Podcasts, podcasts, podcasts, podcasts. Everybody is talking about podcasts these days. You don’t subscribe to podcasts? Here’s a great list of 100 to start with. Or there’s The TASTE Podcast, which Anna, Tatiana, and Matt have been hosting since June 2018. This week we released our 50th episode! In hitting that mark (which is not quite Marc Maron level, but we’re on our way), we wanted to revisit some of our favorite episodes below.
And as always, you can subscribe to the TASTE Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher.
