Everyone is talking about Game of Thrones, and so are we (if inadvertently). Plus Jim and Debbie recap the Leadership Weekend and Hoop Shoot National Finals.

In a brisk episode, Jim and Debbie introduce the top 20 Most Valuable Students and then share some of the storylines for this year's Hoop Shoot National Finals. This one will get you pumped for the two big April events.

Jim and Debbie interview Nicole, a veteran who was on "the fast track to destruction" prior to getting help from the V.A. and the Elks. Plus CIPsters Colleen Conrad and Chelsea Dennis drop by to talk about the new Spotlight Grant.

Just back from the Service Trip to Biloxi, Elks Scholar Fellow John Kavula joins Jim and Debbie on the big show. Episode 51 also features interviews with Rose, a veteran who avoided homelessness thanks to emergency assistance from the Elks, and Fischer Brown, a three-time Hoop Shoot National Finalist.

While Jim attends his daughter's Christmas pageant, his little Elves handle Midday ... and turn in one of the pod's all-time best episodes. Debbie and sidekick's sidekick Mary Morgan interview Phil, a veteran, husband and step-father to two who staved off homelessness thanks to emergency assistance from the Elks. Elks Scholar Fellow Brianna Bueltmann also joins the pod. Listen today!

Colleen Conrad joins Jim and Debbie to reveal the winning Impact Grant Lodges for 2019. The announcement was made on this episode, four days before the news will be shared online.

Debbie has spent a lot of the time in the field lately. In this episode, she tells us all about her recent trips to Albuquerque for the National Scholarship Providers Association's annual conference and to Oshkosh (with a side trip to Milwaukee) for an Impact Grant site visit. Plus, Jim gives an insider's look at Elks headquarters' annual Halloween party. Tune in today!

Mary Morgan pulls double-duty in this episode about the Elks' pledge to eliminate veteran homelessness, serving as sidekick in Debbie's absence and also as the guest. She gives a riveting update on our progress to date. Plus, there's an interview with fourth-place Most Valuable Student Natalie MacEwan, and Jim impersonates Sean Connery. Poorly.

Colleen Muszynski joins Jim and Debbie for a back-to-school episode about the Community Investments Program.

The scholarships department joins Jim and Debbie for a behind-the-scenes look at the largest gathering of Elks scholars ever, the epic 150 for 150 Service and Celebration Weekend in San Antonio.
