  • Summary

  • Dirty Linen goes behind the scenes in restaurants, cafes and bars, covering issues the hospitality industry finds hard to share in public - it's all up for grabs and everything is on the table. Your host is food journalist Dani Valent. For 20 years, Dani has been writing about restaurants and the people who give them life. But she's an outsider, a critic, a tourist, a fan. Despite hearing the stories and writing the tales, she's never really understood what happens behind the scenes. Now it's time to get stuck in, with compassion, humour and fearlessness. Dirty Linen goes deep, both in conversations with individuals and in pressing topics. We ask the hard questions and discuss the big issues, bringing a unique perspective to a world that we all intersect with but often don’t understand. Dirty Linen is a Deep in the Weeds Production.

  • Matt Adams (Timbre, Tasmania) - fed by and feeding community

    Matt Adams (Timbre, Tasmania) - fed by and feeding community
    Apr 27 2025
    When he launched Timbre in Tasmania in 2016, Matt Adams told nearby backyard growers that he’d exchange their excess produce for dining vouchers. Without any kind of strategy or a plan, that’s turned into a restaurant that is fed by and feeds community, upending its owner’s notions about what a food business actually is. How does it work? How does it feel? And how can you have a slice of it? https://www.timbrekitchen.com SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.

  • Grampians Wimmera Mallee Episode 7 - The Producers: Claire Morgan (Rupanyup Living) - farmer, maker and regional advocate

    Grampians Wimmera Mallee Episode 7 - The Producers: Claire Morgan (Rupanyup Living) - farmer, maker and regional advocate
    Apr 22 2025
    Claire Morgan is a farmer, maker and regional advocate, helping people understand where their food comes from and how important it is to have thriving rural towns. She’s growing chickpeas and making chickpea brownies and along the way she’s showing locals and visitors that Rupanyup really is a ‘town with pulse’. This episode is part of a special Dirty Linen and Producers series about the Grampians, Wimmera and Mallee regions in western Victoria. We drove the roads, saw the sights, said hello to the roos and emus, met the people, ate the food, drank the wine and generally soaked up the delights. Listen to more episodes about the Grampians Wimmera Mallee. We hope you’ll plan a trip to the region and listen to stories of this fun, fascinating part of the world as you travel. The series is supported by Visit Victoria. https://rupanyupliving.com.au/?srsltid=AfmBOopoNMln-0khgObt-mF1sxeORHxHyU4CawP8eSRTJS4B07Jf_QWs SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER FOR EXCLUSIVE ARTICLES, NEWS, GIVEAWAYS AND BEHIND THE SCENES https://deepintheweeds.us6.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=d33e307cf7100cf947e2e6973&id=d17d8213f5 Follow The Producers on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/producerspodcast/ Host Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Host Anthony Huckstep https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ Executive Producer Rob Locke https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork The Producers is a food podcast telling the stories of producers, farmers, growers and makers..
