Andrew Rea, known online as Babish, is launching a new podcast titled "In the Booth with Babish" featuring interviews with chefs and celebrities.
The series represents a shift in digital culinary content by blending the traditional interview format with active food preparation. This approach allows Rea to engage guests in conversational dialogue while simultaneously demonstrating cooking techniques, bridging the gap between a standard talk show and a cooking demonstration.
The program is part of the Vox Media Podcast Network and will be available on YouTube as well as major podcast platforms [2]. By utilizing both video and audio distribution, the show targets a broad audience across different media consumption habits.
Rea said the format provides a natural environment for guests to share their stories while working with food [1]. The production focuses on the synergy between the culinary process and the personal narratives of the industry professionals and public figures appearing on the show.
The first episode of the series is scheduled for release on May 26, 2024 [1].

The launch of this podcast reflects the continuing trend of 'multi-hyphenate' content creation, where established YouTube personalities expand into traditional podcasting networks to diversify their reach. By integrating the Vox Media Podcast Network, Rea is leveraging institutional distribution to scale a format that combines lifestyle content with professional culinary insight.
