Before I pack my bags for any trip you’ll find me hovering over my little iPhone downloading all of my favorite food podcasts from iTunes. Or to be more honest, Josh is actually the one who often downloads podcasts for me, because I’m usually running around with my head cut off tying up loose ends before we leave. Either way, I’m left with delicious podcasts to keep me entertained for hours. Here are a few of my favorite food podcasts:
The Splendid Table, “for people who love to eat” (that’s us). The back stories and deeper meanings that come together every time people sit down to enjoy a meal, hosted by food writer Lynne Rossetto Kasper.
Spilled Milk, casual food conversations and comedy with Molly Wizenburg from Orangette blog and food writer Matthew Amster-Burton.
The Sporkful, “not for foodies but for eaters,” Dan Pashman & Mark Garrison banter about food with a touch of insight and lots of humor.
The Dinner Party Download, a celebration of culture, food, and conversation designed to help you dazzle your friends at this weekend’s get-together. Hosted by Rico Gagliano and Brendan Francis Newnam.
To listen to any of these podcasts simply go to your itunes and search for the name of the podcasts. Then you can either listen to the podcast directly from iTunes for free or download it if you’re going to be somewhere where you don’t have wifi connection.

Spilled Milk is one of my favorite podcasts, I love Molly and Matt. Joy the Baker’s podcast (Homefries?) is fun too, though not exclusively about food.
I listed to Homefries once and wasn’t too impressed but I need to give it a second chance. I love her writing though!!
My favorite food-related podcast is America’s Test Kitchen Radio. I don’t miss an episode. So much information, great story telling, great education and I also enjoy the gadget reviews. If you haven’t listened to them, I recommend all of them!
I haven’t listened to some on your list, so I’m going to give them a try! 🙂
I love getting more recommendations. I will definitely check out America’s Test Kitchen Radio!
My favorite is The Splendid Table! I really enjoy the host of that show 🙂
