What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Quite simply, this podcast is balm to my soul. It’s such a pleasure to gather around the table with Megan, John, Shannon and their guests.

I listen to a lot (a LOT) of cooking and food podcasts. I didn’t expect to like this podcast all that much-what a sleeper it turned out to be! I love the hosts and their casual “chats”. I feel like I’m sitting at their kitchen table. It’s now the first episode I turn to in my library of podcasts. Keep up the great work, John, Megan and Shannon!!

Feels like catching up with old friends and somehow becoming a more thoughtful cook through conversation. Hope they keep doing these!

This podcast makes me feel so at home when I listen. My mom had the two toned blue version of Joy and it was stuffed with recipe clippings and all kinds of stuff. It was the only cookbook I remember our family having. To listen to this takes me back to that family kitchen. I especially liked the episode with Claire Lower.
