In 2020 my best friend introduced me to the world of cider and cider making. With no previous background in alcohol production it was easy to feel overwhelmed a times by the steep learning curve. Recently he introduced me to this podcast. Since then Ria, and her many highly qualified, and...Read full review »

Great topic, great idea, but there are too many episodes and too many minutes that are just un-listenable. This podcast needs to be shorter, edited, and less frequent.

*After giving them months of a trial more and having listened to most of their episodes, I just can't do it anymore. They are actually getting worse at it and more amateur. It's as if Ria is a failed local NPR children's show host. Maybe it's because I'm a broadcast journalist with the US...Read full review »

I first discovered Cider Chat in 2016 when I was looking into how cider is created commercially. Ria's approach to the process is nothing sort of extraordinary. She creates access with some of the world's most interesting people actually doing the work. Anyone interested in the beverage industry...Read full review »

Informative and easy to use! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/04/16
Fun to listen to all the different cider makers and approaches. Ria finds great guests and always good conversations. Good for cider enthusiasts of course but I think good for anyone interested in craft food and beverage. Very listenable.

I've been listening to Cider Chat on the road between Guelph and our cider apple test orchard in Simcoe. As a graduate student working on cider apples, I've found that the perspectives of growers and others involved in making and selling cider are invaluable. What I love most about Cider Chat is...Read full review »

The title says it all. Ria does a great job with her interviews and content. However, the music playing in the background during interviews is distracting at best and can, at times, really detract from the interview. The use of repetitive samples ("Going up.") coupled with the background music...Read full review »

Ria makes one blindingly good podcast after another. I love her relaxed style and her highly informed questions.

Ria has done a great job tracking down diverse people from the cider scene. Her tone is fun and casual, and she chats with her own cider knowledge and understanding as a backdrop. As a home cider maker and hobbyist, I can't get enough cider conversation. Thumbs up!
