It’s the return of a special video podcast series: Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. It’s available on the TASTE YouTube channel, so make sure to subscribe. Every couple of weeks, cohost Matt Rodbard invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. Our next guest is Kat Kinsman, executive features editor at Food & Wine. Kat is an absolute legend in the game and has been at the center of food media for nearly two decades. In this episode, we talk about Kat’s journalism career, her current media diet, and some favorite stories we’ve been reading lately. We also played “What would you pitch 1997 Graydon Carter?” That is, Kat considers her dream no-budget reporting assignment. It’s a deeply personal conversation, and you should check it out.
