About Prose Before Bros
From the publisher's feed
James and Kenny have known one another since childhood. Growing up in the rural south, their experiences often overlapped via sports, comedy, pro-wrestling, filmmaking, and ministry. Lately, the two enjoy reading books and discussing them after church. This podcast features those conversations. They attempt to answer the following questions:
Was it worth the read?
What did you take away from it?
Would you recommend it to someone else?
