Greetings, Congregation! This is, bar none, the most enjoyable conversation I've had in awhile, and also the longest.

Jonny is known for his incredible vocal talent that he lent to bands like Dance Gavin Dance, Emarosa, Slaves, Isles & Glaciers, and an extensive solo career. Jonny is probably equally well-known for his public episodes of addiction. I wanted to hear from the man himself wh...

Greetings, Congregation! This is an episode you don't want to miss. We bring on none other than the little brother of our former co-host and co-founder Jay.

Greetings, Congregation! This week was an amazing conversation. One of Jed's early friends from sobriety, Moe Solet, stops by to tell his story! Moe's story was way crazier and way more involved than I could've imagined- from drinking at age 8, joining the marines, only to get sober and get diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. Amazing. And to top it all off, Moe started a podcast of his own....

Greetings, Congregation! I hope this episode finds you well. This week, I thought it would be fun to have two congregants from our Sunday zoom meeting to come on the show- Kenon Koffkey and Andrew Shipman. Kenon is our resident "Doomsayer" who is always talking about the eminent collapse of our economy and uses fancy words like "margin call" and "hedge funds", so I let him loose to tell us how he...
