Show overview
This Is TASTE has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 777 episodes, alongside 2 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to roughly 720 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run thirty-five to sixty minutes — most land between 44 min and 1h 6m — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Arts show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed yesterday, with 65 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 192 episodes published. Published by Matt Rodbard.

Hafiz Mangalji is the founder of Hyunah Coffee Club, a reservations-only members’ space tucked into a Greenpoint, Brooklyn, studio where serious home brewers and industry obsessives come to use equipment many can’t afford to own themselves, drink coffees from roasters they’ve been following for years, and hang out with other people who care about water chemistry. In other words, this is completely our shit. For $30 a month, you get access to Weber Workshops grinders, Decent Espresso machines, a rotating global roaster marketplace, and a hi-fi sound system. It’s not a café. It’s not a class. It’s a club—and Hafiz talks about why that distinction matters. Subscribe to This Is TASTE: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube Learn more about your ad choices.
