Massive apologies to the person who relies on Tuesday's Radio Free Bakersfield podcast. It got lost in yesterday's monster dust storm. Here it is and it comes with the obligatory language warning. Good listening nevertheless.

I've become a bit obsessed recently with a show on BBC America called "You are What You Eat." The show's host, Holistic nutritionist Gillian McKeith, works with unhealthy eaters to break a lifetime of bad habits in eight weeks. They really seem to be glowing and healthy even after 2...

Here are some recent reviews on the Inside Guide that made me giggle.
I enjoy getting lunch here, especially when I have coworkers in from out of town. Nothing like good nose running chile verde to make your day a little spicier.

I can’t tell you how many places I’ve wasted money and killed my taste buds on recommendations of friends. I’ve found the places they love totally disgusting. I started to think that my friends just had bad taste, but then I realized that they chose me as a friend. Yikes!
