Show notes
On this week’s episode, Ilana sits down with Andrew Rea, the self-made YouTuber behind two of the platform’s largest and most influential cooking shows—BINGING WITH BABISH and BASICS WITH BABISH—claiming over 10.5 million subscribers. Andrew shares the radical personal transformation that followed his discovery of anti-depressants as well as mushrooms, boosting his self confidence, and prompting the creative a-ha moment where he began producing YouTube videos by combining his two life long loves: film & food. And the rest is history. Ilana and Andrew discuss the softness that men need, inspiring men to cook, and his new found spirituality. Also that he loves Jews. Come on in, it’s open!
