Walk-In Talk Podcast

Carl Fiadini

Booking Overview

This is a B2B foodservice and hospitality interview podcast featuring chefs, restaurateurs, operators, suppliers, food-safety professionals, and other industry leaders, with occasional recurring segments and specialized series. Agencies could credibly pitch experienced culinary executives, restaurant and hospitality operators, food-safety experts, foodservice innovators, and leaders addressing workforce or mental-health issues; booking difficulty is low because the show regularly features accessible industry professionals rather than only nationally prominent figures.
