This Is TASTE 568: Food Writers Talking About Food Writing with Eric Kim & Matt Rodbard
ERICMATT_ARTICLE

We’re excited to launch a special video podcast series: Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. It’s only available on the TASTE YouTube channel, so make sure to subscribe. Every couple of weeks, cohost Matt Rodbard will invite a journalist or cookbook author to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. Our first guest is a special one: Eric Kim is a writer and columnist at the New York Times and a great consumer of food writing. In this episode, we talk about Eric’s media diet, discuss a few favorite stories, and ask the big question: What would you pitch 1997 Graydon Carter? That is, Eric considers his dream no-budget reporting assignment.

We’re including the first 18 minutes here in the podcast feed. You can check out the full episode on YouTube now.
