Recipe for Crazy
Alanna Noel — writer, producer, and content creator best known for narrating her mental breakdowns over her meals — brings you a podcast unlike any other. (Actually… it’s probably like the rest of them… but with more garlic and less dignity.)
Recipe for Crazy boldly reclaims the word “crazy” as a term of endearment, power, and, occasionally, self-diagnosis. No thought is too wild, no ex is too innocent, and no recipe is too questionable.
Step inside Alanna’s world of unfiltered thoughts, home-cooked chaos, love, sex, existential spirals, and absolutely zero qualified opinions. It’s kitchen table talk… but the table is on fire and the narrator should probably be in a padded room but opted for a microphone instead.
Recipe for Crazy
Addicted to Courtney Robertson
Alanna welcomes her first guest that is not biologically connected to her, the legendary Courtney Robertson from the 16th season of The Bachelor. The former contestant and producer duo compare show experiences before addressing their deep rooted relationships with addiction and opening up on emotional experiences never shared publicly. And yes... they address the "Bleep."
