Twist Podcast 333: Laid Back in Lancaster, Chocolate Pretzel Paradise, and Prance Reviews 'The Odyssey'
Saturday, 25 July, 2026

This week Mark and Rick kick back and slow it down a look at Mark's trip to Lancaster, PA—Pennsylvania Dutch Country and, as it turns out, the self-proclaimed pretzel capital of America. They talk Amish countryside charm, why a chocolate pretzel from the source hits different, and what makes Lancaster a perfect getaway. Then it's time for Prance to turn the lens on Homer's classic and current culture war lighting rod. Does the epic hold up? Does Odysseus deserve the hype? Prance has thoughts. Laid back vibes, small-town charm, and one very opinionated take on ancient Greek literature—it's all here on episode 333 of The Twist.
