To round off the year, here are some choice cuts from the Allusionist vault of interesting things that guests said that there wasn’t room for in the original episodes.

Kate Lister, historian and author, who appeared on the episode My Dad Excavated A Porno.
MiMi Aye, food writer and cohost of MSG Podcast, who talked about the challenges of writing recipes in Food Into Words.
