Hi there, dear friends.
It’s me Joy.
I’m the girl that writes this blog. Yea… hi. Me. Right.
For the last three months, I’ve been working on a big project. Today. Today Today Today is the day that this project grows wings and flies away into the Internet. That’s happening. Right now.
I’d like to introduce you to Homefries.
Homefries is a network of four podcasts. Audio podcasts. For your ears. There’s a video with details and such.
Before you watch the video and explore Homefries, let me tell you more. Seriously… this is some good business.
A podcast is like an independent Internet radio show. It’s tailored just for you… especially if you like things like Joy the Baker, wine, mom stuff, and entertaining.
Homefries. The podcasts:
There’s the Joy the Baker podcast with Tracy from Shutterbean. Tracy and I talk about everything that you want us to talk about. Boys, cameras, baking, kids, marriage, blogs, candy bars, cats, cutting boards… we get really deep.
If our podcast were to be described in a still photo, it might look something like this. Something exactly like this.
You know Tsh from Simple Mom, right? She is the best. Literally. THE BEST. Tsh has a podcast on Homefries. It’s called the Simple Mom Podcast. She talks with other moms from around the blogosphere (don’t like that word) about cool mom stuff. Organizing, intentional living, travel, marriage, balance. Really wonderful. Just lovely.
The Crush is a podcast about wine. But… it’s totally wine talk that you can understand! Listen, I’m not a wine girl. I mean… I’m really good and drinking wine, but if you want to talk about tannins and regions and varietals… um, I’m going to blank stare you. But The Crush! I listen and totally sound like a wine girl when I repeat the things that I learned. Major.
and
The Table Set is a podcast with three gentlemen food bloggers: Andy, Greg, and Nathan. They talk about parties, and how to throw them, and how to stay classy, and how successfully mix beer into your margarita. All extremely valuable information. Trust me. Your summer will thank you.
So how do you listen to a podcast?
Well… you can listen to a podcast on Homefries in a player like the one above. When you’re on Homefries, you can check out the show notes too. You can also download a podcast on Homefries.
Or! You can go to iTunes and subscribe to each podcast. The shows will automatically download onto your ipod, your fancy phone, or your computer We’ll be all up in your ears as you drive to work, waste time at work, fold laundry, run on the treadmill, bake in the kitchen… do it!
We want to be where you are… in podcast form.
Homefries is the creation of me… you know me… Joy the Baker, and my friend Michael. Michael knows all sorts of important things about cameras, audio, video and computer stuff. I know all sorts of important stuff about cinnamon, sugar, butter, and blueberries. We make a pretty good team.
We made this for you. It’s important to us. We really hope you like it.
You all have been so wonderfully supportive of my work here for the past few years… this is something new. This is something big. Please let me know what you think… because it matters.
Love!

Joy. Oh, Joy. This is GREAT. I’ve seen hints that you and Tsh were hanging out on Twitter and such, and to now see why? Fabulous. I used to obsessively read (and write my own) food blogs, but now that I’ve added a kid (with another one on the way) to my life and after I read Tsh’s book (irony), I decided to simplify my life. I shut down My First Kitchen, I sold off most of my food photography props, and now I do the mom thing and cook dinner for my family without having to take photos first. But I miss it. On certain days, I really do miss it. And I can’t obsessively read like I used to since every ounce of free time is occupied with dirty dishes and sleep. But a PODCAST?! From such amazing people on such lovely topics? I can listen while I chase my kid chasing bees in our front yard. While I wash those dishes. While I drive to the grocery store for the umpteenth time because I can’t remember to make a shopping list much less what might be on it. I’m so excited for you, for this, and for the many people who get exposure to you and to these others folks in a new way. Bravo. I am officially a subscriber and can’t wait to start listening.
Kendra!! Thank you so much for the lovely comment! I miss your blog, but I love knowing that you’re thriving in family life! Congratulations! Big hugs!! Yay! I hope I can make your dirty dish washing just a bit more enjoyable. Love!!
Joy,
I have been following your blog for a little while now and have tried a few very successful recipes (I am eating a breakfast of baked oatmeal as we speak). Loved the podcast! I had to share with you the only way to eat Peeps… roasted over a campfire! Peeps are disgusting, vile blobs until they magically get transformed over a fire. The sugary outside gets kinda caramelized and forms a thin shell over the melty marshmellow inside. It was a serendipitous accident a few years back when we had a campfire near Easter and had no other marshmellows in the house. Keep up the great work!
you are so right about roasted peeps!
loved your podcast! listened in the car with my 19 year old. totally loved the sunflower hat story, I can relate. looking forward to episode 2!
LOVE the podcasts!!!! I am currently on day 3 of a 3 day cross country driving adventure and the podcasts helped keep me awake through GA. Neighbor cars may have thought I was a bit possessed because of the way I was laughing out loud at times! I can’t wait to listen to more!
I was listening to the first installment of the Joy the Baker podcast while I ran some errands today and when I left Trader Joe’s, I magically had a carton of chocolate covered sunflower seeds and a bottle of bourbon in my bag. Just thought you should know that if your other listeners are as susceptible to the power of suggestion as I am, you and Tracy might be able to take over the world. ;)
Hello ladies!
I was curious what jobs you two have? Are they jobs in the food business?
Have either of you thought about starting your own bakery/restaurant?
Also, I wanted to know if your blog conference for next year would be open to the public, and if so, how can people find more information on it?
