The constant interjections are incredibly distracting. Just be quiet and let the guests talk. 2 episodes in…can’t take it any more.

I just found this podcast and very much enjoyed the episode with Vicky Bennison! I look forward to hearing more content! Phil D. May, Author, The Forgotten Chef

This is my top 3 favorite podcasts. I have been listening for over a year and I am always so excited when it comes on. I want to buy every cookbook they talk about and their discussions are fascinating. Please don’t ever leave us.

If we could get Brian to stop saying "sort of" twice in every. single. sentence, this would be a great podcast.

I love salt & spine, what I do NOT love are the racist comments or sexist comments about men or causations. It’s disheartening to put snide comments about men or rude comments about causations. Even having podcasts directly about getting rid of or having less Causations on the podcast or in the cooking world. That is extremely racist and sexist! We should praise ALL walks of life, all people, all culture, men AND women, and embrace them. Not put people down. People do not choose their color, there is no place in our world for racism or sexism.

I am always so impressed by how thoughtful and well-researched the interviews are - Salt & Spine is a joy to listen to and I would love to have this podcast as a companion for years and years - please never stop!! :)

I love this podcast and always look forward to the very thoughtful and diverse conversations. Brian is a great interviewer and asks some of the best questions to get really great interviews out in the world.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for about a year. It has probably cost me several hundred dollars in cook books, for which I am really grateful. Hearing the authors discuss the whys and hows behind their books is awesome.

I listen to a number of food related podcasts and this is definitely one of my favorites. Always conducted with the upmost respect and dignity. Great content and thoughtfulness. Keep up the great work!

I’ve been anxiety baking, which means I’m actually working in our kitchen rather than admiring my husband’s food. Part of that means I’m reading more about food, watching videos and ... reading cookbooks. I’ve always loved food writing—Ruth Reich’s Garlic and Sapphires is a long-time favorite—but reading cake recipes and baking books, being addicted to the Bon Appetit TV app and YouTube channel somehow led me to this podcast. Keep up the great interviews with brilliant cooks and writers.

Salt + Spine is delightful! I was looking for a podcast that merges my interests in both quality food & quality storytelling - I’m so glad to have found it in Salt + Spine. I really appreciate the variety in authors & cuisines, and love learning more about them through Brian’s interviews!

What an “appetizing” podcast

This podcast is a total rip off of the Cookery by the Book podcast! The website looks the same, the podcast sounds the same. This whole thing is purely a rip off. If you want to listen to a cookbook podcast, listen to Cookery by the Book. It's so much better.

It is such fun to hear about all sorts of cookbooks and foods, I absolutely love it!!

The recipes, stories, and lessons shared in this podcast are fantastic! Brian approaches each interview as a story to learn more. I enjoy the diversity of cuisine and culture that is shared. I’ve added to my cookbook collection as a result!

Love this new podcast. Great to see some diverse voices given a platform to share their food stories. Congrats, Brian!

Listening to this first podcast has helped inspire me that cooking can become easier after a few tries (terrified of cooking poached eggs until now!) and it’s ok to use frozen peas 🙃excited for the others to come!

As someone who loves to cook (and listen to podcasts while doing so) I really enjoyed this podcast. I have often wondered what inspires someone to write a cookbook and the work that goes into it, and I found the first episode with Nigella Lawson to be both engaging and educational. The host does a great job teasing out details from each guest. Can't wait for episode 2!

Hope to get ideas of great tastes to prepare!

The Nigella interview was insightful and I can’t wait for more episodes!

Love this podcast! The conversations are engaging and fun. Can’t wait for more episodes.

Everything works, from the title, to smooth interviewing technique, impressive articulate guest. Great food theme -- tight, but worlds to explore. Looking forward to more episodes.

Love this really comprehensive deep dive into cooking. My only complaint is that this podcast makes me HUNGRY! Looking forward to the next episode.

Great topic, great conversation. Love getting to "know" the chefs/authors behind the cookbooks more.

Whether you’re a diehard foodie, casual home cook, or just someone who appreciates well-crafted 1:1 interviews, this podcast is a great listen. Can’t wait for more!

Can’t wait to hear who your future guests are! I now must go eat, Nigella always makes food sound so elegant.

Only downside is it makes me hungry! Great podcast. Can’t wait for more!

Loved the down to earth conversation with Nigella! She was a great opening to your season! Cant wait for the next one!

Just listened to the first episode. It was personal and indepth. I loved learning more about the author and the book! Looking forward to having access to all of the featured recipes from future episodes.

This was a great podcast! I can’t wait to hear more!

Loving this podcast! As someone who reads cookbooks like novels and idolizes Ina Garten, it’s so exciting to have a podcast that dives into what makes a great cookbook. I enjoy cooking in my tiny apartment’s kitchen, and I’m already feeling inspired to go outside my comfort zone and try some delicious new recipes. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the season!

As an aspiring home cook, this podcast was interesting and inspiring! Definitely adding this to my podcast rotation.

Love this new podcast! Conversations are fun to listen to - can’t wait for more episodes
