Reviews on Podcast

I now do spoken-word reviews for hot sauces, BBQ sauces, rubs & seasonings, and more for two audio podcasts: Hot Sauce Weekly and The BBQ Central Radio Show.

The BBQ Central Radio Show - hosted by Greg Rempe, this is the premiere show of its kind on the world of barbecueing. I'm a recurring guest the first or second Tuesday of every month, and give reviews of three BBQ-related food products, and include barbecue sauce, rubs, seasonings, spices, or pepper sauces. Click on the links to download the episodes directly; I appear approximately 34 minutes into the show. Show website - Subscribe via iTunes
