Customer Reviews
I would give a 10 if I could
Hello from New Zealand,
It is such a pleasure to listen to your podcast, specially the My Opinion is Fact. Always been a big fan of what you do Dave and always been an inspiration. I discovered your podcast not long ago and when I have a long or rough day, I love to listen to it in the kitchen. I work as a sous chef and some days feel very intense and hearing you guys laughing or just giving your opinion on food or a topic is changing my mood to the best. Thank you
By the way I wish I can rate you guys a 10 stars.

Spoons as a tool in the kitchen, are underrated.
My partner and I thought of this as we were making dinner after a day long hike. Scoop, stir, pick-up, smash, quenelle, cut. Anyway just wanted to contribute to your conversations, and not accidentally say something Isaac-like. Best podcast! We’ve been binging while driving around New Zealand. As an Asian-Canadian I relate so much to all the conversations and it’s so refreshing to have that in mainstream media. Can’t give you guys enough praise. THANK YOU DAVE 🤟🏼
5 stars from NZ
This podcast makes me think, makes me uncomfortable in my cosy, white middle-aged privilege and makes me laugh a lot - I don’t mind whether Dave’s feeling like a rant, feeling Tiggerish and playful or just plain angry; I just enjoy the thought-provoking and entertaining content. A fascinating window on the world of cuisine and hospitality too, which sounds not unlike the world of advertising which I came from. Consistently top quality podcasting.
