So Much to Savor

I have been listening, and doing brain dances, since episode one. Whilst very US centric, and it never pretended to be oterwise, it isn't always and regardless I have hearnt and laughed all the way along, Many episodes are now on my "never be deleted" list. Definitely a two-thumbs up podcast.

Keep up the great work

It took me awhile to come around to listening to this podcast but I’m so glad I did. Was such a fan of Anney during her guest appearances on Movie Crush (rip) that once that show ended I needed to seek out more her fun shows.

Absolutely love the dynamic between the hosts, love the subject matter & just learning new things abt food and pop culture. Please keep up the great work! 🙌

If QI were run by foodies

I honestly can't get enough of this podcast. It's engaging, entertaining, hilarious & hey - you even get to learn some pretty awesome stuff! It's basically what would happen if QI were run by foodies (and, y'know... covered just the one topic per episode) - funny, informative & with hosts you just want to be besties with.
