What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Extremely educational. The episode on Ozempic is a real testament to Adam’s skill as a teacher/writer. He breaks down complex subject matter in a very understandable way. A real shame it seems to be over.

Jeremy Bahadirli · Jun 2024

Ragusea has a certain way of communicating that is wholly honest and vulnerable, yet clearly academically informed. The most enjoyable episodes, in my opinion, are the ones centered on subjects other than food(even though that may be the initial draw of the pod). Nothing is more pleasant than listening to a person deep-dive into the details of a subject they find interesting, and I personally would love if he ventured further into the depths of his—generally well rounded—research. I may be alone in this feeling, but I can’t get enough of the rambling solo episodes, and look forward to hearing more.

The most recent episode “comfy content” hits the show, for me, dead center mass. Just love learning from Adam, especially food science. When the wife occasionally guest hosts, their dynamic is perfect and brings more of that familiar comfort

bwdesmo · Oct 2023

I have been deeply curious about Food science, history, politics, etc., for years. It has been difficult to find a community where all such avenues are collected and equally explored - and by a person who can explore them charismatically and in detail. Adam has done that perfectly, and I have found myself to be an obsessive listener and viewer for a long while now. I appreciate him as an educator, an “internet micro-celebrity”, and as a person. By the way, “Vinegar Leg” is on the right.
