My friends over on Twitter talk chocolate all the time. And it doesn’t seem to matter who starts the subject, once it’s mentioned it will go on for a long time. Let’s face it. We love chocolate! I personally try to have some type of chocolate every single day.
One day a month or two ago, Kelly McCausey mentioned that somebody should start a chocolate of the month club. It’s been weighing on my mind ever since. You see, I am a chocolate addict. I am obsessed with chocolate. When I worked at my last job (before coming home full time) I was a graphic designer at the local newspaper. It didn’t take long for the salespeople to learn to bring Shannon chocolate when they wanted to ask for the moon. They would offer dinner, pizza, whatever. I would say just bring me chocolate.
Slowly the idea for a chocolate podcast was born. I have put it off because I was thinking I was just being silly. Who really wanted a chocolate podcast? Meanwhile, Kelly keeps twittering about somebody starting a chocolate of the month club. So the other night I casually mention to my friend Annette Yen that I was playing with the idea of starting a chocolate podcast. I think I met somebody as obsessed as me because she was not going to let me let go of the idea.
Let’s Talk Chocolate was born.
If you have ideas or suggestions for future shows, please leave a comment. I would love to receive samples of the chocolate you sell and review them on my podcast. I’m currently waiting on some Bada Bing from My Little Taste of Italy that I won at a chat a couple weeks ago. I think it’s going to be my first on air review.

Shannon! Awesome idea!
You really need to do live, on air, tastings and reviews! We’ll get to listen to your first reaction the minute it hits your lips!

Looking forward to hearing you chomp on some chocolate!
Hugs,
