    Thank you for creating this podcast!
    One of my most looked-forward to podcasts! I enjoy everything about it!

    Incorrect / Misleading Title
    From title of episodes, this could be comprehensive if not exhaustive history of western food. Civilizations and Societies that were the last one to invent and develop human food. It’s more like 1000 years from now, someone makes a show about History of Technology and all episodes are about technological development in Africa. Misleading and miseducating generations to come.

    Music
    Love your voice, the show is great, but I HATE the music.

    Even if you’re not a “foodie”, still listen!
    I started to listen to this podcast because I needed to write a short weekly post for school about a podcast relating to history/food, but even now after graduating, I routinely come back to listen. It is well done, covers interesting topics, and is a really cool mesh of history and other areas! I think most people would find something enjoyable in this show.

    Stop the music
    Enjoyable stories. No complaints at all there. Too bad I can’t hardly hear them. Granted, I listen to these to help go to sleep, but the music! It’s kinda odd to begin with but is way too loud, seemingly endless, and makes it hard to hear the speaker. Very distracting. At the end of the stories can get so loud it’s startling. Even using as a sleep story, I don’t understand why folks put music over a speaker. At the beginning or end? Or maybe. But please not constantly. Ads are long for the length of the stories. I think I need to move on to something else.

    Fantastic Fun for Foodies
    Nick Charlie Key makes the history of food fun! A whimsical look at the stories behind our favorite foods. You won’t be disappointed for checking out this splendid narrative podcast. Great theme music BTW.

    5 min of ads per 20-min episode
    If you are somehow craving yet another history podcast from a British/male/colonialist lens, you may find the episodes interesting. But hardly enough to justify being comprised of one quarter advertisements.

    Fantastic Show!
    I adore this show and have since I stumbled upon it last year. I quickly binge-listened to all the episodes and love sharing it with those who have an appreciation of food and/or quirky history. Each show has a wonderful story and is so simply and engagingly done. My only complaint would be I wish there were more- and that I could buy all these stories in book form. Please keep up the good work. -An Avid Listener

    Great switcharoo find
    Started to listen to this podcast because of it being played on the Useless Information podcast. Always love to hear the well researched historic stories.
  • PureSaraSue
    Credit your sources, please
    Cite sources. Too much of the da Vinci episode is lifted from other articles written years before this pod, with only slight tweaks.
  • mischkegirl

    Awesome podcast
    I love listening on my drive into work. The short episodes are educational and entertaining and make freeway driving enjoyable. I hope you continue the podcast with pounds of success.
  • Bobaneezer
    Fascinating!
    Not 100% sure about all his facts or maybe it’s just things I’ve never heard of, but super entertaining no matter what. Check out the Nazi margarine episode if nothing else. Great stuff!
  • Tatty K
    Fascinating & Easy To Listen To
    Some of the most fascinating & unusual facts about food throughout history. The episodes are short and Nick’s voice is pleasant so makes it very easy to listen to.
  • Liz Rebhun

  • Logan3Thousand

    Very enjoyable and well made show. Highly recommend.
  • magpieofcrime
    Deliciously Informative
    I found this podcast while searching “food history” hoping for something along the lines of Sawbones and Lore, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Nick’s delivery is clear and succinct, with just enough added flavor to keep it from feeling like a dusty monologue. I particularly enjoy the episodes about strange animals/animal products people have tried eating.
  • Roziepozie
    Such a fun, quick listen
    I just started listening to this podcast and think it’s so fun! The bizarre facts about food and famous people is so intriguing and interesting (especially when you’re a vegetarian 🤣). I like that the episodes are short and sweet, just like a Tapioca Time-Bomb!
  • Teye2M's

  • Cutting Class Podcast
    A Byte sized delight!
    This show is masterfully crafted and well tailored to suit your appetite. Host Nick Key delivers smooth information that goes down easy and keeps you entertained without being bored. Pull up a chair and prepare to feast on this fantastic show! I know I'll keep my eyesnopen for he second course!
  • Adrian Moisey
    Makes me hungry
    By far the best food podcast I’ve listened to. I was stuck on a long flight, and only had Nick Charlie Key’s soothing voice to listen to, which helped take my mind off my cramped economy seat, and into a magical world all about food. I love the length of the episodes, they are nice and short, perhaps one could describe each episode as *bite* size. I hope to hear Nick’s voice in my ears again 👌 This podcast gets a perfect 5/7 from me.
