Our interview with Matthew Schneier is critically delicious. Matthew—chief restaurant critic for New York Magazine—made his glorious return to to the show nearly 6 years later to the day to expand our palate on buying socks once a quarter, the honor and privilege of having the best job in the world, whether or not there is any redeemable value of TikTok restaurant reviews and if they're actually being encouraged, his own phone eating first, behind every good food critic is a better team of health and wellness professionals keeping their waistline in check, the critic's responsibility to the people, vibes vs. what's on the plate, a return to weirdness, can he even grab a casual bite anymore, a plethora of food and drink trend forecasting, NYC's glorious history of restaurants and their respective scenes, immediate green flags and pet peeves when eating out, chomping on brains and slurping shaft, being engaged to a Greek comedian podcaster, hanging with Ina Garten and Martha Stewart, his last meal on earth, the childhood dream of being a waiter, does he miss anything about working in fashion, the joys of becoming a local, the clothing to homegoods pipeline, the art of managing expectations and much more on Matthew Schneier's interview with The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
