This podcast is our window into the culture and trends across the industry…no digging for the scoop, it’s all here. The one for all industry participants.

HAVE to keep up as a bev founder. Love having this on when WFH / driving to stay up to date.

I was never into podcasts but as a CPG founder it kind of grew on me The best one out there

We’ve really enjoyed listening to this podcast as a start-up brand, from the guests to the dynamics of each host. They’re super tapped into what founders want to know!

I’ve been listening to this podcast for quite an awhile. The host is clearly experienced and does great interviews and the production quality is top-notch.

I’ve been in the CPG business for a long time. Most podcasts are hosted by armchair experts trying to sell a product or service. Ray Latif and Taste Radio, on the other hand, bring on a diverse array of experts for every show and ask the tough questions that get to the crux of the CPG business. If you want to learn about CPG, stay up to date on Food & Beverage, or simply be entertained, Taste Radio is a must-add to your routine.

This podcast does an amazing job of diving into what’s going on with some of the newest and upcoming CPG brands. Awesome source to stay up to date and learn valuable information.

Great podcast to stay up to speed on the latest CPG news. Host does a nice job asking the right questions to dig into topics at the right level.

Great industry feedback

I find these podcasts worth the listen. Just give it a try!

We have started a new brand of skincare drink and we have been listening to this podcast at the recommendation of our copacker. It is such an incredible resource for people like us, and fun to listen to as well! Thank you, Ray!!

Always on the forefront, amazingly insightful and entertaining host 🙌🏻 with consistently incredible guests

This is a great podcast for anyone interested in CPG - discover new fantastic products, hear about the trends and learn from great founders.

I love listening to the team discuss the industry, share information and dish on new products. Love it!

If you’re reading this, start listening to Taste Radio and thank me later

The crew always has awesome topics to go over, champions small brands (great discovery tool), and is hilarious to listen to! Ray, Mike, John, Jacqui, Monica, Melissa and the rest of the team, ya’ll are awesome!

As a brand owner, I can't tell you how much I enjoy listening to Taste Radio. From emerging brands and great guests to what's hot and what's not, I can't get enough. I always walk away from each episode pumped! Thanks, @Bevnet! - Bryan Willard Owner, Valley Isle Kombucha

I’ve learned so much about the beverage industry from these episodes. Really enjoy hearing the founder and investor perspectives, as well.

Loved this from the first episode!!!

Ray and team do the best job. Always worth a listen

Love this podcast.

I am a big fan of BevNet and Nosh. Enjoy listening to the content that Ray puts out. Listened to a few recently and found them super informative.

I work at a natural food startup and this is one of my most valuable hours of the week. They consistently break down the trends we need to know about and highlight companies and founders who are doing things the right way. Each week I walk away with 2-3 ideas to test at work. Thanks BevNet team for providing this incredible resource for our community.

Taste Radio should be required listening for anyone in business and especially anyone in the food and beverage business. Ray Latif is super knowledgeable and passionate about consumer packaged goods and consistently delivers compelling and insightful conversations with industry leaders as well as witty banter with his co-hosts.

I never walk away thinking “I want my time back!” Always entertaining and informative, thank you!!

I’ve been listing for years and have learned SO much about CPG, it’s like a mini “MBA” in startup CPG life. Literally recommend this to everyone, especially first-time founders. Ray is an incredibly skilled journalist who asks the hard business questions, but also has a very thoughtful interviewing style that always makes me feel after I listen, as if I’ve actually spent time with his guest. He’s also leading the way (before DEI was “trendy”) for sharing more diverse founder stories and heritage rich brands in an industry that for far too long has felt like a mostly white and male space. Mahalo, Ray!

I love the timely insights and updates Ray and the team bring to every episode. It’s the best way to stay up to speed on the rapidly-moving industry and brands. Appreciate the well-produced content!

Really enjoy the podcast and the guests insights. With they would bring on a few more food guests to balance against all the BEV guests

From insightful interviews with leaders of food and beverage brands, coupled with up-to-the-minute industry news, Taste Radio is the ultimate source and covers it all!

Some might call me a CPG savant, but really I just listen to this podcast & repeat what I learn 😅 If you’re tired of business podcasts that overuse words like “disruptive innovation” & “move the needle”,…. Then this podcast is your shot of espresso in a world of lukewarm decaf. Here’s what you can expect: -insights that are sharper than a sushi chefs knife -interviews with industry legends who tell it like it is -invaluable business & personal growth lessons nestled between witty banter, engaging conversation, and a whole lot of comedic relief

Love this show! As a founder, there’s a lot of “how I built this” type of content out there for me to listen to, which can be a little boring TBH. Taste Radio is newsy, fun, and when there are founder interviews, it’s not quite as fluffy and much more actionable. Ray is a real journalist with a knack for interviewing and getting to the core. Highly recommend!!

Taste Radio is the best podcast for listeners looking to stay up to date with all things Food and Beverage. Ray Latiff acts as a CPG Shaman, helping us navigate the ever changing landscape of crispy bevs and cutting edge snackers. I never miss an episode and northern should you!

Ray is a skillful, engaging and passionate interviewer.

Cannot thank the team at BevNET enough for putting out such an incredible podcast. I’m consistently impressed by the engaging conversations, insightful content, and actionable ideas. I truly learn something every time I tune in. 10/10 recommend!

Great industry talk and useful information.

Love hearing these valuable conversations and getting to pull back the curtain on what goes into building and growing a successful CPG brand. A must listen for any entrepreneur!

Loved it and great insight

The bevnet team does an incredible touching on poignant topics while providing some humor along the way. Great show.

I listened to 4 episodes in a row - the show and host Ray let founders in the think of growing their CPG food and beverage brands share the truth about being a founders and learning from every brave move they make to find success in the marketplace for their visions.

Love the team at BevNET and Nosh. They put on a great podcast with interviews from founders, current CEOs, and investors within the CPG industry. As a soon-to-be solo founder, the amount of insight is amazing especially to someone who comes from outside the food community. All in all, great listen!

Taste Radio was my first podcast subscription for the food and beverage industry. I don’t listen to every pod but when I see a catchy title, I take a listen and really enjoy the TR interviewees styles and direction. It’s a fun pod, and one I’m loyal too. I give it 4/5 only because lately many of the podcasts have been repetitive and bringing up startup company CEO and leaders and it would be good to hear from more established brands and executives. Also, it would be great to hear from co-packers and manufacturers to get their perspective, especially during the volatile supply and demand periods. Anyways, keep it up and thanks for providing a platform for us food and bev junkies.

If you work in CPG there are no if’s, ands, or buts about whether or not you should listen to this. You must! I get a MINIMUM of 1 vital takeaway for each episode that is put out. Hopefully we can hear more about some the non-alc category or frozen category.

I have listened to this podcast for the past 3 years and it has given me a ton of insight into the CPG industry. I have used this podcast to help me write a business plan for a college competition and used it as a blueprint to evaluate investments in CPG companies. Highly recommend Taste Radio to anyone.

I’m getting ready to launch my first CPG food business this winter and this Podcast has been so helpful to listen to in the car and on walks to learn more about the industry. I love hearing from founders and pick up new tips and strategies every episode!

My favorite food and beverage/CPG podcast hands down.

As an emerging brand in the organic and vegan food space, I’ve learned a lot from Ray’s guests. Ray does a good job of asking pertinent questions.

Fantastic commentary and great perspective every week. One of the best Resources out there. It’s a Must listen.

As my husband and I start our own CPG brand, Taste Radio has been like a personal mentor for learning the ins and outs of the industry. An absolute must for anyone starting their own CPG brand!

I’m a founder of a small snack brand - Sandbox Snack Co. - and Taste Radio has been an excellent source of info from idea through launch. It’s been great hearing stories from founders and other folks in the industry. A must-subscribe for founders!

I’m a founder of a new beverage brand that is about to launch. Listening to this podcast has given me so much knowledge, and preparation to have a successful brand. Love the podcast can’t wait to attend events and so much more.
