Curated, independent, high-quality faith-inspired creativity

Oodles of new and beaten pass Christian artists and songwriters get featured every episode, stuff you could never find on the radio, which Has, like many parts of the media industry, then the consolidated so much that there’s very little room for creativity or diversity. But not here it’s a labor of love for host Dave Trout to try to curate a wide range of content, which she does with a help of a panel of critics submissions from listeners. I don’t always love every songs, but that’s the beauty of it. It’s opening me up to new voices, for the chance to find the diamond in the rough, or the hidden gem, or even to take my ears somewhere and Internet algorithm wouldn’t have. I also appreciate the platform. This is new and independent artists, Nurturing, grassroots music making from real people.

Perfect start to my day!

A friend introduced me to the Gourmet Music podcast a few years ago and I immediately was hooked! I anxiously await each new episode! I love the inspiring music that you won’t hear on the radio. I listen to it faithfully while getting ready in the morning and it is the perfect start to my day!
