Podcasts… Food, Wine and More…

Who needs music when you have podcasts?

Ever since Nick got me an iPod for Christmas, all I’ve been listening to are podcasts! There are a bunch of fabulous podcast shows out there, and I’ve really been learning a lot from them! I've listed some of my favorites below. . . You can check out the shows by going to their website and then clicking on the podcast link.

KCRW’s Good Food is based in Santa Monica, CA. The show is hosted by Evan Kleiman, owner of Angeli Caffe in Los Angeles. Good Food offers great information about restaurants, latest food trends, recipes, and ingredients. I love the interviews, and I find all the topics to be really fascinating.

ReMarkable Palate Podcast
Chef Mark Tafoya

The ReMarkable Palate podcast is hosted by Chef Mark Tafoya, a personal chef in New York City. I think he’s very articulate, and I find his shows to be both entertaining and very informative. I especially enjoy his Kitchen Quick Tips, where he offers really helpful solutions when cooking in the kitchen.

If you want to learn more about wine, this is the podcast to listen to! William L. Wilson is the host of Wine for Newbies. He does a really excellent job on explaining the basics of wine. I’m definitely more knowledgeable about wine etiquette and wine tasting thanks to his show!

Behind the Bar Show
Mr. Martini

Behind the Bar show is hosted by Mr. Martini is San Francisco, CA. Being a former bartender myself, I find his shows really entertaining and fun to listen to. Mr. Martini goes into great detail about the history of each type of liquor. He also offers helpful cocktail tips and recipes in his show as well.

Hip Tranquil Chick Podcast
Kimberly Wilson

Hip Tranquil Chick isn’t a food or wine podcast. It’s more about life and how to be motivated and inspired. The host Kimberly Wilson, is the owner of Tranquil Space, a yoga studio with locations in Dupont Circle (DC) and Bethesda, MD. I am a huge fan of this show. Kimberly’s podcast really is inspiring! A couple of my favorite features are her “pose of the podcast” and her book suggestions.
