Sure, online videos pertaining to fiery foods are no new thing, but I’ve batted around the idea of something closer to a chile and hot sauce related television program for many a moon. I finally decided on a compromise of sorts; it would be a multi-segment video podcast hosted on YouTube. My “pilot” episode debuted a few weeks ago, and now that my yearly vacation (or as your Brits would call it, “going on holiday”) is mostly done, I can focus on creating a new video every week.
