22 - Specialty Coffee’s Impact on Food Culture with Matt Rodbard

Join us in conversation with food writer Matt Rodbard, the founding editor of the James‑Beard‑award‑winning TASTE and host of 'This Is TASTE' podcast. In this episode, we explore the overlap between specialty coffee and food culture, the growth of Michigan’s coffee scene, and why the way we roast and drink coffee matters.


Rodbard explains how he fell in love with coffee while reporting on under‑appreciated industries and describes visiting Ethiopian washing stations with Intelligentsia co‑founder Jeff Watts—an experience that changed his understanding of specialty coffee.
