SoCal Voices
SoCal Voices is an award-winning podcast that shares authentic stories and local wisdom to help Southern Californians navigate the region’s challenges and thrive in the place we call home.
Beyond the stunning coastline, golden sunsets, and endless calendar of world-class events and experiences… lies a different story.
Sky-high living costs. Soul-crushing commutes. The quiet ache for connection and purpose in the middle of all this sprawl.
SoCal Voices Podcast is your companion through it all. We hold space for both the beauty and the burnout — offering real talk, local insight, and honest inspiration to help you navigate life in this one-of-a-kind place.
Because Southern California isn’t just a dream. It’s a real place — and you deserve to feel grounded in it.
SoCal Voices. Real talk in the land of dreams.

What SNAP Changes Mean for Local Food Banks
The Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” included funding cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program known as SNAP. These cuts mean Southern Californians dealing with food insecurity may need to turn to local food banks in increasing numbers to put food on the table. In this episode of SoCal Voices, Rachel Bonilla of Feeding America Riverside-San Bernardino, explains how her organization is preparing for the potential increased demand, and how Southern Californians can come together to help meet the growing need.
