If you’re in the Chicago area, I’ll be on The Nick Digilio Show (albeit remotely from NYC) on Sat. 10pm Chicago time. If you’re not, you will find the podcast on itunes (and here) and he’s on Facebook and Twitter and everywhere else. Nick’s show is compulsively listenable.

If you open up your Wall Street Journal Weekend Journal to page W9, you’ll see a nice plug for WWWE. “Ms. Collins provides a detailed and often entertaining ­chronicle of the rise of TV cooking programs,” writes Aram Bakshian, Jr., “excelling at ­insightful thumbnail sketches of food stars.” (See full review.)

And if you’re driving to work on Tuesday, June 9 and live in Long Island, NJ, or CT, you can catch me on Sam Greenfield’s show on 1160 AM WVNJ between 8 and 8:30 am.

This past Saturday, I chewed the fat on the radio with Chef Jasper Mirabile and Mitch Baker on “Live! from Jasper’s Kitchen” in Kansas City, MO (unfortunately the file’s too big to post here, but I will tell you that, yes, we talked about food porn). And I’m pleased that the New York Times saw fit to include Watching What We Eat in their Summer Reading Issue on Sunday!

I was a recent guest of The Bat Segundo Show (our studio was a diner in Hell’s Kitchen), and I’m here to tell you that it has been one of my favorite conversations so far about the content of Watching What We Eat. I am hooked on this podcast (available via itunes). Mr. Segundo has interviewed a wide range of authors and artists and delivers on his promise not to ask the usual questions. Here’s an excerpt with a link to the entire interview.

My favorite thing about radio? Sound! Listen to my interview with “Morning Edition”’s Renée Montagne and you’ll get to hear some of the cooking shows described in Watching What We Eat (note that “The French Chef” clip coincidentally corresponds with the book’s cover!). You can also listen to the full clip of Mary Lee Taylor making vanilla wafer sandwiches on the radio in the 1930s.

That was their  verdict in this here review, hot off the screen. “Her thorough research,” wrote Alyssa Fetini, “is spiced with anecdotes and personal testimonials from chefs, historians and foodies about the world of TV cooking and the eccentric personalities that populate it.”

…is your local bookstore? If you purchased Watching What We Eat, first of all – thank you! If you got it in a good ol’ brick and mortar bookstore, where was it? Please tell us on the Watching What We Eat Facebook fan page.

Stick a tack in it!

If you’re in the LA area, tune your radios to KCRW 89.9FM this Saturday (May 9) for “Good Food” from 11am-noon. Host Evan Kleiman and her producers always have an eclectic and entertaining show. And this week, that includes me (segment to air ~11:45 or so)! If you live anywhere else, you can get “Good Food” via podcast.

And if you live in the Nashville area, I’ll be a guest of the Saucy Sisters on their  radio show “Sauced!” around noon on Mother’s Day (Sunday, May 10 – but you should know that!) They’re at WLAC 1510AM and also podcastable.
