    Favorite Food Podcasts

    Published: Aug 4, 2015 · Modified: Apr 26, 2017 by Mike Vrobel · This post may contain affiliate links · 5 Comments

    I’m addicted to podcasts. I have more subscriptions than I have time, and I have a lot of favorite food podcasts, but I don't feel like I have a good way of discovering new ones. I'm throwing the question out to my readers - What podcasts am I missing? What are your favorites?

    Here are the food podcasts I listen to:

    1476183_478999762213121_2005803430_n1. The Feed

    Rick Bayless and Steve Dolinsky: The Feed Podcast - Rick Bayless & Steve Dolinsky
    I’m a huge Rick Bayless fan - his cookbooks are a constant source of new ideas for me. I enjoy most of Rick and Steve’s culinary explorations, especially since they’re located in Chicago - I go to Chicago every year, and love their insight into the food scene in the city. But my favorite part of the podcast is the Ingredient Challenge, when Rick challenges other Chicago chefs to use a specific ingredient for a 15 minute weeknight meal. I always come away with ideas I can use at home.

    2. America’s Test Kitchen Radio

    Christopher Kimball, Bridget Lancaster, and the rest of the America’s Test Kitchen crew: America's Test Kitchen Radio
    My favorite part is the interview in the middle of the show. Chefs, food celebrities, cookbook authors, scientists - Chris does a great job interviewing them all about the world of food.

    DaveCartoon3. Cooking Issues

    David Arnold and friends: Cooking Issues - Dave Arnold
    Dave is a food scientist, owner of the Booker and Dax cocktail bar, and a fast talker from Brooklyn. This podcast has more information per minute than anything else I listen to, ideas pouring out of Dave as fast as he can say them. (I got my wife, the high school science teacher, his Liquid Intelligence cocktail book for her birthday. She’s been making all sorts of crazy drinks, and is muttering “now I need a dewar…and some liquid nitrogen…”. Dave unleashed her innner mad scientist.)

    gastropod4. Gastropod

    Cynthia Graber and Nicola Twilley: Gastropod
    Cynthia and Nicole do a great job of combining food history and science in their in-depth explorations of food topics. (Are you sensing a theme yet?)

    Alton-Browncast-1400x1400

    5. The Alton Browncast

    Alton Brown: The Alton Browncast

    Speaking of food science and heroes: Sigh. No new epsiodes since last December. Still lots of good stuff in the archives. Come back, Alton!

    Bonus: My favorite non-food podcasts

    I’m a nerd, and a computer geek, and the rest of my podcasts fall into two categories: 1I know, and I have a blog, quelle surprise!. My favorite non-food podcasts:

    • The Incomparable - Jason Snell and friends talking about nerdy pop culture. This is, by far, my favorite podcast of all. (Frankly, the entire Incomparable network is fantastic. I particularly like the Incomparable Game Show.)
    • Accidental Tech Podcast - Casey Liss, Marco Arment, and John Siracusa talk about tech and Apple. Sometimes to extraordinary levels of detail, especially when John or Marco starts rolling. (I’m an Apple fanboy, so I love it when they get rolling.)
    • Mac Power Users - Katie Floyd and David Sparks talk about how to get things done with Apple technology. See Apple Fanboy, above - but this show is more about workflows and tools you can use in the real world. 2It drives my daughter nuts that David starts every episode saying “Hello, Katie Floyd!”. “Why can’t he just say Katie!” she shouts every time.
    • And, practically the entire Relay.FM lineup - Upgrade, Clockwise3Really, anything with Jason Snell or Dan Moren talking about Apple., Analog(ue), Connected, Rocket….

    What am I missing?

    What other podcasts are your favorites?4My wife can't belive I left out the real life crime drama Serial, while my son is voting for video game centered Virtual. Leave them in the comments section at the bottom of the page on my blog.

      Barbecue Central, hosted by Greg Rempe, is two hours of mostly competition oriented stuff, but he has informed guests on other good related matters, and has recurring guests in Steve Raichlen, Ray Lampe, and Craig Goldwyn (of http://www.amazingribs.com )

        Thanks - I know of them - listened to them a few times on the radio - but I never thought to check out their podcast. I'll add it to my subscriptions!
