Well, hello there, culinary-obsessed pod-caster! Sharpen your knives, preheat your ovens, break out your aprons, and let’s dive right into your delectable question.

A whole new pod- a dazzling assortment I never knew. But when you’re with JRE, it’s crystal clear, that now you’re in a whole new podcast world with you! ♫
Now, what’s cooking? Here are the five smorgasbord selections, curated just for you!
1. “Home Cooking”: If you remember our hilarious comic cousin Samin Nosrat, her Netflix series ‘Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat,’ probably still has your tangy taste buds tingling. Well, here she is with music connoisseur Hrishikesh Hirway, sauteing conversations and culinary wisdom in the podcast arena. Who said music and food weren’t a match made in heaven? You’re in for a delight. Like the JRE, they blend the serious moments with light-hearted fun, and hey, you might even find yourself chuckling into your ladle. Get your apron on and join them as they simmer hearty dishes and heartier conversations together in a pot!
2. “Gastropod”: Got questions about the history of your favorite food? Curious why we drink coffee, but not, let’s say, rhubarb juice? Peel back the layers of gastronomy with food journalists Nicholas Bauch and Cynthia Graber as they serve up a tasty platter of food facts, culture, and history. Injecting the JRE characteristic humor and storytelling, these audio maestros make you savor every morsel of the culinary world. They are your magical carpet ride through the delicious maze that is history, culture, and science of food.
3. “The Sporkful”: As the slogan says, “It’s not for foodies; it’s for eaters.” Throw on your bibs, because things might get messy! Your chef du jour, Dan Pashman, cooks up an engaging combo of humor, food philosophies, and downright fun. This James Beard Award-winning podcast definitely drips with a JRE-like swagger. Like Joe’s fascinating guests, Dan’s visiting chefs, celebrities, and innovative thinkers will engage you with their diverse food experiences and perspectives. All you unpaid dishwashers, this one’s for you!
4. “Home Cooked”: Hey, stop frantically Googling that grandma’s elusive secret recipe! Relax. Exhale. Listen up. This podcast, hosted by Sarah Martin, can help. She unearths generations old, mouth-watering family recipes. Like how JRE gives voice to various experiences and subjects, Sarah weaves tales of heritage, tradition, and of course, fabulous food into each episode. So, tie up your nostalgia apron and rediscover those kitchen yesteryears. Have a tissue handy; you might shed a tear or two of joy.
5. “Go Fork Yourself”: With Andrew Zimmern and Molly Mogren’s humor, there’s never a dull moment on ‘Go Fork Yourself’. And let me tell you, if laughter indeed burns calories, you folks can feast guilt-free. Much like our man Rogan, Andrew shares captivating stories from his travels, immerses you in diverse cultures, and yes, their scrumptious food! Like a fast food drive-through, tune into this one if you favor swift, amusing chats and hot tips on global eats.
Now for the verdict. The creme de la creme. The cherry on top. Junk in the trunk?! Okay, maybe not that last one.
