“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 »

“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 »

“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 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 »

“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.”
