It's a podcast crossover! Ronnie Martin of The Happy Rant joins us in-studio in exotic Indianapolis to talk nostalgia, Christmas and romance novels, and trying to read theology.

And by "in-studio" I mean "in the hallway outside the exhibit hall at TGC."

Listen in as we discuss:

• Why Ronnie enjoys romance and Christmas novels
• What's really nice about writing for kids
• If the name "Joseph" is cult-y
• What are the boundaries of Ronnie's Christmas season?
• Is there a mindlessness to Christian living and theology books?
• Can you reach a saturation point with a type of book?
• Why Ronnie is anti-self-publishing

A few of the books we shared this time around:

The Broken Road by Richard Paul Evans

All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
