“Smart Mouth has been a wonderful look into the history of food and the future of recipes. Interviews are quick witted and the historical details are top notch (particularly the episde about Toll House cookies). If you live in the LA area, Katherine is a great follow to let you know the best...”Read full review »

“Loving this podcast. The host, Katherine, is funny and passionate. I never thought I would care about highly specific morsels of food history but here we are. It’s also very much not just about food, though. This show has a POV and a personality and I have laughed out loud several times. Recommend!”

“I found this podcast through Alie Ward, host of Ologies, and have since been unable to separate from it! I anxiously await every new episode, salivating by the end and full of knowledge and nostalgia. Learning about the history and colonization behind our most iconic dishes/ingredients, hearing...”Read full review »

“Only listened to one episode- admittedly an old one for a specific interview but not definitively researched enough and just did not like the interview style /editorial direction. Maybe some of the history is correct but she doesn’t exude confidence, and thus I feel it is more of a “I heard this...”Read full review »

“I really like this podcast when the topic is completely food, when it strays into babbling left wing politics is when it goes down hill. The Iceland broccoli episode is a case in point. Crying about a president 20 years ago doesn’t really go with broccoli.”

“Love this podcast; it’s super fun!
She covers pretty much all food types. I think I like the longer episodes better because usually those delve into food history a little bit more, which I find fascinating and often wild.
I do wish the host wasn’t so opposed to people who have different...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast!! The host, Katherine, and her guests always have great rapport, and I love how she uses food as the centerpiece of the interviews, but the guests end up filling in the ‘food history’ aspect with their personal memories and stories AROUND the food in question. Always such a fun...”Read full review »
