Susan Orlean, Orchids Are the Pizza of the Flower World

Bestselling author Susan Orlean of The New Yorker is our pizza guest. Then there's pizza headlines, and the pizza topic is "pepperoni."

Susan Orlean is a bestselling author and long-time staff writer for The New Yorker. Her 1998 book, “The Orchid Thief," was famously adapted to the film “Adaptation,” in which Meryl Streep plays a version of her. Susan authored 2018’s “The Library Book," 2021’s “On Animals,” and wrote for HBO’s “How To with John Wilson."

In this episode, Susan recalls childhood memories of Cleveland's Little Italy pizza scene, discusses cooking pizzas with her Ooni oven, and if one of the Pizza Pod Party hosts could be a future subject for her.
