What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started giving to No Kid Hungry this year because I grew up in a food desert and faced food insecurity. I know first hand how hunger can impact kids and instill shame. I am glad that I decided to tune into this podcast! I have learned so much and it has helped me understand that addressing and solving the issue of hunger is more than just about food - it includes solving socioeconomic issues.

SleepSavy · Jul 2022

The guests they secure for this podcast are so impressive and inspiring! I love the pairings of amazing voices, the range of topics so relevant and important to today’s current events, and the hosts’ natural and engaging demeanor with the guests.

Inspired DC Teacher · Feb 2020

I love the way Billy and Debbie Shore conduct the interviews with their guests. Thoughtful and smart! Every time I listen I learn something new and am inspired to be a part of my community. Having been in the restaurant industry, it’s great to hear the chefs speak about their backgrounds and how, in spite of working such long hours, being of service is part of what makes them tick.

lww · Jan 2020

Thanks for this podcast! Very informative and also entertaining. Offering great 'big picture' work, they work hard to bring in broad relevant content while deligently vetting out ideas. I like Billy's conversational style too, and this has helped inspire and connect me to what's going on in a foodie world comprised of lots of challenges as well as opportunities. ADD PASSION also offers lots of faith and hope and a variety of solutions. Some of these podcasts have already got me back a second time with a pencil and notebook. Cheers and keep up the great work guys!
