About this episode

Ed Levine interviews James Poniewozik about the final season of The Bear and its characters.

If there is a smarter or better TV critic than T he New York Times 's James Poniewozik I have yet to come across him or her. So when I was dying to talk to someone about The Bear 's moving final season I rang up James and he graciously agreed to come on Special Sauce to talk about it. We had a blast talking about Carmy and Sydney and all the other finely etched characters on the show. Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
