Food #172

Since Jungle Jim’s International Market is such a wonderfully mad world of flavors, we decided to create a Podcast to talk about it! Join us on a super safari as we explore the world of food, plus discuss people, art, culture, and more! We'll also be peeling back the curtain to show you some secrets about Jungle Jim's. We hope you're as excited as we are. Stay tuned as we release future episodes.

    Intro slaps!! Certified banger!!!
  • Phil Armstrong
    Wholesome and Fun
    I just started listening to this show as a result of following Mark on Twitter. His enthusiasm for everything he talks about on the show is contagious, and the YouTube counterpart to this podcast is also great. Highly recommend checking it out.
  • Mr_Pyrite
    The show is as unique as the store!
    I love listening to the history of this store, getting information about unique products, where the store will be going in the future and what the store has done for the community. In a recent podcast I listened to it was mentioned what could be done with the podcast room when not in use. You need some animals that you can set up as props to look like they’re creating a podcast when you don’t have people in there.

    Great show!
    Mark kickass! He’s one lucky potato!
  • ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ :)
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️8/5⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Entertaining content to listen to while doing ideal tasks like cooking, cleaning, driving, desk work or stocking shelves. Every episode you’ll learn something new about business, food, international cultures, local lore, and much more. An amazing resource for people in Cincinnati looking for fun community driven events. Mark is a very genuine and down to earth guy, very approachable, very easy to talk to. I’d rate him the #2 content creator named Mark from Cincinnati (sorry big fan of Markiplier)

  • cajunsquid
    What a great podcast!
    Take it from me, a guy on the internet, that Mark is the best host of a podcast in the world. Thank you Apple, for providing the technology for me to listen to podcasts.
  • beachyea
    One of the best local Cincinnati podcasts
    Mark is hilarious and brings a new life to Jungle Jim's! Give the team a billion stars
  • OUTCincinnati
    Fills me up every time!
    I learn so much from Mark and the guests he has on the show. Jungle Jim’s is a great place and this Podcast is saucy.
  • TakeItFromJake
    Best podcast on the internet…
    You think this podcast would just be a long commercial for Jungle Jim’s. but Mark (aka Cheddar) is one of the best hosts in the game! He brings in some of the coolest people in the region to talk food, culture, drinks, what’s happening in the city & everything in between! if you dig food and funny this is a podcast for you! My recommendation is essentially a guarantee… listen to Jungle Jim’s podcast with Mark Borison!
  • Hot Sauce Mike
    Best way to start my mornings
    I love starting my days listing to the jungle Jim’s podcast. Especially when I get to listen to Marks sexy voice ❤️.. The jungle jims podcast is very entertaining and a informative podcast if you’re a foodie..
  • mankerhy
    This Makes My Day
    Honestly, I just love listening in on this when my day feels like it’s stale. I really love listening to Mark interact with guests and all of his antics. He’s personable, funny, and captures the essence of Jungle Jim’s perfectly. If you like comedy, being educated in a way that doesn’t make you doubt your own abilities, and food: smash that download button and listen on in.

    The Adventure
    Who would have thought an hour podcast episode each week could turn your whole week around. Well it can and it does. The Jungle Jim's Podcast hosted by Mark truly turns a frown into a smile. Not only are you showered with light and excitement, but with cool facts, crazy foods, and a full adventure of storytelling, music, and culture. So give your week a chance and listen! Can't wait to see your smiles :)

    Jungle Jim’s Podcast
    Mark is the best host there is and the topics are always interesting!
  • WarriorsKitty10
    No potty mouths
    The cursing needs to stop. For crying out loud, you’re adults people. It’s a podcast about a grocery store and food. Good grief try to pretend you have some self control and class. For once.
  • ozzy4018
    Very swag
    Mark is very swag and the production value is absolutely minging
  • Local Ta'veren

    Informative. Educational. Edgy. And in tune with current events. Love the show. Keep it up

    Mark Rocks the Jungle
    Mark is a wonderful human being with great talent. Mark is able to tell fantastic stories with a fantastic talent to pull out conversations with people who may not be great public speakers. His work draws one into the Jungle & will leave you with the desire to take a culinary adventure outside of your comfort zone. I love being nudged about food I have little information on which will help us to create new dinners at home. Mark brings a community feel to Jungle Jims where I feel welcomed to stop by, bug him, be inspired and to deep dive into these special products one will find at the Jungle. I hope soon to enjoy a beer & shopping experiance with him. Let Mark be your tour guide to all great things happening at the Jungle. This skipper will not stear you wrong!
  • Kenshin2030
    Listen to the sounds in the jungle
    A very fun podcast with a fun host who is our guide and asks questions for us as he takes us on a journey through the many different cultures and foods around the world. Worth listening to and checking out. Keep ‘em coming! Lol
  • DjNickFizzle
    What a great show! Mark is perfect!!!
    I’ve always said that Jungle Jim’s is the best store on Earth. It’s like if Willy Wonka created a grocery store, stocked it with the finest ingredients on the planet, added some animatronics - and created an entire experience. There’s just no place like it in the World. This podcast is everything you want it to be - Mark is the perfect host: he’s witty, hilarious, adventurous and has fine epicurean taste - and because of this has you tuning in and checking in frequently. You never know what direction the podcast is going to go, what he’ll be tasting or trying, or doing next - it’s a blast! Thanks for producing such an awesome show!!!
  • Christine 311
    Informative and funny
    This podcast is fantastic! Mark is compelling and funny, and a very engaging host. His interview style makes a seemingly “uninteresting” guest really pop and actually really leave you wanting to explore the topic more. This is all I listen to in the car anymore!
  • Samantha Creekmore
    I love Mark!
    He’s so full of adjectives and positivity. ♥️
  • definitely not cody
    Great podcast
    I absolutely love this show. Mark is a great person and an even better podcast host. Love hearing Jungle on the show and marks lineup of interesting guests. I’ve been in the studio before and it’s beautiful. Hopefully one day I’ll be cool enough to do the show myself. Much love hope the show goes on for many years to come.
  • Meowmix333333
    Incredible
    Mark brings awesome insight and new ideas! Every episode makes me want to take a trip to jungle Jim’s! All the while keeping it entertaining.
  • Tricky29
    Great Listens from the Jungle!
    Really glad that I tuned into this before the end of 2021 and will definitely be tuning in in 2022!! Totally enjoyed the live music. Keep up the on the spot customer stories. The customers keep the jungle alive! Also happy to learn about the discovery program. Will be watching for more information about that in The future. Thanks Mark! Welcome to Fairfield.

  • natigirlknits
    WJJI makes Wednesdays my favorite day of the week!
    I’ll start by saying I’m not a podcast person, but this is a gem! WJJI is a delightful mix of reviews, interviews, and stories that I truly look forward to each week. The host is incredibly knowledgeable about food and does a darn good interview. For example, I am not a hot sauce fan, but when Mark brought in a hot sauce maker, he made it so interesting that I was sad when the section ended. Do yourself a favor and subscribe!

    Jungle Jim’s podcast
    One of the great things about visiting jungle Jim’s is the exploration of new things. Mark the host does a fantastic job tapping into what makes the jungle Jim’s experience so exciting for new comers or people who enjoy visiting frequently. The podcast is informative, and fun. With Marks animated commentary and personality at the helm, as well as his ability to connect with his guest, he’s able to deliver the passion and expertise of his guest to his listeners in every episode
  • bobby sac
    Wild, informative, interesting, and funny
    This is a great podcast with a fun twist on food and lifestyle. So cool there’s a podcast at a giant grocery store!
  • BlasterBOT
    Fun and Informative
    Great show, Great Host, Great place IRL
  • Kevin Temple
    Great interviews!
    Mark is a great host that asks questions that pull on his guests’ passions and engages the audience. There’s been a bunch of great information coming out of this show. I can’t wait until he can pull guests like Brad Leone from Bon Appetite’s “it’s alive” series. I think he would really enjoy the wild nature of The Jungle!
  • chrisfish21
    Awesome Sauce!

    Great Podcast
    I re-downloaded the Apple Podcast just so I could leave a review of this great show. Fun topics, great show, great store. Thanks Mark!
  • creativefoodlover
    Enjoyed it !! Finally an interesting and great food podcast
    Finally a podcast with that's informative, fun and never boring
  • EdQ456
    Great Food and Great times!
    This show is a good and entertaining way to talk about food. Honestly I’m not a foodie, but this show has gotten me thinking about different kinds of food in different ways. The recent holiday episodes were great. I especially enjoyed that segment about cheese. The only issue is this show makes me so darn hungry. I do not recommend listening to this show on an empty stomach (like I have done more than once)! 😱

    Taste of something Different
    Jungle Jim’s is one of the most unique shopping experiences on earth and Mark is like a great cheese to go with this fine wine. I love getting to see behind the curtain at how this crazy place runs and I really enjoy the other eclectic content in every episode. This is more than just another food podcast, it’s an experience!
  • ShelleyB1982
    Love WJJI!
    I love JJ’s, and I love having a little inside track through this podcast! Mark is a great host, and the content has been fun and engaging. I enjoy the interviews; they give the store and the show a personal touch that the fans crave. Keep up the great work!
  • dbonaminio
    I listen every week!
    So good! Packed the great foodie info with tons of personality, mark is the man. I want to buy a holiday basket w all of the items he’s talked about so far!!
  • Sexual Harris
    Best grocery store podcast out there
    If you’re sitting there thinking “maybe a podcast about a grocery store isn’t for me” you are wrong. This show is that and so much more. With the most charming host in the game you can’t help but tell everybody you know just how great The Jungle Jim’s Podcast really is.
  • Bojangles' third eye
    Fun and interesting!
    My favorite store has a podcast? Yes, please!
  • kr0nd0n
    Awesome
    Mark is an incredible host. I use to work in the same plaza and he often came into my work and he’s such a cool guy! The podcast is amazing so far. I loved the scary story episode. Mark is great at hosting the show and interviewing the guests.
  • M.C. Emery
    5/7 Perfect scrore!
    Before the Jungle Jim's Podcast, I didn't even know what a banana was! Mark is funny and smart, and he definitely has the face for Podcasts!

    I bought a new fruit because it was described in this podcast. Mark has made me a healthier human and for that I am eternally grateful.
  • Cara_mel04
    Listen to this podcast now!
    I am from Indiana, about 2 hours away from Cincy, and visit Jungle Jim’s when I’m in the area (usually a handful of times a year.) When I went a few days ago I was blown away when I saw the podcast studio since last time I was there (July) it wasn’t there. I listened to the podcast all the way home and it is fascinating. I love the interviews with the employees, getting to know what goes on behind the scenes at the store. I enjoy the taste testing segment a lot because it gives me ideas of what to try on my next visit. Mark is a great host. I think we have some similar interests, so it makes it feel like I’m listening to a friend tell me about their day (450 North in the fridge here too;) It has definitely made me want to make time for more frequent trips to Jungle Jim’s. Hopefully next time I can catch Mark in the studio, and maybe the sound of me pushing my cart past the window will be heard on the podcast😁
  • Dr. KayCee
    Listen and subscribe - no regrets!
    Don’t know how Mark has done it but he’s made me love Jungle Jim’s EVEN MORE. I didn’t think it was possible! Every episode has been entertaining thus far and incredibly fresh, just like the produce at JJ’s, and I look forward to the drop every week. As a person who no longer lives in the Cincinnati area, I DEPEND on this podcast to get my JJ’s fix. This podcast highlights the people and ideas that make Jungle Jim’s a destination and the grocery store standard all should try to emulate. Come join the banana bunch!
