HAVE to keep up as a bev founder. Love having this on when WFH / driving to stay up to date.
I was never into podcasts but as a CPG founder it kind of grew on me
The best one out there
We’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast as a start-up brand, from the guests to the dynamics of each host. They’re super tapped into what founders want to know!
I’ve been listening to this podcast for quite an awhile. The host is clearly experienced and does great interviews and the production quality is top-notch.
I’ve been in the CPG business for a long time. Most podcasts are hosted by armchair experts trying to sell a product or service. Ray Latif and Taste Radio, on the other hand, bring on a diverse array of experts for every show and ask the tough questions that get to the crux of the CPG business.
If you want to learn about CPG, stay up to date on Food & Beverage, or simply be entertained, Taste Radio is a must-add to your routine.
