  • Excellent local food podcast

    Sound Bites is an excellent show with fun food talk from Memphis food critic Jennifer Biggs and bon vivant Chris Herrington. The topics are always interesting and the pair have a nice repartee. However, I would recommend avoiding episodes featuring Eric Barnes, who breaks the usual convivial atmosphere with his particularly smug and grating presence.
