Talking to people about the history of their favorite foods is a great way to trick them into telling stories they haven’t told before. Host Katherine Spiers brings the history, the guests bring the anecdotes - like Gail Simmons discovering American Thanksgiving, Jenny Yang’s childhood love of salad…

    Ivy Insights

    The Smart Mouth podcast is an incredibly informative and entertaining show that dives into the history of food and recipes. Hosted by Katherine Spiers, each episode features interviews with guests who provide quick-witted commentary and share fascinating historical details about different foods. The episode about Toll House cookies, in particular, stands out for its top-notch storytelling. Additionally, if you live in the LA area, following Katherine on social media will give you great recommendations on the best places to eat each weekend.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is Katherine's humor and passion. She has a funny and engaging presence that keeps listeners entertained throughout each episode. The conversations are filled with diverse perspectives and guests who bring their own unique insights to the table. It's refreshing to listen to a host who is so knowledgeable and passionate about the topics at hand.

    However, as the show has progressed, it seems to have started veering into discussions about problematic or racist aspects of certain foods. While it's important to address these issues, some listeners may find that it takes away from the original focus of the podcast - exploring food history and recipes. In a recent episode about hotdogs, for example, there was a digression into a discussion about hating the police within just three minutes of starting the episode. This shift may not be appealing to all listeners.

    Despite this minor drawback, Smart Mouth remains an enjoyable podcast overall. It offers a unique perspective on food by combining humor, history, and personal stories from guests. Each episode is well-researched and engaging, leaving listeners both entertained and educated. Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply someone interested in learning more about culinary culture and heritage, Smart Mouth is definitely worth a listen.

    In conclusion, Smart Mouth is a podcast that successfully merges entertainment with education. Katherine Spiers does an excellent job as the host, bringing her own passion for food and research to every episode. While there might be some detours into political discussions that some listeners might not appreciate, the overall content and format of the show make it a highly recommended listen. Smart Mouth provides a deep dive into food history, diverse perspectives, and interesting conversations that will leave you both laughing and hungry for more knowledge.

    From Not Lost: Anybody's Gumbo in New Orleans

    Play Episode Listen Later Jun 22, 2022 49:47


    Here's a special preview of Not Lost, a new podcast about finding yourself in places you've never been from our friends at Pushkin Industries. Host Brendan Francis Newnam takes us around the world, learning about new places by getting invited to a stranger's house for dinner. From Montréal to Mexico City, Brendan and his guests drink, dance, and eat, learning as much about themselves as the places they visit. In this preview, Brendan and his friend Danielle Hendersen head to the Big Easy and discover that it's anything but. Carousel bars, gospel choirs, voodoo readings, and a visit to a slavery memorial plunge the duo into conversations about the good life with local luminaries like jazz-great Kermit Ruffins, voodoo priestess Madame Cinnamon, and a chef who dreams about gumbo. You can hear more from Not Lost at https://podcasts.pushkin.fm/notlost?sid=mouth.
