  • Allows the interviewee to talk 👍

    A great, informative programme with a expansive range of topics. The gut health series was excellent as was the New York bakery scene prog. with Ed Kember (?). Highly enjoyable.

  • Joy in a dark time

    This podcast is such a treasure trove of interviews. I discovered it a couple of weeks ago and have dived into the huge back catalogue since then - it’s funny, clever, educational and just bloody entertaining! Please keep going we need more uplifting podcasts like this to remind us what we have to look forward to!

    Re episode 163 craft brewing in the Loire

    Normally I wouldn’t comment as I generally enjoy The Olive Podcasts but what was going on here? This fell way way below acceptable quality- the man was a complete buffoon. Does you no credit to be associated with no hopers such as he. Ortherwise keep up the good work!
