Iconic cookbook author Ina Garten is making a splash on YouTube with her new video podcast, 'Happy Hour,' in collaboration with Vox Media. This shift from television to streaming allows Garten to host engaging conversations from her New York City apartment.
In 'Happy Hour,' Garten will invite notable guests from diverse fields such as culture, food, and entertainment, creating an intimate atmosphere reminiscent of a cozy dinner party. She explained, "I want Happy Hour to feel like you’re right there in the kitchen with us, having a drink and joining the conversation."

Lillian Xu, VP of podcast business at Vox Media, remarked on Garten's unique ability to make her guests feel at ease, promising viewers a delightful and engaging experience every Wednesday.
