An excellent exploration of all things related to food

I don’t live in LA - I’ve actually never lived in LA - but I love listening to this podcast. I read, listen and watch a lot of food related media but this podcast stands out because of its scope. With a friendly, sincere and knowledgeable air, Evan Kleiman delves into all sorts of stories related to food, some which are generally ignored, such as how prison labor is used in food processing and how a registered nurse from the Philippines started a restaurant that doesn’t charge doctors, nurses, clergy and others who work to help people. It’s got breadth and depth and does it all with a light touch.
Outstanding Show + Podcast!

Evan’s expansive interests in all things food, including how and where it’s grown and cultivated, as well as the environmental, cultural, political, religious, and economic factors surrounding food offer us an informative, entertaining, and thought-provoking experience. Frankly, I’d love Evan to run for Congress and help re-set our priorities, as well as bring both sides to a table filled with nourishing, good food and reconcile our differences.

This uplifting podcast is my favorite antidote for today’s anxious media. The voices are authentic, practical, and thoughtful. The focus on quality content rather than ads, music, or sound effects is a huge gift. Thank you for this heartwarming, informative public podcast related to a raison d’etre - good food!
