These are 2 examples of those answers with MARK HALL from CASTING CROWNS and MIKE & JEFF from TENTH AVENUE NORTH. Plus, if you stick around til the end, there’s a podcast “Easter egg” from CROWDER as well.

Jen Ledger was in her late teens when she auditioned for Skillet. She didn't really even want the gig, but when she got it, Jen said, "...maybe 2 years." A decade later, thousands and thousands of fans seeing her play live, she has stepped out into a solo spotlight. What did she play for her audition, does she feel like she missed out on her adolescence, if she wasn't performing, what would she be doing? What does a day off look like? All these questions answered on this week's podcast.

I’ve been a fan since his debut project in 2012. You might be familiar with songs like “Come To The River”, or “When Mercy Found Me”. Then Rhett disappeared from the CCM world for a bit. He has come roaring back with a new song, “Say Hello”. Stick around 'til the very end of this episode for an exclusive performance of “Murderer"!

Kevin Matthews is the reason why I’m doing what I’m (still) doing in radio broadcasting. His time at WLUP in Chicago is legendary to “Kev-Heads” around the Midwest and beyond. It wasn’t just Kevin either - it was also sports announcer “Jim Shorts”, Darnell, Devon, Ronald Reagan, Elvis, Pee Wee Herman, and a cast of others, all flowing out of the mouth and brain of Kevin. Kevin has written a book called “Broken Mary” that has given him a much different perspective on life. Pardon me while I geek out talking to my hero, Kevin Matthews.

Ben Calhoun is the lead singer of Citizen Way. He reminds me of a mix of a carnival barker, circus showman, rock star, and decent human being. Plus, at the end of the podcast, a big announcement (for me at least) about an upcoming podcast episode.
