I can’t escape how much the voice of the presenter detracts from how enjoyable this series could be. She sounds irritable, dismissive and accusatory - almost as if the interviewee has unsatisfactory answers or ideas she doesn’t agree with.

The conversation with Sandra oh touched me deeply and brought me back where my former BF “not forever” and I back in the day where we would sit and talk on and on for hours, then changed subjects and we connected in many scales. It’s amazing and interesting how Sandra’s voice created such a calm...Read full review »

Really awesome! Have been following from the beginning and will enjoy these podcasts on my train rides :)

This podcast is both inspirational and lighthearted at the same time. Most guests are from either the food or entertianment industries. While host Lynn Chen discuesses her struggles with an eating disorder, it does not come across in a somber way. Instead the message is that if she came overcame...Read full review »

I first recognized Lynn Chan from Buzzfeed, then came across her podcast while reading up on LA Times' The Taste festival. I love how her blog dives into the world of foodies, nutrition and how creatives and professionals interact with food on a daily basis. It's a daily struggle for me...Read full review »

I am shamefully late in reviewing this podcast…which is likely because I never review anything! I have been a reader of the Actor’s Diet off and on for years, and this podcast is a great extension of her blog—a mix of entertaining commentary about food and eating with thoughtful, honest...Read full review »

One post a week was great but now once a month is unacceptable. What a disappointment!
Montana9221 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/13
This pod cast started out somewhat interesting but quickly getting very interesting-there was a lot of insight on places in LA that others like to dine at. Unfortunately, the posting of the pod casts are getting few and far between; very inconsistent. When I find a podcast I like, I love the...Read full review »

Living in LA now, I can relate to a lot of the food spots Lynn talks about with her guests. I listened to the one with Jamie, Michelle and her bro and it's really entertaining and insightful to learn about the different places to hit up. Really great podcast to listen to if you want to find...Read full review »

Like great comfort food, these conversations are warm, inviting and very filling. From Thick Dumpling Skin and her own personal journey/journal recounts, comes Lynn Chen podcasting her way into our senses as easy as dinner conversation should be. Her guests are honest and grounded, ranging from...Read full review »

If you obsess over food, this is the podcast for you. Lynn does a great job staying on point and keeping most discussions food related.

I have the Actor's Diet podcast right in between Evan Kleinman's Good Food and This American Life on my weekly playlist! Lynn is a natural for this type of thing and as an actor myself, it's fun to hear not only her food stories, but foodie histories from other (real) working...Read full review »

I have been incredibly picky with my podcasts these days, thus leading to hours of "testing" various shows, so when a good one rolls into my queue it makes it all worthwhile. Listening to The Actor's Den, I don't hear Lynn moving question to question, trying to cover all the...Read full review »

Lynn has a voice that is really pleasant to listen to and her podcasts are interesting not just to those in LA but also to us outside the US! She asks her guests interesting questions like about filming with food and I appreciate the insights into this world!

Ellen @ Scrumptious Gruel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/31/13
I ordinarily do not like podcasts. I don't know what it is about them. Sometimes, you can here a disinterest in the voice of the host Sometimes it seems like the host resents being relegated to podcasts as opposed to a broadcast medium. This podcast I liked. You could here genuine...Read full review »

Who doesn't love to talk and hear about food?

Thanks for such a real and raw interview with Tzi, he sounds so friendly and personable! I can definitely relate to all his references to soup being the cure for anything and everything.
