The Seasoned podcast has detailed everything from ingredient selection to cooking skills. It started in mid-2020 as a show that addressed how the COVID-19 crisis affected the industry. It has grown into a podcast that interviews food writers, critics, and more to discuss a range of topics. There are discussions on the history of food, diseases, culinary journeys, and more.
With over two decades of experience, Chef Plum is an apt candidate to host Seasoned. He has judged competitions, been on food shows, and produced the TV show Restaurant Road Trip. In most episodes, a guest joins Seasoned. They are experts in their field and tell audiences about everything from doughnuts to apple cider history. Some previous guests include chefs Missy Robbins, Bryant Terry, and Gregory Gourdet. No matter what interests listeners, there is something enjoyable for all.
As the Seasoned title suggests, the theme is the various seasons and how foods interact with them. After each podcast episode, listeners leave feeling more informed about the topic. The unexpectedness of the themes adds to the intrigue. Will the next show detail fermented food, vegan food, or natural wines? Food lovers and general listeners alike can learn something from each topic.
Seasoned may help those who want to improve their food expertise. It also supplies a host of information on the "best" stuff, like the best local pasta shops, the best way to toast New Year's, and the best bagel makers. It's an inclusive food podcast that could inspire cooking or further knowledge searching. New episodes are dropped up to two times per month and are mostly close to an hour long.
