The new year begins a refresh of the Ken On Food podcast and it all starts today with Food In 5 Minutes.
Towards the tail end of 2020, I was trialling a mini-podcast series by the same name and, as luck would have it, while out walking the dog last week one of the episodes came up in a recommended list. Listening back to it, I remembered it being good craic to pull together, a handy way to share food stories that I wouldn’t normally write about on the blog and that I likely blamed a global pandemic for cutting it short.
Flash forward to 2024 and I’ve scrubbed the Ken On Food podcast feed of previous episodes, the last of which was published in 2020, and I’m relighting that fire with the first instalment of Food In 5 Minutes.

By way of an elevator pitch, it’s a short food podcast that brings you five food stories from the Irish food scene and beyond, all served up in five minutes or less. Technically, you need to allow me a little time for an introduction and something by way of an outro, but the meat and bones in the middle won’t take up any more than five minutes of your time meaning that you’ve got the ideal accompaniment for your tea bag brewing in your mug on a Sunday morning or that first espresso you’re freeing from you coffee machine before browsing through the Sunday papers.
Then again, you may choose to listen after Sunday morning but you get the drift at least. Five minutes, more or less, every Sunday morning for 2024 and it all begins this morning. If you’re still on the lookout for episodes from 2019/2020, they’ve been put on ice though some of the conversations may reappear during the year where relevant.
