  • Thoughtful, informative, and entertaining

    I enjoy listening to Jeremy's thinking and that of his guests on food, its origins, preparation, economics, politics, history, and everything else connected with it. The presentations are thoughtful, serious but leavened with humor and humility. The podcast doesn’t claim to provide definite answers but rather leaves one thinking, which is of great service in a world of food fads and panics.
