“How incredibly insensitive and ignorant but maybe done on purpose to interview and air this episode with Gary Lineker now . I have been a loyal listener to The Food Programme for years but why air this now , given Gary Linekers outspoken and in breach of BBC guidelines , public views over...”Read full review »

“Great program on bitter greens and health. So why is the BBC Food Programme hosting ads from one of the most destructive companies in the world, and the promoter of the least nutritious food in the galaxy, McDonald’s? Are sponsors for healthy food that hard to find? McDonald’s is unsustainable,...”Read full review »

“Love listening to this podcast! I learn so much as the information is so digestible. Would you considering doing a mini series on the origins and history of certain foods? Perhaps an episode per month of a vegetable/fruit in season. Like the history of the tomato - where it came from in the...”Read full review »

I’ve always had a slow cooker and microwave, now I’ve added an a air fryer and a pressure cooker, all run on electricity. The monies and time spent is amazingly...”Read full review »

“Sheila Dillon is at the helm. Sadly Dan doesn’t cut it for me. No bite and rather bland. I do hope he’s not limbering up to take over.
Also the latest episode about Avocados -if I hear the presenter say ‘WOW’ one more time…”

“Jaega does not have much ability as a presenter yet. She needs more insight, more welly and more polish too. She is unable to debate issues with her interviewees and it makes for uncomfortable listening, especially as her delivery is still flat and unengaging. Hopefully she will blossom in those...”Read full review »

“I am a long time listener of The Food Programme but like a bag of pre-packed supermarket lettuce, it can be very hit and miss - very mixed and sometimes crisp and fresh and at other times, rather limp and tasteless. It is fair to say that they cover a really wide range of topics and presenting...”Read full review »

“A dour presenting style contrasted with ramped up sound design from an audio library of the ‘bleeding obvious’. Xmas edition particularly bad for this. Cheer up & cut the tunes - we know what Christmas sounds like.”

“Interesting variety of subjects. I enjoyed the topics on chefs, blue fin tuna. The interview questions are great open-ended ones. I had to skip some of the 2018 episodes because host, a British woman, tends to have this intolerable dragging vocal fry.”

“There are two Sheila’s that I am in love with. Sheila Dylan, the host of this great show and Sheila from Wild Wild Country. If only I had a time machine. For now, listen to The episode about Patience Grey. And another favourite is called “a fat lot of good”. Both fascinating.”
