  • (Best of) Love is a Spectrum with Maddie Allen

    Today, we dive deep with Maddie - it is her lore, after all. This episode has everything from leaving the LDS Church to divorce to creative and spiritual practices to community building. But more than anything, Maddie reminded me how beautiful love is and how my assumptions of other people’s stories are just that. And to top it all off, I know you’ll fall in love with her. Enjoy!

  • #64 - I Love it When You Can See the Actors Sweat with Bela Erekson

    See live theater! A Midsummer Night's Dream - Free outdoor performance. Saturday, August 29 at City Creek Park in SLC. Doors at 7:00 PM, curtain at 7:30 PM. Oh and go follow @playpracticeslc on Instagram.

    Your favorite dynamic duo is BACK and asking each other the real, hard-hitting questions like: What would you wear on the red carpet? And have you ever been in love? (Amongst others both serious and silly.) And then we call our grandma at 9:00 PM on a Wednesday night. Did we scare her half to death? It's possible. Enjoy!

  • (Best of) Mr. & Mrs. Zenger

    Welcome to the first episode of In the Family! Chatting with my number one guy on episode number one seemed fitting. Listen in as we tell our story: how we met, who went in for the first kiss, and whether or not Skyler moved to Utah to date me. Enjoy!

  • #62 - Cousin Chats: Oh my Heck(mann), It’s Brooklyn!

    Bela and I called Brooke so she can explain the internet to us. Just kidding. Kind of. We picked her brain about social media and AI, the highs and lows of high school, and her hopes and dreams as a soon-to-be freshman in college. Turns out, the world is in very good hands. Please enjoy our cousin chat with the lovely, creative, and kind Brooklyn Heckmann!

  • (Best of) Latter-day in LA with Bela Erekson

    What's it like to move to LA and pursue a career as an actor? In today's episode, my cousin Bela gives up the scoop on her three-year stint in Los Angeles. But first, she recounts her most recent dating experiences and patiently listens to me talk about bears. Don't sleep on this episode! Bela is hilarious, and I'm just trying to keep up. Enjoy!

  • #61 - Don’t Die with Your Boots On with Bela Erekson

    Bela is BACK! We kick things off with some personal raccoon news. Ohhh, and the meat of this episode??? It's supposed to be about our grandma... but our cousin Sierra is the only one who volunteered to share a story. So we call my mom, things immediately go off the rails, and Bela sings in Tahitian to calm her soul. We wrap things up with some Grandma Karen wisdom. Hint: Don't die with your boots on. Enjoy!
