Anthony Bourdain with Drew DiFonzo Marks and Toni Charline

from Open to Suggestion · host James Mastraieni and Mike McLendon

Drew DeFonzo Marks and Toni Charlene join James and Mike for an episode inspired by the words and worldview of Anthony Bourdain. Pulling from his quotes on food, travel, and culture, the group turns observations about meals, missteps abroad, and everyday rituals into a series of scenesspanning disastrous vacations, questionable restaurant etiquette, and the strange intimacy of learning how other people live.Plus, on Backdrop.fm, they dive into international improv scenes and what it’s actually like teaching improv overseas—how different cultures approach comedy, what translates across borders, and what performing abroad reveals about listening, clarity, and connection.
