Novel and Nosh
Novel & Nosh is a podcast about nourishment in all its forms; stories, seasons, food, books, and lived experience.
Each episode offers reflections and conversations that explore new ways of living, gathering, and finding belonging through shared moments. Across tables and through changing seasons, we collect stories that remind us we don’t have to do life alone.
This is a podcast for those who crave depth without hustle, presence over productivity, and connection that feels real.
