If you listened to the Grammy-winning singer/songwriter in the ’90s, she wants you to know she’s *still* making music:[ Ani DiFranco](https://anidifranco.com/?ref=cascadepbs.org) just released her 23rd album!

Ani is known for lyrics that explore politics, social justice and feminism, but in real life she is smiley, friendly and down-to-earth – not the “angry feminist” she was often mislabeled as.

Ani grew up in Buffalo, New York, where she was tasked with cooking dinner for her family starting at age 9\. Today she enjoys cooking for her own family in New Orleans – a soothing ritual that balances the craziness of touring.

Ani says she’ll eat anything, so I pulled out a list of America’s most hated foods & quizzed her – listen in to hear what they are! And a social psychologist joins the show to talk about how a country’s culture influences our likes and dislikes.

Plus, Ani’s opinion of school lunch and a story about a school district that refuses to dumb down dishes for its young eaters.
