Food for the Soul with Wilkine Brutus

Get your forks, spoons and spice shaker as we talk with journalist Wilkine Brutus about food, and specifically, the ways that food from all over the world brings us together. We talk about how food may be unfamiliar, but none of it is weird. Basically, it's about liking what you like.

Wilkine Brutus is a reporter/producer and host for WLRN, South Florida's NPR station. The award-winning, Haitian-American journalist produces stories on topics surrounding Palm Beach County, news, current affairs, arts and culture — for radio and web.

Before joining WLRN, Brutus worked as a Digital Reporter for the Palm Beach Post, producing print and video-based profiles of artists and entrepreneurs. Prior to that, he spent four years in South Korea as an English educator and freelance cultural journalist, amassing millions of views on his YouTube channel.

Brutus is the founder of Maps & Diaries, a new media production company highlighting cross-cultural stories, art and travel. "A Boat A Voyage," produced under the startup, is a 5-episode podcast exploring his Haitian mother’s account of her 1980's refugee experience in Miami and Cuba.
