  • Some good info but host is condescending

    Host is always dismissive about vegetarian or vegan foods, so is annoying and frustrating to listen to

  • Best of a mixed lot

    I have listened to Good Food for many years and more recently listen to a lot of food podcasts as a way of avoiding those that discuss news or

    politics. Good Food is the one I most look forward to each week. I would personally prefer they skip the cookbook author interviews (very repetitive as authors work the podcast circuit) and the politics (hopeless, pointless, depressing, dogmatic) but I get it. I pay attention to the parts I like and on balance find it worthwhile and consistently bett... more

    A lot of them lately. Especially the ice cream show. Perhaps a show once a month instead of every week.

    In the weeds segment… the biggest monkey on the wrench.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How glyphosate got a greenlight from Trump
Q: What's the significance of the executive order in the current legal and political landscape?
The order aims to secure a steady glyphosate supply and advance domestic production, arriving amid active litigation, potential Supreme Court cases, and a broader debate about pesticide regulation and agricultural policy.
How glyphosate got a greenlight from Trump
Q: What do we know about the links between glyphosate and cancer?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies it as probably carcinogenic, backed by animal studies and limited human data, while authorities like the EPA have disputed evidence linking glyphosate to cancer in humans.
How glyphosate got a greenlight from Trump
Q: Let's start with a primer on glyphosate. What is it, how does it work and what products is it found in?
Glyphosate is a broad-based herbicide used widely because crops have been engineered to tolerate it, enabling year-round application without crop loss; it's the active ingredient in Roundup and is also present in other products.
The struggle to save wine from wildfires
Q: What makes smoke taint so difficult to diagnose, and how have researchers approached testing and mitigation?
Smoke taint is tricky because the primary markers (guaiacol and related compounds) can be bound in grape tissues and released only during fermentation or aging, and the volatile mix changes with smoke age and environmental factors; researchers are developing field tests, sensory training tools (like leek-based scents), and strategies to prevent or reverse taint through processing and spraying, with progress expected in a few years.
The struggle to save wine from wildfires
Q: When winemakers in California were confronted with these historic fires in 2020, how did they react and what did they do when it came time to harvest?
Winemakers faced a dilemma: harvest decisions depended on uncertain smoke exposure, with some choosing to harvest and test while others waited or insured, though many labs were backed up and unable to deliver timely results, leading to difficult financial and quality outcomes.
