Lunch Therapy is Comfort Food
Lunch Therapy by Adam Roberts is my favorite podcast. I have enjoyed Adam’s voice, humor, perspective of food as a home cook and enthusiastic eater and the slice of life he has shared widely for years, via his blog, tv writing and Instagram—listening to his podcast is the natural extension of that. I am even getting to know how his actual human voice actually sounds which is a nice loop back to humanity. I could review each episode individually, if there were a million more hours in the week, because I often find myself having a comment or question, or wanting to give a nod of “I see what you did there!” I have found that Adam is consistently funny, playful and engaging as a host, and if I like a certain episode more than others, it is due to the guest. Adam shares, forges connections in a short window, and draws people’s upbringing, food history and current relationship with food into the light with ease. What I find occasionally baffling in the content is the world that LA people, particularly in the TV industry inhabit. For a Midwesterner, it can occasionally be like hearing about an alternate universe where your diet and exercise inhabit a prominent public part of life but I don’t hate having a little window into the lifestyle of people who work around Hollywood, and live where it is always summer. What always comes through in listening to an episode of Lunch Therapy is a little insight into where a guest comes from, their food memories, where food resides in their current life, and truly, just the intriguing fact of what a person eats for lunch and dinner. I consider getting to eat daily to be such a gift and a matter of importance. Clearly Adam Roberts also believes that there is more to a meal than mere fuel. I am definitely coming back to hear what other guests have to say about their lunches and upcoming dinner ever week, and even more, what that meal says about them. Also, ps, I liked hearing from Craig in the intro too! Bring him back!

What a great way to find out about the food people who have inspired us! Adam asks thoughtful, intelligent, and deep questions that engage the listener. He has the ability to listen to his guest as well as probe deeper for the unanswered questions. What a delight!

Very entertaining podcast, love the different angles Adam pursues with his guests, finding out tidbits from guests like David Leibovitz and Deb Perelman that I might not have known otherwise. Perfect blend of humor, storytelling and food-related content.

While being entertaining and playful. Adam is a very good interviewer and listener. Clearly a lot of hard work goes into these. Also, he has a great sense of who would make good guests. Looking forward to who shows up next.
