing to

11:50

do it a little been advance if it

11:52

does come across the dinner you've done some

11:54

work there but that i can feel you putting

11:56

forward something genuine and it's tough to do

11:58

that when as you say there's all

12:00

that noise around you. Oh, yeah.

12:03

Yeah, it's an intense feeling.

12:06

And just to try to steady

12:09

yourself. Yeah. So

12:12

over the past few months, you

12:14

and your cast, your director, Alexander Payne, have been

12:17

kind of been locked up as

12:19

a group together. It's been very lovely to see.

12:23

It's a unique thing about film, especially an independent

12:25

film where you make it for a pretty short

12:27

amount of time. You

12:29

finish it, you go do whatever.

12:32

In this case, a strike happened. And

12:35

then you. Yeah, two years. Yeah. And

12:37

then suddenly, you're back

12:39

together, right? And you're, I would

12:41

imagine, getting to know each other in a different kind

12:43

of way. Have you found that at all? Not

12:47

in a different kind of way. I would say deep in it.

12:49

It was just the three of us. We got very

12:52

close. It's like three people being trapped in a blizzard

12:54

for three months. So we got very

12:56

close. I feel like I have a strong sense of

12:58

them all. But

13:00

in this space, it feels like

13:02

we're out of hibernation. So it's

13:04

like, whoa, we're out and about. Because

13:07

we're used to being in small,

13:09

quiet, secluded

13:11

spaces. So that part is

13:13

different. But yeah, deepening it

13:15

and enjoying this with them.

13:17

It's so special and

13:19

it's rare. So to be

13:22

a part of something where people are

13:25

acknowledging it across the board

13:27

is really special. Yeah.

13:31

How did you find that period

13:33

when the film premiered and you

13:36

guys couldn't go to Telluride, say,

13:38

to promote it? I was OK, to be

13:40

honest, because we were

13:43

very lucky to be in

13:45

very good hands, that of Alexander

13:47

and Mark Johnson as producer. So

13:51

we were like, we're good. Whatever is

13:54

supposed to be with this movie, they'll

13:57

carry the torch. They don't need us

13:59

to do this. Of course you feel

14:01

left out, not left out, but of course you

14:03

want to be a part of

14:05

that experience. And

14:07

now I'm like, whoo, that would

14:09

have been too much for me

14:12

to have done all that, then go

14:14

straight into that. What we're doing

14:16

now, I'm tired now. So

14:19

it's... Understandably. Yeah. I'm

14:21

grateful that we had such an

14:23

awesome team that could be by

14:25

our side and really

14:32

champion us in

14:34

a really great way. And

14:36

that the project could ultimately

14:38

speak for itself and

14:42

again be so well received.

14:44

But at that point, I think for quite

14:46

a few actors, it was

14:49

kind of like, it was difficult,

14:52

but it was welcome because some of us, we

14:55

needed a break. I

14:58

just keep going, going, going. And so it was a

15:01

nice forced, like

15:03

sit down, Devont, you're doing way too much.

15:06

So I try to enjoy

15:08

it to the best of my ability, but

15:10

of course you get it achieved because

15:13

you want to do all the things,

15:16

but it was nice to like chill

15:19

out. Were you able to do anything

15:21

that helped with the chilling out in that moment? Fashion

15:24

week or fashion month. I

15:27

was in New York, then went to

15:29

Milan and Paris. So that was what

15:31

most of my time,

15:33

that was a whole month, a

15:37

majority of the time was doing

15:39

that, which was lovely. And

15:42

I'm very blessed and grateful to have had the

15:44

opportunity to experience that.

15:46

I know that wasn't the case

15:48

for many people and many people were

15:51

actually having a very hard time

15:54

due to the lack of work. So

15:57

I acknowledge and accept my privilege

15:59

in that moment. But

16:01

it was a great time. One

16:05

of the things I've especially appreciated about

16:07

this award season is seeing actors like

16:09

you and others who have

16:12

been faces we've known for a number of years get

16:15

a kind of moment, right?

16:18

It happened, I think, for your co-star,

16:20

Paul Giamatti certainly. Oh, yeah. He's

16:23

nominated along Coleman Domingo, Jeffrey

16:25

Wright, these other first-time nominees.

16:29

Which is crazy about Jeffrey Wright, but

16:31

you're actually not here, no, you're here.

16:33

Insane. He told me that at

16:35

an after-party of Golden Globes, and I

16:38

was like, you cannot

16:40

be serious. But nonetheless,

16:43

it has happened now. It

16:46

has happened now. It is very overdue. I could

16:48

not agree with you more. We

16:51

could get into that, certainly. I'm

16:53

curious how you've experienced

16:58

being on the journey with some of those people. Obviously,

17:00

you've been closest with Paul, but seeing all

17:02

of these actors this year who've

17:04

had different kinds of careers get

17:07

to this kind of meeting point, including yourself. It's

17:10

beautiful. It's sometimes my favorite part

17:13

of all of it, to see

17:15

the ragtag group of actors

17:18

at these events, because after

17:20

a while, it starts

17:22

repeating itself. A little bit. In

17:25

a good way. In the

17:28

beginning, quote unquote, phase one, it was like,

17:30

how's it going to all turn out? And

17:34

then phase two, you're like, okay, so what's us? But

17:38

everyone's so lovely and wonderful

17:40

and warm and kind. I

17:43

can't believe that I get opportunities to spend

17:46

time with, let alone being

17:48

the same room with, and talk

17:50

to these people. It's wild. Because

17:53

to me, I'm like, you're on

17:55

my TV screen. I

17:57

don't. And I Get to talk to you.

18:00

The Right Now. Swales.

18:02

I'd love to go back a little

18:04

bit. I loved your performance and all

18:06

my is my name. As a a

18:08

year Alexander Payne did as well. Ah

18:10

some Indian company where. Did

18:13

you experience any of this back then and

18:16

obviously was? It was a weird time cause

18:18

a lot of people did talk about your

18:20

performance there and then Pandemic happened shortly thereafter.

18:23

Jazz fit them. It was like

18:25

slowly afternoon armor of February. I

18:28

was like a system set up

18:30

but we like completed the oscars

18:33

and then amelie sit down right

18:35

and so on. It

18:37

was it was similar I was say

18:40

upwards to this point at the same

18:42

experience not the same as soon as

18:44

but the busy schedule up until late.

18:47

Last week or two weeks ago. Like

18:49

that's when it then slowdown. I was

18:52

very grateful because. Eddie.

18:54

Murphy agreed him wanted to have

18:56

or presses it's the he was

18:58

going to the acid are those

19:00

who as well which is. Amazing!

19:03

a dream. So I was at

19:06

a little bit of practice with

19:08

this know to some degree I

19:10

was there was a nominated yeah

19:13

sega were discussing him seeking Aca

19:15

participates in Tinder. Unfortunate incidents are

19:17

not that way but it was

19:20

beautiful and that yes or got

19:22

a little bit of practice. In

19:26

like you know gone to the

19:28

events and I remember critics are

19:30

is when the whole cast what

19:32

are most the cat. Was together

19:34

members as a present for Golden

19:37

Globes so he likes know the

19:39

magnitude of this body. I was

19:41

able to. Play to participate

19:44

and to a certain degree be a part of

19:46

it and it might. Oh, and and it. Was.

19:49

Good because the prepare me for this. Before

19:52

that I came to know you as

19:54

a as a guest star. A lot

19:56

of. Interesting. shows like i

19:59

remember seeing you on good wife, this

20:01

is us, Empire. In

20:03

those years when you were, you

20:06

know, a recurring actor kind of jumping from show

20:08

to show, were there any kind of

20:10

distinctive experiences that you had, any people

20:13

you met, anything that you kind of

20:15

learned about the business, particularly the TV

20:17

film part of the business because you've been coming

20:20

from stage obviously that also

20:22

helped you maybe prepare for this moment in a

20:24

way? Theatre, I think, is

20:26

a thing that really prepared me the most

20:28

in regards to the detailed

20:31

storytelling as well as

20:34

the stamina, which

20:38

is what I'm clearly applying right

20:40

now. What we're talking about, yeah. Yeah,

20:43

stamina, theater, TV, I'm trying

20:45

to think. I was very

20:47

lucky to work with some

20:49

great people, Julian Margulies,

20:53

the director that we

20:55

had for most of the episodes of Empire is

20:58

Craig Brewer who ended up directing Dolomite,

21:00

which is ironic because he

21:03

did not tell me about this project, I

21:05

did not know anything about Dolomite and then

21:07

like a couple of months later that

21:10

happened to

21:12

Rajivi Henson. We basically

21:14

had two two-fers, it was just me

21:16

and her for the most part and

21:18

extras. So that was good.

21:21

Any kind of on-the-job

21:24

training is beneficial. I

21:27

think I learned through Empire because

21:30

it was more like an emotional,

21:32

more draining. I think what I learned from

21:34

that was pacing. Through

21:37

comedy, I think I

21:39

learned pacing too as well and saving

21:41

yourself, meaning in between

21:44

takes, don't be running all around and joking and

21:46

all that. It takes

21:48

a lot to do comedy, reserve

21:50

your energy and The

21:52

Guests. I Think it was just

21:54

like being a consummate professional and

21:56

being off-book and being prepared for

21:59

the future. The day on I

22:01

and I started coming as a guest

22:03

star. I can understand and I myself

22:05

this sense of like I just want

22:07

to add to this world. I don't

22:09

want to be a distraction, I don't

22:11

want to take up too much of

22:13

people's time. You mean like let me

22:15

do everything on my and they I

22:17

can to make sure that everything is

22:19

running smoothly. And. We

22:22

had i'm Common Domingo on the So

22:24

and and phase one as as you

22:26

rightly companies are and and he he

22:28

talked about. Doing. A lot of

22:30

those kinds of jobs and in addition

22:32

to dieter like you are saying and

22:35

then out of that. Ceiling.

22:38

Really? Prepared to.

22:41

Take this kind of. Lead.

22:43

Role or in the some rest And

22:45

yeah, some trees for you coming into

22:47

a movie like the holdovers. Ah, there

22:49

is comedy with your time out. There

22:51

is this season, many ways of the

22:54

tragic part of the Somme as well.

22:56

There's a lot yep to bring to

22:58

it and sounds like a lot of

23:00

his experiences that you've had. Informed.

23:02

What you're able to bring to it. I

23:05

can't really pinpoint sister

23:08

three. Phases. As

23:10

a person speaking Mark Coons

23:12

Coors always been star as

23:15

a was just about when.

23:17

The. Right? Project? Was

23:20

lined up for him to really

23:22

sell his staff. The Commons always

23:24

been a star leaving when I

23:27

first saw him in New York.

23:29

Was. The user so cool was Bill

23:31

for this I think is just such

23:33

a beautiful mom to now see. This.

23:37

Com into action. Well.

23:40

Some could say the same of you. I

23:42

might say the same view as a fan

23:44

of a lot of your work on have

23:46

been a star for a long time and

23:49

then a project comes along where it gets

23:51

seen in a different context could seem store

23:53

figure by more people yelling he suggests it

23:55

gets the I mean let's be honest, I

23:57

think that's part of the. honor

24:00

privilege that you

24:02

can have when you

24:04

are doing something with a

24:06

well-respected and recognized

24:09

and well decorated

24:11

director. I knew if

24:13

nothing else this will get seen. What

24:17

they think of what they saw but it'll

24:21

get seen. So that was nice. That

24:24

was nice that it got seen. I'm

24:26

grateful for that. It is cool now because

24:29

now people are

24:32

discovering me for the first time, reacquainting

24:35

themselves, looking at

24:37

the older stuff. It

24:39

was cool. Is

24:42

there anything from that older

24:44

stuff as you say that you

24:46

are excited for people to see that now

24:48

that you have been introduced to a

24:50

new corner of the industry that you have a

24:53

body of work I would say that that you've

24:55

already built up? Yeah, I'm proud of all the

24:57

work I do because I take even

24:59

in the beginning of my career, guest stars and all.

25:01

I was always

25:03

very meticulous about what roles I chose to

25:05

do always. So

25:08

I don't know if

25:10

I thought of one that jump out at me perhaps

25:13

high fidelity, dolomite.

25:17

I don't know if lost that he is yet

25:19

considered vintage but all

25:21

the work I'm really proud of but I

25:24

would say those two maybe are ones

25:27

that stick out to me as like

25:30

ones that I just really feel especially

25:33

proud of. Yeah, high

25:35

fidelity. A great show gone too soon. Yeah,

25:38

I love that show. Well

25:41

in that meticulousness you're talking about obviously

25:44

hopefully from this comes a little

25:46

bit more opportunity. How do you think about the

25:48

kinds of choices you want to make going forward? It's

25:50

the same way of thinking

25:53

and execution

25:56

that I have before.

25:58

There's now nothing's really... change

26:00

for me except

26:02

for some of the

26:04

dreams that I may have had and desires

26:07

for my career may

26:09

more readily be able to happen and

26:12

occur now. Like

26:15

in this sense it's almost like

26:17

being vetted maybe that then

26:19

they're like oh yeah okay yeah you

26:21

got Oscar nominated go maybe we

26:24

look into that now who knows

26:26

but for me it's

26:28

the same I don't really change

26:31

or want to

26:33

completely do a facelift to my career I'm

26:35

proud of the career that I have and

26:38

the roles that I've taken

26:40

and I just want to

26:43

keep that consistency and that range to

26:45

be honest that's the biggest thing to

26:47

me. Yeah range is like one

26:49

of the first things I think of with your

26:51

career is it does feel like from role to

26:53

role. Thank you very much. You pick very different

26:55

kinds of projects. Yes I

26:58

intentionally literally if I'm

27:00

currently working on something like

27:02

when I was filming Ruston playing

27:05

like the church

27:07

lady of all church ladies we

27:09

got a call from me to play

27:13

a drug-slinging slick

27:15

talking stud and

27:18

I was like yep sounds

27:21

perfect because swinging on

27:23

that pendulum of personalities

27:26

and roles is

27:28

how I stretch within

27:30

myself my craft. So

27:34

if I just stick

27:36

with the same kind

27:38

of roles characters

27:41

I have a fear that

27:43

I'll grow stale and

27:45

I don't want people to be

27:48

able to put their nose on you know

27:50

what I mean like on new tv show

27:52

what they might oh I know I know what that

27:55

is I know what she's going to do no

27:57

no no no I never ever ever want that. So

27:59

far. You're definitely good. I do not

28:01

know what you're gonna do. Thank you Thank

28:05

you. I want cuz I want it to be fun

28:07

for all of us. Yeah, you know what I

28:09

mean? I want it to be enjoyable for you

David Hanfield, 90s. Our

30:29

editor and producer, as always, is Wendy. We've

30:41

all been there before. You're planning a dinner

30:43

party or having family over or even just

30:46

cooking for yourself. When all of

30:48

a sudden it starts to feel overwhelming.

30:51

I live in a very small one-bedroom

30:53

apartment with a very small kitchen. I

30:55

can't figure out what to serve besides

30:57

water soup at this point. I'm Chris

31:00

Morocco, food director of Bon Appetit and

31:02

Epicurious. And this is

31:04

Dinner SOS, a new podcast from

31:06

Bon Appetit. Maybe it's

31:08

a last-minute party with no menu

31:10

inspiration, a kitchen with no space,

31:13

a toddler who will only eat buttered pasta.

31:16

Name your dinner emergency. We're here

31:18

to help. Here's how the

31:20

show works. On each episode, we'll take a

31:22

call from a home cook facing a real

31:25

dinner emergency. And I'll work

31:27

with one of our editors for someone from

31:29

our amazing test kitchen to try and solve

31:31

it. Because cooking for the people you love

31:33

should inspire joy without a

31:35

side of stress. Make

31:37

sure you're following Dinner SOS wherever you're

31:39

listening to.
