Welcome to our new podcasts, where Chef Jon Ashton and Relish Editor Jill Melton talk about their favorite subject — food. In fact, we’re usually talking about dinner, while in the midst of lunch. If you love food like us, you can tune into our podcasts in two formats. Our audio podcasts range from 5 minute to 30 minute segments on everything from getting your kids in the kitchen to nutrition to the ultimate burger. Download and listen to them while you're in your car, or watch them at your desk (on your lunch break, of course). Our video podcasts are 6 minute guided tours through the supermarket with Jon—very entertaining and informative, and, you’ll love his accent.
Give a listen (or watch, whichever may be the case) and join in the discussion by dropping a line on our message boards. Or let us know what you’d like to hear or watch next. Stay tuned.
