We Eat Stories For Breakfast is a thoughtful, genuine conversation show that explores the integral role of storytelling in the human experience. Each week, hosts Adam and Chandler invite a diverse array of storytellers - from authors and musicians to performers and podcast creators - to uncover what story means to them.
Rather than centering the podcast around their own personalities, Adam and Chandler act as facilitators, guiding guests to share their unique perspectives on the power of stories. Whether unpacking how stories impact our daily lives, or delving into the creative process behind different mediums of storytelling, the conversations aim to illuminate the myriad ways that narrative shapes our world.
But that's not all - Chandler and Adam also have a playful tradition of asking each guest to share their favorite or go-to breakfast. They then make, eat, and rank the breakfast dishes in a highly competitive (and mouth-watering) weekly tier list.
With a serious yet playful dynamic, Adam and Chandler foster an atmosphere of genuine curiosity and camaraderie. Their wide-ranging guests provide a glimpse into the story-rich lives of artists, creatives, and everyday people, showing just how integral storytelling is to the human condition.
So join Chandler and Adam each week as they sit down with story-loving guests and explore why “We eat stories for breakfast."
