from Funniest Stuff Today · host Podcaster

When a San Francisco bakery's sourdough starter went missing, it triggered a neighborhood investigation involving Ring doorbell footage, Nextdoor vigilantes, and a surprisingly passionate community of bread enthusiasts who treated the theft like a kidnapping. What started as missing fermented flour somehow escalated into accusations of corporate espionage and a crowdfunded reward fund. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
