''Bite Club''

Acast and BuzzFeed have announced the first offering feom the slate of six podcasts from BuzzFeed Studios. The podcast, "Bite Club," will premiere on April 18, hosted by Jasmine Pak and Katie Aubin of Tasty. Bite Club is a conversation show about the snacks, treats, and bites that make us who we are, from childhood favorites to today's trendiest treats and everything in between.

Each week, friends Jasmine and Katie put together a definitive food-oriented List of the Week, laying their hottest takes on the table on subjects like first date meals, dinner party desserts, movie snacks (that are not popcorn) and more. Listeners will get to hear our foodie hosts and their occasional special guests hash it out on the mic and debate the superiority of one bite to another in real time.

BuzzFeed and Acast also announced that the second podcast on their slate will launch in the coming months, from the world of BuzzFeed Unsolved. The podcast will feature conversations about unexplained phenomena, unsolved mysteries, and conspiracy theories, all broken down from the unique perspective of its hosts.

"Food brings people together -- tapping into the traditions and culture we share with one another and sparking the type of engaging conversation that podcasting serves so well," said Acast Director of Development and Studios Tim Ruggeri. "We look forward to bringing Bite Club to every podcast platform and listening app out there so that it's accessible for communities everywhere."

"We're thrilled to kick off our new slate of podcasts in partnership with Acast and we couldn't be more excited that our inaugural series will dive into the delicious world of Tasty," added BuzzFeed Studios head of unscripted Paul Ricci. "With a diverse lineup of programming on the horizon, this is the first taste of what we have in store - and we can't wait for audiences to join us."
