The Top Chef After Show Podcast

Did you all stop?

It is obvious these people are home cooks who enjoy the show. I don’t mind that it’s amateur. However, they need to be aware of audio quality and learn to edit. The episode I listened to had 5 people talking at the same time. It was difficult to pay attention without pulling my hair. Especially with some of the guests’ mics being sun-par in quality. The hour-long episode could have been edited down to 30 minutes max. Lots of banter and digresses.

Tried to give this podcast a try several weeks in a row. Speakers need to pay more attention to the show and also. Learn to edit (even the podcast description is wrong). 🙄

The hosts don’t pay attention to the show and often make errors, including calling contestants by the wrong names. They don’t seem to have widespread food knowledge or even an appreciation of food outside of their own personal palates. Each episode rambles on for far too long to be filled with misinformation. I feel like I know more about the hosts’ children, past restaurant experiences, and quarantine cooking than I do about Top Chef - but I’m here for Top Chef. I only listen to one other Afterbuzz podcast so I’m not sure if this is par for the Afterbuzz course, but there are at least three other Top Chef podcasts that provide vastly better coverage, on both an informational and entertaining level.
