Podcast

You may have noticed that we are publishing a day late. You can partially blame that on the holiday weekend, but really, it is because Evan’s laptop is currently on a UPS truck to New York to get its display repaired, which broke right after we finished recording last week. So, we had to get […]

Busy weeks for Hans and Evan meant we didn’t exactly come locked and loaded with a stacked episode this week. But you know who did come stacked for their online presentation this week? DC with their new film slate at their online “DC Fandome” event. Evan (as well as Hans to a much lesser degree)

The CDC issued a new report that showed a marked increase in mental health issues and substance abuse. We talk to Medical Professional Scott Bradford about it. He believes this is a significant problem that is being underreported in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Listen to our conversation to see what it all means.

Hans and Evan are back! A good hiatus isn’t worth much if you don’t talk about what you did and what you learned. That leads Hans to a discussion about coaching baseball THE RIPKEN WAY! And then we answer your burning questions you had for us the break about Bon Iver, Taylor Swift and the

To some of our favorite topics. What might COVID do for the church negatively? Have you seen the Alicia Keys Tiny Desk concert? Also, somehow old

Evan is back and we are all happy about it! It was time to get back to the basics—a normal flow of a show. A recent article on empathy got us wondering how thinly you can slice words before they mean almost nothing. That convo reminded us of how difficult it is to teach well.

Evan was out of commission for an evening, but Hans roped in his brother, Dale, to come join for the podcast. They previously had a podcast (Pastor and Plebe) that was more of a freeform podcast and gave it a run again for this episode. Guilty consciences, race, and selfishness all show up in this

We join up with friend and nearby pastor Kevin Bowles to discuss the numerous things running through our minds as we consider how to resume public services.
