Who's Reality Cooking Podcast artwork

In this new podcast I’ll be bringing you interviews with reality cooking contestants and judges, and everyone in-between making the shows happen!

Each week you’ll hear from someone who worked and competed on your favorite cooking reality and cooking shows, and find out what it’s really like behind the scenes.

As the first podcast dedicated to cooking reality and competition shows, I know you’ll be excited to FINALLY hear from the contestants on what it’s really like to compete and star on these high pressure shows.

Learn how these shows have positively or negatively impacted careers, and even meet a few big stars who started out competing!

As a former cooking reality star, I know what it’s like to compete, and I can’t wait to introduce you to the friends I’ve met and dish the dirt on what happens when the cameras turn off and the microphones stay on.
