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.
