RICE CAKES AND PEARS

What’s up, I’m Zach, and I was on a diet of rice and pears for 8 whole years! I have an incurable disease (Eosinophilic Esophagitis) that really isolated me from everyone else. For so long, I tried to fit in with those around me. Then one day, I realized my true identity... I am a weirdo.

Rice Cakes and Pears provides a platform where weirdos can shine! A space that welcomes unique stories/perspectives. A podcast people with chronic/mental illness can relate to. Now, go ahead, pop open a can of pears, and shove a rice cake in your mouth! You won’t regret it.
