If you've ever listened to How Stuff Works podcasts, you’ll be familiar with the pace a patter of Savor. It’s not just about the topic, it’s also about the Southern speed of the dialogue (i.e. slowwww) and the complete absence of stress, politics, or anything else that might keep you awake at night. It’s perfect for falling to sleep, cleaning, cooking—any simple task that might be more pleasant with a bit of light distraction going on in the background.

I’ve been listening for years and always look forward to hearing anney and Lauren conversing about food-related topics. I like that they’re real people, non-partisan, and always talking about fun and interesting topics. I almost feel like they’re friends and enjoy being able to listen to their shows every week
A fun, nerdy type of podcast

I love this show. This is not your standard type of food show, and definitely not a cooking show. If you dig history, nerding out on subjects, side tracks, and so on, you should love this show. It has a down to earth feel. You may find yourself craving all different kinds of things.
