Love a systems-wide approach to looking at food stories, and very thoughtful production and storytelling.

This podcast is a must-listen for anyone. We must rethink how we approach food, the way we eat it, prepare it, and grow it, and Point of Origin provides an insightful and thoughtful lens into a better food system.

Great podcast with so many great conversations, education, and information. Thought provoking and original content about the point of origin of our food systems. Only critic would be some of the background music overwhelms the dialogue, especially on the episode “farming while black” while...Read full review »

The content of this podcast is so rich and informative, every episode makes me think differently about a food I’ve been consuming for years or my whole life. I think the audio editing could be cleaner, in the episodes I’ve heard the volume of the talking is super low and the ads are really loud,...Read full review »

I love this smart and informative podcast.

before I go on, I just want to be very clear that I love this podcast and will continue to listen and recommend. That said, in the latest episode, when the topic of Cuba comes up there a few facts that need to be checked. First of all Cuba is not a socialist country, it is a communist country....Read full review »

Really enjoy hearing voices of activists and people within communities do good work. The fact is that food access, health, justice, distribution etc is so complex and pt of origin untangles some threads. Thx guys.

I went to play one episode my sister to me, and have had this on for hours! Every episode is inquisitive, thoughtful, and super well done. Excited to hear season two & thank you to Whetstone!
gdav13 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/02/20
I listen to a lot of food and agriculture podcasts and this one stands out with refreshing, detailed stories that aren’t getting enough attention. The tone is critical and curious, never preachy. Excellent production, I am riveted every time.
redxandra via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/02/20
Absolutely in love with how well researched and beautifully narrated each episode is. Well done to the entire Whetstone team 👏🏾
Roha Daud via Apple Podcasts · United Arab Emirates · 12/01/20
I just listened to the episode about the USDA, milk, lobbyists and white supremacy. I grew up on a dairy farm and I’ve gone on to work in food. It is so important to understand how we are being manipulated by our government and how we even pay for it. I am looking forward to listening to more...Read full review »

I’m only four in and I’m so sad I’m been spending time on other podcasts! It’s fantastic. Thank you for your work.

Wise, rich, ancestral, political and amplified information and discussion about global Indigenous food systems . A focus on the past stories of key influencers on food security and sovereignty issues and what continues to prevail through the lens of unpacking the social and political constructs...Read full review »

Each episode makes me think about food in ways I wouldn’t have expected before. If you want to be more conscious about where your food comes from and what it means this podcast is a must-listen.
stellerjays via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/24/20
Poorly researched, one-sided vegan propaganda from people with Trump Derangement Syndrome. Not what I hoped for. Read “sacred cow” if you want a real nuanced conversation on the topic.
DeeDee9000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/20
I enjoy each and every episode, always fascinated to discover and/ or uncover something new. But - what I love even more is that my 12 year old son actually enjoys it too ❤️Thank you
1 busy mom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/15/20
This show is brilliant and the topics covered are so critical. Thank you !!
crinklecutbb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/07/20
if you have any interest in learning more about indigenous food pathways, food equity, and more related topics this is THE BEST podcast.
amyrsaxton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/20
Very good podcast and very important conversation here about food, culture and Indigeneity ✊🏾✊🏾. Audio level is too low, and not consistent, so when the advert with ‘normal’ audio level plays it hurts my ears.

I love this podcast, and I would love to meet Stephen Satterfield and drink a glass of wine, cider or beer with him! This podcast is intelligent, and I’ve learned so much from it! Thank you Point Of Origin! And I hope to be getting a subscription to Whetstone magazine for my birthday!
Gabbycat5 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/20
I was really interested in this podcast but I’m HOH and it’s just so quiet! Even ads for thispodcast aren’t at a normal volume.
MorganAndie via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/22/20
Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Well-researched, excellent narration, informative interviews, and perfectly designed podcast. Thank you!
tinu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/14/20
I thought this was such an interesting and troubling story. We so often ignore the the impact of our choices. I thought the point on daily indulgence in the end was a brilliant point. Thanks for sharing!
ZBCheeseMonger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/07/20
Point of Origin should be on every school curriculum. It’s both educational and entertaining, a brilliant production. Two episodes on rice were my favourite so far, but it’s well worth listening to all of them from the beginning if you are (like me) finding it two seasons in. Thank you Melissa,...Read full review »
SvetlanaPe via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 10/01/20
The shows sound like they’re excellent, from what I can hear. But it’s very, very quiet (I listen on Spotify). Besides making it sound amateurish, and being hard to follow, I end up hating the sponsors, because when their spots come on, they’re all YELLING VERY LOUD at me.
RosyF50 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/20
Good background information on the food cultures of the world. Easy conversational listening and educational. We are all connected by food and this show tells of the diversity of our food cultures. Thanks!
Clean Slate Farm via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/21/20
I can’t imagine a podcast more suited for anyone who loves food and wants to dig deeper into the history behind what people eat! Just listen and enjoy!
TheJoJoBee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/20
I’ve instantly become a huge fan and will recommend this podcast to anyone who will listen. Really thoughtful interviews and stories featured, with interviewees you can’t help but be inspired by. Does a great job of recognizing systemic/historical issues within food systems, while lifting up the...Read full review »

I’ve listened to a handful of episodes and really enjoy this! If you are interested in food at all, but especially ‘slow’ food and artisans, this is your podcast! Really cool topics and the guests are doing amazing things in the food world. I love how diverse it is - many different geographical...Read full review »

Can’t wait for season 3! Even when I’ve already read/heard interviews with Stephen’s guests before, his conversations and the show’s different segments always give me something I haven’t heard before
ArtemioBaklava via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/28/20
When a creative endeavor hits all the right notes, all else falls away. You realize just how much noise exists. Point of Origin deserves all the superlatives. Stephen Satterfield is an excellent interviewer who understands how to ask a concise question and leave the airtime to the guest. I’m...Read full review »

readingdeys via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/20
About our (broken) food system, food justice (for all and not just for some), and want to build a holistic understanding around the food we eat, then listen to this podcast. Each episode is informative, inspiring, and engaging.
jrypu79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/20
that complement Whetstone magazine perfectly. Fascinating interviews that gracefully point out just how much food is political and also bound up with identity. Perfect listening for when you want to slow down and learn something new. Stephen is an excellent interviewer who gives the talented...Read full review »

Absolutely enlightening, well researched with fascinating guests shining a light on food, culture, and identity. Stephen asks probing questions but never resorts to jargon, so it’s accessible for all. The epitome of “food for thought”
carineinalbion via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/11/20
A masterclass in how to do a podcast, engaging, researched and diverse. But most importantly, this is what food media should be - and incredible range of topics with excellent storytelling.
A_SM via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/23/20
I am wholeheartedly enjoying Point of Origin’s approach to tracing the connections and histories of a wide array of foods and related topics. I also think Stephen Satterfield has one of the very best podcasting voices I’ve ever heard: warm, mellifluous, velvety - I can listen to him for hours. So...Read full review »

I heard only one episode. But it was quite good. Informative, interesting and with great quality. Thanks 👍👍👍
Джон марволо via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 04/10/20
Good show with interesting stories. However, the host needs to go. Not necessarily because he is a bad journalist, but his monotone voice makes the audience feel sleepy, uninterested. A good host needs an inviting voice and he is just not it.
Roxymph via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/01/20
Wonderfully thorough and amazing in breadth. Bravo! Can’t wait for future episodes.
Pang Dynasty via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 03/19/20

This podcast just goes from strength to strength! Very varied, really interesting & presented in such an accessible way. I want to go to all the places you talk about. Look forward to every episode & will definitely listen to them again & again.
YogiLisaUK via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 03/11/20
I absolutely love this! Great story telling through an informative lens! The questions and topics are great and interwoven so well. I love the discussions on historical context up to today.
