What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Gave us a true flavor of the world and injustices, inequalities, racism, prejudices and its beauty through food! Brilliant! Will miss him dearly!

Milady Mortimer · Jan 2022

While you will miss some of the beautiful visuals the show had to offer, this podcast still brings with it the love, snark, food, and friends that made Parts Unknown so great. Hearing Tony describe the world will make you want to get out in it & try new things; be it good food or greater experiences. This show (and by extension, this podcast) serves as an excellent bridge between peoples and is always worth your time.

Coffee&Kettlebells · Jan 2022

I didn’t think this would work as a podcast but it truly does. His wit and personality come thru even without seeing him or the food. We lost a legend.

polyplane66 · Mar 2022

If you can miss a person you never met. Respect a person you never knew. Watching Anthony Bourdain brought all of the world a familiar kindness to the globe wherever he wandered. One of a kind gentleman, will be missed as long as there is memory of his work.
