Proof is an award-winning narrative podcast from America's Test Kitchen hosted by James Beard Award-winning journalist Kevin Pang. It’s a podcast that takes listeners into the curious, often unexamined and unexpected corners of the food world, and turns seemingly small questions into expansive storytelling journeys. The questions that Proof stories dive into shouldn’t have easily Google-able answers.
In the last 12 months, Proof was named Best Podcast from the International Association of Culinary Professionals, and nominated for Best Food Podcast from the iHeart Podcasts Awards and the Signal Awards.
We’re currently looking for pitches to fill our Season 13 and 14 lineup.
Here is a sample of past Proof episodes:
