Splendid Table just did an episode on women in cooking - very interesting and inspiring (even to someone who is an environmental scientist and not in the food scene at all!)
Many of the food-themed podcasts from the Commonwealth Club are highly enlightening. The Commonwealth Club is a general interest public affairs forum, not a food-focused group.
They cover topics ranging from agriculture, politics, nuclear power, AIDS, whatever and feature anyone from baseball managers to Nobel laureates. This may be the finest public affairs podcast in the spoken English language.
In addition to Burnt Toast (:)) I like Eater Upsell, especially episode with Michael Solomonov episode, and Radio Cherry Bombe, especially the one with Amanda Cohen.
I also agree with Splendid Table. You learn so much about food, the origin of food and how to cook it properly. Plus, you get to learn about food you never heard about. Absolutely the best podcast on food there is in my opinion.
Oh and there's a Fresh Air with Ruth Reichl that's great where Ruth talks about what an awful cook her mother was and Teri divulges how charmingly inept she is in the kitchen.
