After a 3ish month hiatus, we're back to talk music. Not just any music, music with ~ religious ~ references. We're talking Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers and the 1975 of course. 

Edit: This summary has been updated due to misspelling Brandi Carlile's name! Sincerest apologies!

We're doing our first ~ Christian ~ media dive, or in this case, anti-Christian media dive as we review the movie Unpregnant. This movie takes a look at the hoops a girl under 18 has to jump through to get an abortion without parental consent. We have a chaotic roadtrip, a best friend reconciliation, and some Kelly Clarkson bangers. Also, if you take the effort to read our episode descriptions, ask Maddie what I had to edit out this week!

We're entering double digits in the podcast realm! After a week's delay (because Meg decided to upend her life), we're talking christian summer camps, D&D and the Satanic Panic with our special guest, Alex! 

Meet Courtney! Lover of National Parks, running half marathon and former Southern Baptist. Digging into the "True Love Waits" movement and a bit of "boys will be boys" mentality. 

You wouldn't think there's a market for reviewing churches, but there absolutely is. This week we're reading GMB & Yelp review for surrounding Catholic churches. Find out which one has the best free breakfast and which one is ideal for your next funeral!

Just hold on we're going to psychoanalyze the phrase "Everything Happens for a Reason" and how it ties into "God's Plan." We're reading one of Maddie's brilliant Comp 1 essays about a phrase she takes issue with (and I'll give you a hint, I've already said it). 

In case you were wondering, you can still bully your classmates even though everyone is in identical uniforms. We're talking jumpers, rolled up skirts, Wednesday masses, religious ed and all your other burning questions about Catholic School with special guest and K-8 attendee Erin! 

Our intro music is finally here! Special thanks to Sam for all of his hard work on it. He is also our guest on today's episode! We're taking a look at non-denominational churches, church camp and Devotional groups. 

Sam has also recently dropped an EP, A Welcome Change, which you can find here on Spotify.

What if we told you there's a different kind of wedding out there? One that only women are eligible for and requires no other party? Tune in to this week's episode to learn all about the most awkward date, consecrated virgins, Carmelite nuns, embezzling, and who has billionaires beat in exclusivity. 

Edit: Meg misspeaks later in the episode. The number of consecrated virgins is over 4,000, not 400.

This week, we bring in guests Emma and Caroline to talk about the ~ Christian Theatre Experience ~ Prepare for lots of singing as we discuss this weird midwestern trend.
