  • Like MSG for your ears!

    It’s astonishing that two ordinary wannabe foodies (one a “radio legend”) from Melbourne Australia can serve up such a deliciously entertaining performance every week. It’s like sitting around a sakura-pink Formica topped table in the kitchen. You will be left hungry for more!

  • Loving Foodbytes

    Seeing as food and eating is pretty much my only hobby, this podcast is perfect for me.

    I could listen to host, the wonderful Sarah Patterson talk all day and also her sidekick and aussie radio icon Kevin Hillier, what a funny guy.

    Love it.

  • Fantastic Foodies

    We love listening to Sarah and Kevin and their weekly Foody interviews. Awesome guests from music talent to athletes and actors and all with an Aussie flavour. I find so much inspiration from recipes and cooking ideas and favourite food habits of the stars. Keep up the great work guys!
