Are You Gonna Eat That? A Conversation with Jordan Robinson
How old is that thing in the back of your refrigerator? And more importantly… are you gonna eat that?
This week on Everyday Macaroni, Joy sits down with Jordan Robinson, creator of the Anxin app, to talk about food safety, food recalls, restaurant inspections, mystery leftovers—and why the old-fashioned sniff test may not be quite enough anymore.
With a background in cybersecurity, Jordan had an intriguing idea: What if we protected ourselves and our families from food-related risks the same way we protect computers from threats? The result was Anxin—a kind of Swiss Army knife for family food safety.
Anxin brings together tools to help families keep track of groceries and leftovers, monitor food recalls, check restaurant inspection information, learn more about ingredients and potential medication interactions, and even locate food banks in their communities.
And because this is Everyday Macaroni, we also tackle the really important questions:
How long is too long for something to live in your freezer?Is an expiration date a rule—or merely a suggestion?Can a pickle actually go bad?And should questionable cold cuts ever find their way into the family lasagna?
Jordan and Joy also talk about misinformation surrounding food recalls, cybersecurity and privacy, caring for kids and aging family members, food insecurity, and how having better information can help families make better-informed decisions.
Because taking care of your family happens in a thousand little ways—and sometimes it starts with opening the refrigerator and asking:
“Are you gonna eat that?”

Thanks for listening to Everyday Macaroni—where family life is rarely perfect, usually funny, and apparently sometimes requires a food-safety app.
And remember: when the sniff test isn't enough… maybe check Anxin before you take a bite.

Who’s Your Daddy A Conversation with Daniel Bayen
What happens when someone who was donor-conceived grows up and decides to become a donor himself?
In this episode, we sit down with Daniel Bayen—better known as Donor Dan—founder of the Open Donor Association. Dan shares what it was like being raised by a single mother by choice, growing up knowing he was donor-conceived, eventually building a relationship with his biological father, and discovering a very large extended family that includes 22 half-siblings.
We also talk about why Danl decided to become a donor himself, the importance he places on openness and transparency, and some of the complicated questions surrounding donor conception, identity, stigma, and what it means to be a family.
It’s a fascinating—and at times funny—conversation about one very unconventional family tree and a simple idea we come back to again and again: families don’t all have to look the same to be great families.

Never Give Up – A Conversation with Jon Gegenheimer
What can courtrooms, Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill — and a round of golf — teach us about human nature?
We sit down with longtime attorney, elected court official, veteran and author Jon Gegenheimer to talk about his fascinating journey from the courtroom to writing fiction. Jon shares how his experiences as a military intelligence interrogator and attorney have shaped his storytelling, why reading is essential to becoming a good writer, and what decades of observing people have taught him about character, leadership and perseverance.
We also dive into The Griffin Murders, his love of Dickens and classic mysteries, and his latest novel, Churchill vs. Hitler: The Untold Golf Match that Changed History — an imaginative story with some surprisingly timely lessons about history, appeasement and why, as Churchill famously urged, we should never give up.
It’s a fun, wide-ranging conversation about books, history, law, golf, writing and the experiences that shape the stories we tell.
