Even the best creative projects might not ever see the light of day due the lack of one crucial ingredient... funding. On 5/31/22, the 'Bellsburg' Kickstarter campaign went live, and the results were somewhat astonishing.

Let's drive to Bellsburg, TN for the recording of a new tribute album - inside Rich Mullins' old house.

After nearly 4 years, Release Date is BACK. Some creative projects hit the end of the road and die. And for some projects it's an invitation to find a detour.

Wow, it's been a minute!

We believe this is an important moment in history. So we pause, we acknowledge, we listen, we unite with the cries for justice and peace from the Black Community. In this 85-minute special, we share songs and interviews that will help you lean in and hopefully engage your heart, mind, & spirit.

UTR Media & the Trout Family are relocating to the Nashville area. In this bonus podcast, Dave shares the journey and some of his hopes for the future.
