Rosalind Erskine

Booking Overview

A regional food-and-drink interview podcast focused on Scotland’s culinary, hospitality, distilling, and rural food culture, typically featuring chefs, food producers, hospitality leaders, tourism representatives, and other local industry experts. Agencies could credibly pitch Scottish chefs, restaurateurs, distillers, food-business founders, sustainability leaders, and culinary-event specialists; booking difficulty is likely low because the show regularly features accessible professionals and regional experts rather than major celebrities.
