“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 »

“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 »

“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 »

“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.”

“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.”

“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 »

“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.”
