There's a particular kind of magic that happens when people gather in a kitchen, or around a table, and the talk turns to what really matters. Everybody Eats captures that feeling, exploring how food is so much more than just sustenance-it's a story, a heritage, and a powerful force for community. Produced by JOY 94.9, this podcast comes from the heart of the Rainbow Community, weaving together queer perspectives with a deep love for everything culinary. Each episode feels like joining a warm, insightful conversation among friends, where discussions about identity, culture, and life are as essential as the recipes and food histories being shared. You'll hear from a diverse range of voices within the LGBTIQA+ communities, all connected by their experiences with food, from gardening and home cooking to its role in art and leisure. The result is a rich, thoughtful, and often delicious audio experience that examines how the meals we make and share shape our personal and collective worlds. Tune in for a podcast that truly understands how food and queer conversation nourish us in the very same way.
