I can always count on this podcast for a joyful listen even when they talk about some super serious wine news! Love the dad jokes.

Should be eradicated altogether.

Talking to plants was introduced in the 60’s and 70’s, so playing music to wine should affect wine too, from smooth jazz to acid rock. The amazing life of plants involves the taste and texture of wine. Discussions with Sheri Hood, Courtney Taylor-Taylor and Jay Boberg were entertaining and mind...Read full review »

Love the podcast - great format with multiple guests (different each week). Very conversational which makes for an easy listen. Content is also rich in that it isn't recycled information you frequently hear in other places. Unique content, fun, with great variety around food & beverage.Read full review »

Loved the discussion about "American" food and what that really means today. I remember being in Italy several years ago and craving peanut butter! Surrounded by all that wonderful food and all I wanted was a good ole' PBJ 😉 In my opinion, American food is diverse and that is what...Read full review »

Podcast is geared to upscale women in the Pacific Northwest. Focus is hardly national. Food is just an excuse for marketing panelists and the host's interests and grievances.Read full review »

Katherine does a wonderful job of including diverse voices and topics that hit home for so many here in Portland. As a young woman looking to get into the food/beverage industry, it’s amazing to hear all the interesting things other people are doing to make the industry more innovative and...Read full review »

This podcast has really come a long way and I have loved watching the journey! I look forward to a new episode each month. Ep. 60 is so insightful and I loved hearing from each panelist as a woman in the beverage industry. More of this please.

As an avid food podcast listener I enjoy shows based in LA, Chicago, New York, etc and find them delightful, even when they do local subjects. This Portland based podcast would likely best serve the folks that live in that awesome city. I really tried to keep with it, but after listening to...Read full review »

The current episode is a good example: it's all about the host's economic interests, albeit they are wrapped in a global blanket. Worrying about the effect of climate changte on vineyards is like worrying about the quality of champagne when two-thirds of the world lacks clean drinking...Read full review »

I listen to the Serious Eats podcast and The Eater Upsell. The hosts of those podcasts tend to insert themselves into the conversation too much. This has a nice balance that covers a broad range of food issues, and because there are no "celebrity" chefs (so far) the discussion is less ego...Read full review »

I found this podcast after reading that it was nominated for a James Beard award and thought I'd give it a try. I have found the episodes to be engaging, fun and informative; and while the participants are clearly well-versed on the various topics of food and beverage, they don't take...Read full review »

I heard about The 4 Top because I saw that it won an award. I was a little confused about the title but a friend told me a "4 top" is table for four in a restaurant. I like to cook and eat out but I'm not geeky about it. Anyway, the guests are funny and I always learn something. I was tired of...Read full review »

It's hard to make a panel show scintillate, but The Four Top does it. Katherine Cole brings in smart, down-to-earth people who really know about food and beverages -- not just on the professional/haute-cuisine side, but on the domestic/cooking and nutritional, environmental, and political...Read full review »

So many food shows are long, boring interviews or else recipe-focused. This is just educated banter about what's generally new and interesting in foodie culture. It's engaging to listen to, and it moves along quickly.
