  • Labouring points

    I was so keen to listen to this podcast because it’s Australian. But, I was surprised at how much labouring of the point there was. The content seems sounds but take a breath, slow down. Leave a small gap for the listener to digest and for your co-worker to respond. The pacing is too fast. I will try another episode and see if it’s the same.

  • Yumi’s eggplant dip fan!

    Disappointed to hear you once again dissing yumi’s eggplant dip! Particularly frustrating because it sounds like you’ve never even tried it, just written it off because you’re apparently not fans of eggplant! It’s a vegetable for goodness sake, surely it’s your job as dietitians to promote it not turn others away from a potentially very healthy and tasty option, simply based on your own personal preferences.

    Yumi’s eggplant dip has outlasted your fave capsicum dip so there are people like me b... more

  • Great content

    Very informative nutrition information. The girls are amazing. But Leanne, girl! You gotta slow down and pull in the story tangents. I would be lying if I said I didn’t skip your parts more often than not.
