Expense Account - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I don’t live in New York but this show does a good job of making me wish I did. great mix of high brow and low brow but ultimately doesn’t feel pretentious and you can tell Jason and his guests really just love food.

I hate podcasts but I love this show!!!!!!!! Never boring, teaches me things and makes me laugh out loud

First off, this feels a bit like it was recorded on a phone. There’s effectively no editing. I’m sure the sound quality will improve over time as they get off the ground. At the same time, the whole point of FeedMe (imho) is that you’re sitting in the booth right next to the coolest people in town having the cool conversation. You might not catch or understand everything, but you feel cool just by proximity. It may literally change your plans for the weekend or (more likely if you’re a parent of three little kids living on the west coast) make you pull out your City bucket list. J is awesome and a delight to listen to. I’m excited to hear his conversations for years to come as he settles into the mic.

I have enjoyed J Lee’s work as a writer and critic but I’m afraid his talents don’t carry over to the podcast space. He seems unprepared for interviewing his guests, asks random and off-topic questions (ADHD medication?!) and can’t guide a conversation. The first few eps have coasted due to the charisma of the guests, but it’s really not enough to sustain my interest. I like the Feed Me project as a concept but I fear this might be a flop.
