Kitchen Therapy with Glenn and Tobie
The Kitchen Therapy Podcast is hosted by friends Glenn Flood and Tobie Puttock. Both Glenn and Tobie are chefs of more than 20 years and met while operating Fifteen restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. On each episode the two chat with a Chef, usually a friend about anything at all really. Conversations vary from life in the kitchen in the 80's to punk music but the tone is almost always fun. We hope you love it. Season One was recorded via the internet during isolation due to Covid-19 in 2020 and so the audio quality is a little crappy but the conversation is awesome.
