The RELEVANT Podcast

On this week’s podcast, we catch up with Jacob Merritt of up-and-coming rock band Pomegranates. Also, in honor of a certain recent holiday, we bring back legendary podcast game “Indie Band or Firework?” (it’s Calvin’s first time playing). You flood us with your #social #media #pet #peeves, no one eats almonds while we record, and a lot more.

How did you meet your love interest? Or have you ever done anything creepy on Myspace?

Long before Facebook and Twitter, our lives were consumed with a place we liked to call “Myspace.” Some of us (Calvin) even used it to meet our future spouse. So we want to know how you met your love interest. And if you can’t answer that question, just tell us if you have any creepy Myspace stories. Post your answers below and we’ll read our favorites on next week’s show!

How would YOU kick off each episode of the podcast?

We want your ideas for how Cameron should spice up the intro to each podcast. (He’s been doing the same thing, pretty much the exact same way, for as long as we can remember. So we want your best ideas for new things to spice up the first few seconds of the show.) Tell us below and we’ll read our favorite comments on next week’s episode!

This week we talk to one of America’s best-known pastors, Craig Groeschel, from the innovative Oklahoma City-based Lifechurch.tv. His church is the team behind YouVersion, one of the most widely used apps in the world. (But we don’t talk to him about that.)

Jesse also brings us his summer movie picks (you probably know what he’s excited about), and somehow we devolve into talking about animal encounters. Like usual.

What item would you like to see the podcast crew produce?

We think that the podcast should have a small line of merchandise (posters, mugs, etc…). So we want to ask you, what item would you like to see the podcast crew produce?

To discuss your answer with the podcast crew and possibly appear on the podcast, email us your Skype name and we might just put you on next week’s episode. Email us at [email protected]

This week, John Mark McMillan brings his “whiskey-soaked folk” and records a few worship songs in the RELEVANT Studio. Plus, we play “Who Said It: Mitt Romney or Mr. Burns?” and talk way too long about obscure world records.

We also talk about our crazy idea to try to fund $100,000 of micro-loans in one day, and tell you how you can get involved.

What is your favorite world record?
