    Love Kira

    Great interview bad sound quality
    This show could be so much better if the guest had a microphone and could be heard. The parts that I could hear were great but the sound is inconsistent and I missed out on so much of the dialogue that I finally turned it off.

    My favorite podcast - even with Kira
    My favorite episodes are the ones without Kira. I love listening to Tom’s conversations with restauranteurs and the perils of missing a payroll or having to show up early to your favorite eatery before the senior citizens eat all the spare ribs. There is the original Breaking Bread with Tom Papa, in which you actually feel like you’re sitting at the table in some gritty dive with the best food in town, an up-and-coming sommelier, and a celebrity patron list that would make Chasen’s weep. Papa has a podcast gift of creating an intimate setting for some great conversations. Now there’s Breaking Bread with Kira. The intimate dinner conversation is gone. The dive speakeasy is gone. It’s basically Kira whining about PTA meetings and kiddie birthday parties. But Tom’s still there and he’s still shining. Just less so. Tom, if you’re reading this, no offense to Kira. But your original format was ethereal *and* gritty. Addictive. Please consider going back.

    Go It Alone 2
    I agree with the other guy. Tom you don’t need the other guy. It’s your slow, not Kira. I had to stop, switched the listen. What ? You don’t need to piggyback Tom. Kira you can get your own podcast.

    Go it alone
    Love the the show Tom but please spare the winy drivel of Kira!. You can hold you own on the show with interesting guest. Kira just takes the ambiance away and just keviches and moans and about EVERYTHING and if I have to hear about her checking her kids butt I am going to smash my my car radio. You were much much better alone. Please tel her to stay home or get her own podcast she adds nothing to what was once a great great podcast!!! I have stopped listening an worst stop buying all the great products you promote. Long time fan and listener Ken Blanford

    Thought provoking podcast
    So far this has been a great podcast and I love Tom Papa. His podcast (IMO) had broadened my thinking and solidified thoughts and beliefs. It’s fun, interesting and thought provoking . Kudos to Tom for being more patient with the fringe opinions of some of his guests and friends that I wouldn’t be able to tolerate. Lol. (Like episode 23- solidified my thoughts about who Rogan is; and reinforced why I don’t like him)

    Tom’s enjoyment shines through
    Really enjoy the show. Tom Papa’s approach both food and people as genuine, curious, and fun really shines through. You can learn, you can laugh, you’ll be exposed to cool ppl and their stories. Tom - you should try to setup an episode with someone from the Southern Foodways Alliance! They’re an awesome organization and I think you’d dig their approach to food media and scholarship. They do a pod called Gravy…check it out

    Great Show
    Tom Papa brings warmth, humor and humility to this podcast. He seems genuinely invested in learning about his guests and gives them the space to share so listeners can get to know every person. His love of food and family is infectious!

    Breaking Bread with Tom Papa
    Been loving this podcast. Delightful listening during pandemic. Host, Tom Papa is witty and charming, and the exchange with his guests are lighthearted and fun. The guy is sweet - and, being that my name is Tom and that my (5) sons call me Papa, I feel like I have a brother in spirit
  • curstkate
    Great podcast!
    As a baker who feels I missed my calling in stand up, this podcast is one of my favorites! The conversations are always interesting, great to listen to while I’m baking.

    It’s like listening to paint dry.
  • smitty6370
    A lovely listen!
    Listening to this brings me joy! With every episode I feel like I’m sitting within earshot of Tom and his friend at a restaurant as they talk about their lives and interests, share funny moments, and yes, break bread or enjoy a nice smoked Gouda.
  • Bambootim

    Been loving your stuff for YEARS and still do Tom!
    Had a long road trip yesterday with my adult daughter, dailed up your Breaking Bread and now she loves it too. Been a rough streach in our family lately and you bring us joy and more joy. Thanks Tom! - David

    Thoughts on family guests
    Quick review… If you’re a fan of Tom Papa then this is a must listen. You won’t be disappointed and everyone could use more positivity each week in their lives. Now, the real reason I’m commenting is that I think you should have any relative be a main guest on the podcast that wants to. I know a lot of us would love to hear the personal stories that they can share about you. Brad from Hagerstown (Yes, that one)

    Lighthearted easy listening
    It’s everything we all need now. Just discovered it, I’m afraid I’m going to be caught up way sooner than I expected... and have to wait around for new podcasts to air.
  • waxahnwaxoff
    Food and Humor is a winning combo
    Enjoy the pod but for the love of all that is holy please find new intro music. I have dropped my phone multiple times racing for the fast forward button.

    Best Part of the Week
    Tom Papa is not only one of the funniest comedians working today, he’s also clearly one of the nicest. It’s such a joy to listen to him interview a fantastic slate of comedians, writers, actors, and food personalities. It’s clear this is a topic he truly cares about, and that joy comes through. Thanks Tom!

    Donna Lennard “home taught chef”
    Love the show. Your hilarious! But I am a bit upset with you. Back when I was on The Marriage Ref you all made fun of me for being a “home taught chef” you and Jimmy made comments like I was no good because I was home taught. Made jokes like let’s go to that new restaurant owned by the home taught chef. Yet you love Donna Lennard who claims she’s a home taught chef. Not cool Papa. Not cool. Milt “Goldie” Drewer

  • ChereSanibel
    Episode 25 disappointing
    Geez Tom, I go to Breaking Bread to get away from politics. I did listen all the way through and you’ve yet convinced me to hop over to your side. It all sounds good in theory but no one mentions a concrete, practical way to go about it.
  • Alicia.Lynn.
    Papa
    Calm, inquisitive, dreamer... I would eat gluten and drink wine to watch but I’m really vapin THC/CBD holding my phone awkwardly. Someday everything will be a wonderful normal.
  • anotherlawnboy
    Amazing Show
    Love the format. I’ve gotten to know a lot of comedians I have adored for years in a real one on one setting. Learning more about their lives has made their material come alive. That said - skip the Joe Rogan episode.
  • Kidneybean1970
    Pants on fire. Pants on fire.
    Subscribe to the unique and amble mind of Tom Papa. This Breaking Bread podcast highlights the diversity and happy energy I love.

    “Grabbed me by the bangs”
    My students hear all the authentic and marvelous one liners from this podcast. The laughter, camaraderie and food fetish is a celebration and even if you had no idea what almond flour is, ages Kinder to Geezer will love this stomach grumbling giggle-fest.
