[Ron Upshaw and Don O’Neill](https://ronanddon.com/radio/?ref=cascadepbs.org#listen) are longtime radio partners who spent decades moving around the country together, hosting all kinds of big-market radio shows. And YLM host [Rachel Belle ](https://www.instagram.com/hellorachelbelle/?ref=cascadepbs.org)was a part of *The Ron & Don Show* on KIRO Radio for a decade!

Ron and Don have worked together since they were teenagers, in all sorts of professions. What keeps two people working together for 40 years? We will discuss!

Don adores cherry pie, so I chat with a 25-year-old entrepreneur from Traverse City, Michigan, who is trying to [reclaim his hometown’s lost Guinness World Record](https://www.gofundme.com/f/thebigpieprojecttc?fbclid=IwAR1i1XySu13Ql9z6mWMi7356%5FfzyGRYDNuRutf8iUc1jPMYBd5iPsgBZOlc&ref=cascadepbs.org) by making the world’s largest cherry pie.

Andcould you make it through a50-coursedinner? We’ll talk about the pros and cons of fancy tasting menus with food writer [Charmaine Mok](https://www.scmp.com/magazines/post-magazine/food-drink/article/3222968/are-tasting-menus-worth-it-not-ones-run-hours-end-and-make-you-feel-if-you-have-been-taken-hostage?ref=cascadepbs.org)
