Amazing Learning Tool

I’m not in the food blog niche, but this podcast has such useful information for anyone wanting to start a blog- no matter the topic. The host, Megan Porta, is smart, positive, and kind. Her guests have verh useful information on how to start and monetize a blog.

Informative, motivational, just GOOD

Thank you Megan for such an amazing podcast! As a newbie, this podcast is is not only informative but so motivational. Thank you to all the guests of the show who are real and deep dive into their successes, what gets them out of a rut and/or how they are able to get back on track.
TanjaSue

Great info even for the non-food bloggers!

I have a sports blog but this is still one of my fave podcasts because there are great nuggets of wisdom applicable to any blogger.
jessojess

Always something to learn

I really enjoy listening to Megan. She has a way of asking the questions I would want to ask. She delivers value in every episode. Thanks Megan.

Great content, strange amount of gender bias

This show has amazing content and is well organized. There’s a great mix of information for new bloggers as well as experienced. However I find it a little jarring that after dozens of episodes where food blogging is spoken about as “inclusive” there is little to no references to male food bloggers. I just listened to an entire episode about stay at home moms where there wasn’t a single mention of stay at home dads, single fathers, or even the fact that men also write about food. Imagine if you were listening to “Food Blogger Pro” and Bjork only used male pronouns to describe his audience.

Good content, poor audio

The content and delivery are good, however, it is very hard to listen to due to the harshness of the ‘s’ sounds. A de-esser focusing between 5-8kHz should help.

LOVE THIS PODCAST

First off Meaghan is such a wonderful host! This podcast is so fun and informative, I try to listen to an Episode, or part of one, every day in the morning to start off the day motivated. Blogging can be a lonely business, and listening to other bloggers who have struggles and successes similar to mine is sometimes the only thing that keeps me going! Thank you for all the valuable lessons!l and keep it coming
Dahnb

Valuable resource for bloggers

Megan has a steady stream of expert guests who offer insightful tips and advice. Megan‘s positive and energetic attitude shines through in every episode, making it a joy to listen to. Her own experiences as a food blogger make her relatable, and she’s transparent about her successes and failures. It feels like Megan is on the journey with you. Megan understands the challenges and triumphs of food blogging firsthand, and her willingness to share her personal journey adds an extra layer of depth, and authenticity to the podcast.

I’m not even a Food Blogger

I write about Belize - a travel/expat blog - and I find lots of great stuff here: thank you!
the_mixx

valuable & motivational & good-hearted!

Thank you, Megan, for your incredible podcast. I love how it explores the high-level as well as minute details & tactics of bloggers, both large and small. I believe we all have something to learn from everyone! There is always a valuable takeaway with every episode! Thank you also for your kindness and open mind. I value that more now than ever. You are never judging, and your heart is always open! That is something we can all be inspired by. And lastly, you are a Minnesota girl, so you get extra credit in my book!
Traci8888

Best episode is 393

The guest on this episode was so well spoken, and provided so much usable information. You should definitely have her back multiple times to talk about other mistakes she sees across the board. I noticed a lot of the things she touched on, and I think she can talk about a lot more. This was information that the bloggers need to hear and all of us can benefit. It’s been my favorite episode that’s far.

Best of all the food blog focused podcasts

I’ve been listening to food blog focus podcast for the last five years and this one is by far my favorite! I like that Megan’s guests are often more relatable than focusing on just interviewing industry moguls. That makes it so much more helpful since what works for the biggest bloggers typically either isn’t current or doesn’t work for the rest of us. It’s immensely helpful to hear what’s working from others right now and this podcast always delivers on that. The length is perfect to dive into just enough info to be helpful without getting bogged down in the weeds or being too fluffy and high level. Keep up the great work!!
C Siebold

Amazing Info and Inspo!

Both informative and inspirational - Megan brings on great guests and she’s so generous with her own insights and experiences. Eat Blog Talk was instrumental in me launching my own food blog and I’m still a devoted listener. I learn something new every episode. Thanks for creating such valuable content!
debbie.truman

Genuine and Always Skill Growing

I always look forward to the latest episode releases. Full transparency, re-listen to the old ones too. The guests that have been featured all have different knowledge that they share. Megan’s questions are truly genuine and also dig deeper into the subject matter. Appreciate all the time and thoughtfulness that goes into Eat. Blog.Talk.

Great blogging podcast

Awesome podcast for bloggers in any niche.
LoveRabbitFood

The best food blog podcast available

I am starting a food blog while I’m working in my current career and I am commuting a hour to and from work. I wanted to educate myself on food blogging while I was driving and I searched for a food blog that had info on seo, keyword, photography, etc… I came across Megan’s blog and I have listened to 8 of Megan’s episodes so far and I cannot believe how much I have learned from just 8 episodes. I wish I could take notes while driving there is so much information! I highly recommend.

Megan covers so much good stuff in here, and ALL of it is relevant for food bloggers, but the vast majority (mindet, SEO, etc) is valuable for my friends outside of the food space as well. Highly recommend!
