For the first time since we began doing our hugely popular "Live on TDMS" segment we had a guest cancel (due to the flu) with no time to re-book!

Peter Rollins has gained an international reputation for overturning traditional notions of religion and forming "churches" that preach the Good News that we can't be satisfied, that life is difficult, and that we don't know the secret.

It blurs the lines between theism and atheism and it sets aside questions regarding life after death to explore the possibility of life before death.

A number of years ago, Drew's father traveled with his sister, back to Omagh in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. They were trying to locate the family homestead. Along their travels, they found a book of poems written by one of Mr. Marshall's distant relatives, W.F. Marshall - The Bard Of Tyrone. Today, Drew will unabashedly share with his listeners, the works and history of this man who became an actual legend in Northern Ireland.

It was Lindsay's first time professionally speaking and she was incredibly nervous. Her biggest fear was getting up and speaking in front of a group of women. And for some reason, she accepted an invitation to speak in front of a bunch of women! In Lindsay's experience, women have been judgemental, catty, cruel, condemning, backstabbing & untrustworthy. However, when she was done her talk, the room erupted into applause.
