This podcast installment is an entertaining visit with your basic New York character, candy man Jerry Cohen. He's engaging and a bit crusty, blithely undermining the focus of the piece by saying he doesn't like Passover candy--though he eats candy all day and loves eating the ears of broken chocolate Easter bunnies. Host Blake Eskin does a nice job as the curious, good-natured straight man. Nicely produced, a quality production.
Summary: Jerry Cohen, owner of Economy Candy on New York City's Lower East Side, takes Blake Eskin on a tour of the shop's Passover selection (with a few chocolate bunny and marshmellow peep digressions along the way).
