Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!
I would love some deeper dives even if it means multiple 15 minute parts!!
So fun!
This pod is a lot of fun and so informative. I bought cotton candy grapes after this pod, started down a rabbit hole about the World’s Fair, and learned all I could about the Boston molasses flood. Irene is great and I appreciate her spreading this knowledge and being such a calming presence!!
10/10 Recommend!
I love this podcast! Irene gives little bits of food history and makes it enjoyable and funny to listen to. I love how the episodes are not too long (even though I binge like 4 at once most of the time) 10/10 recommend if you like food and fun little facts!
