Katie's Crib

Hi, Katie's Crib fans! We're excited to tell you about The Flaky Biscuit, the newest podcast from Shondaland Audio and iHeartPodcasts. Hosted by baker and cookbook author Bryan Ford, we think you'll enjoy this show's infusion of cooking and connection. You don't have to only take our word for it, though. Check out the trailer today for yourself!

About Flaky Biscuit: Welcome to The Flaky Biscuit Podcast! Each episode, award-winning baker, Bryan Ford, welcomes fellow chefs, comedians, actors, musicians, change makers and more to his kitchen table. The guest's favorite, most nostalgic meal sets the tone for the stories of their childhood, growth, failure, triumph, and everything in between. These meals could be anything from a homemade version of a packaged baked good like a Twinkie, to re-creations of a special family gumbo. Bryan will do his best to make these from SCRATCH! Bryan’s goal is to elicit the Proust Effect for his guests, where special memories are triggered by food. Guaranteed for lots of laughs, Bryan doesn’t always get the meal quite right, but they always have fun, get real, and share something delicious.

In our latest episode of “Katie’s Crib,” Katie reunites with Troian Bellisario for an exciting THIRD appearance on the show! As Troian has previously been on the podcast during Seasons 4 and 2, Katie digs into updates on the actresses’ parenting experiences since becoming a mother of two. 

The “Pretty Little Liars” star first opens up about her exhaustion from constantly being asked if she plans to have another child, and the societal pressure that comes along with it. She also discusses work-life balance, and how she prepares her kids for when she has to travel for work without them. 

The two-time Teen Choice Awards winner also shares her older daughter's involvement in language immersion school and extracurricular activities thus far. She opens up about the opportunities in exploring both, including her thoughts on child acting.  

Plus, fun fact: did you know that Troian and her husband Patrick prefers being called “”mama” and “papa" instead of "mommy" and "daddy”? Tune in for the reasoning of such endearing names in this very special episode!
