Pod'N Me: Recent Episodes
Devin Birdsong
This is a weekly podcast with me, my mic, and my friends. We call our weekly segments a Pod’n Meetin’ and it is released on midweek service day... Wednesday. I also do interviews that are released once a month or whenever I can get them released with some of the wonderful folks I’ve met over the years. I have no huge ambitions with this other than to share a story and hopefully have a laugh along the way. I am a pastor and was raised in a pastor's home. I've had the high honor of meeting some special folks along the way. It's my desire to have some meaningful conversations and give hope to someone who needs it. Hershall is my one listener! God bless!

Hersh, today is likely the most monu-mental (heavy on the mental) day we have ever experienced on Pod'N Me. I know these descriptions can be a bit oversold but I made a huge apology to start the program and I really don't know what the outcome will be... will it change the future of the show?
The boys then moved to trash my burdensome preaching and we yodeled our way thru a great song and followed it all up with a Main Character Year segment that honored our beloved backstabbing (you'll hear) Songleader. Enjoy!

Hersh, we went forward with our new segment that is full of main character energy and this week the main character is Deacon Dustin Wakley, who was brought forth back in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty. He told about his struggle with long hair and arcade games... some big confessions on this episode... Before we got to all of that, Brooks told of some recent fan encounters and used it as an opportunity to completely offend me... I should be able to get over it and hopefully show back up next week. Enjoy!

Hersh, as we often talk about on this trash heap of a podcast, we went down the proverbial lane today with the Generation Z Boy and I think it make him feel special which is what we are after here at Pod'N Me... affirming, non-offensive, special feelings... We had a segment that would completely make the day of anyone, especially if you are in his shoes and want to be first at everything.... You'll see what I am typing about.
We also discussed some great topics like: cool books (literally), and as always the boys had some ministerial advice. We talked some about the slack in hearing from all of your friends in the feedback world... Enjoy!

Hershall, several times over the years we have been asked to share our experiences in salvation so we did that today and it got a tad bit religious! We had Bryce on as a guest and we tried our best to get him to say something bad about his boss… to no avail. All in all it was a great day and we affirmed each other in their efforts proudly! Enjoy!

Hey folks, hershall is back and we surmise about what might be happening at youth camp and other stuff was said that I can’t recall at the moment because we are having youth camp this week and I can’t think about anything except that…. Enjoy!

Hershall, we checked in with this year’s Day Speaker at Central Oklahoma Youth Camp. You are never going to guess what he has planned for his part in preaching… he wants to be ushered into the Tabernacle in a unique way that could put a great liability on the campers. We had a great visit with hime where the boys (I think you know who they are by now, the carnal faction of the Pod’N Me personnel) gave some very strong advice on what to do whilst in the pulpit…. Since that is something they know best. In the end we had a great discussion and are exiting that Rev. Josh Smith is going to be our day speaker this year. After we talked to him we had some great tire talk. Enjoy!

Hershall, This is probably the most risky episode we have ever recorded... There was a HUGE (big word) division that had the potential to completely destroy this entire organization. Yes, this unified, never controversial, organization that you have come to know and love called, Pod'N Me. Thankfully with the help of HR (little word for Human Resources), we were able to get things resolved and hopefully continue the show. I won't mention who the conflict was between here because I don't want you to loose confidence in people before you listen, but it was nothing short of amazing that we were able to work thru the differences. I tink you will be able to do the same thing, should you ever encounter a difficult problem with Brooks... er, someone, I mean. Enjoy!

Hersh, what a privilege to have you here.. if you still are after 6 years. Can you believe that we have been recording this show for 6 years. What a ton of fun we have had and we really did have a serious discussion about how to land the plane, so to speak. You will have to listen to see what we came up with. Some of the show ending discussions could have been due to the fact that our very own Deacon shared how a routine sales encounter led him to being essentially a TV star, you might say... talk about a whole nuther (big way of saying another) level of success. I hope you enjoy the episode... there are several other topics we discussed that I cannot recall but I know they were important...

Hersh, we wanted to give honor to the memory of some folks that fit in the category “of whom the world was not worthy.” I had a book sent to me a few weeks ago that I wanted to discuss and show honor to the ministry of the Lloyd family. We also had quite a discussion about emotional appeals. We had some new voice mail feedback and a few laughs in the process. God bless & Enjoy!

Hershall, we are glad you are here with us today! We want to welcome you to the job search episode. I hope you find our conversation helpful. We discussed a whole bunch of stuff and in the mix was jobs. We shared exhilarating experiences of being stuck in default jobs. I shared some great jokes and had a difficult time with the delivery of one of them, of course, the boys let that one go without criticism... er not. Enjoy!

Hersh, I want to put a colossal (big word for huge) disclaimer on this episode, but when I think about it, I need to have a disclaimer on this entire podcast. I don't really know how all hasn't been a target of offense at this point. As we meandered thru the topics today, the boys let loose on some advise like they usually do and would you know it, they gave an example of how to run a missions service... When you hear that part, you will understand, if possible, the title of today's show. As always, thanks for listening and please say tell me that you noticed that there was no description on last week's episode....

Hershall, the show must go and and that is exactly what it did... Reagan had to fill in for Brooks and our Beloved Songleader. We still had a great day discussing odd encounters listening to music and having some laughs along the way... we talked to an old friend that was formerly a part of the show, ole Dink Burbank himself. It was a great conversation. Brooks came in at the very end and started to talk about something to do with cowboys and that's how it all ended. You'll have to show up next week to see if he continued his thought... Enjoy!

Hersh, great to have you back with us, as always. We had a special guest on today to talk about his education as a driver and he was a delight to have on the program. Of course, all the rest of the crew was here and we talked about a bunch of relevant topics like: our favorite childhood hymns, bluegrass music, and some great old jokes! I think you will enjoy the way we seamlessly meandered through the show almost as if time came to a dragging drip! We even had some dinosaur talk! We settled where the gospel ship is parking when it comes to dock to take us to somewhere... we just hope all of us a worthy to get on the boat, if you will and I hope you will...

Hello Hersh, good to have you back to the trash-cast. We had a wonderful day of debacle-filled fun. I had a great intro all ready, and right during the intro music, I hit the wrong button a halted the music and sent the episode spiraling out of control and I don't know that we ever recovered. With that being typed, we covered some great topics today including: label-less water-bottles, fizzy burps, and a great dental breakthrough that I just experienced that likely saved me from losing a vital chopper! We used a great classic song from a missionary friend and Brooks even gave the audience a taste of what his Patreon show is like... or so he says he did. we have to trust that he was telling the truth because he couldn't produce the evidence during the recording which is another whole debacle... Enjoy!

Hersh, we really did it.. did which, you say? We talked about a couple of previously forbidden topics but in a completely organic (big word for healthy, more expensive and most-times overrated) way, the conversation just slipped into these topics and I could do nothing to stop them. For any huge fire-storm of controversy (pronounced "con-trah-vuh-see" for effect) that may result from this discussion, we finished the show with a surprising upset via the never more popular "Name that Tune" segment of the program. We appreciate your continued listening and sometimes support... may the enjoyment of all enjoys be upon you as you listen!

Hershall,
What a privilege it is to have all the crew back today. We had a mostly non-eventful episode… right off the bat the Deacon had trouble with his microphone. He almost incriminated himself whilst telling a lofty tale of a- now famous, “friend” of his… other things were discussed that I cannot recall at this particular juncture in my life. But I’m sure if you listen you should be able to remember all of the things that I can’t or shan’t… (big word for shall not) Enjoy!

Hershall, I feel like I type this every week but I don't want to under-sell the idea that this is a very special day today here on the Pod'N Me church-cast. We are doing what we call in the broadcast business a simulcast (big word for broadcasting something that is or has been broadcasted (past tense of broadcast) on another broadcast platform (which isn't an actual platform built in the air, or is it? I need to digress but it is so much fun typing the word broadcast I can't hardly help myself). Anyhow, I felt it needful to let the listener(s), in other words, you hear tis conversation that took place (was aired) this past Monday on the Bible'N Me podcast. It is with Bro. Casey and Sis. Christiane West and I actually talked my bride, the lovely Hannah, into being a part of the conversation as well. The main ones that needed to be heard were the Wests. So, next week we plan to be back to our regular schedule but until then, give this a listen and send us some feedback if you'd like. Don't forget the email is devin@podnme.org. Enjoy!

Hershall, we did something that we have never done before. We had a completely serious show today. We had a wonderful discussion on the life changing reality to which Jesus invited every believer to join themselves. We included some of our favorite songs this time of year and share how the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus, the Messiah completely changed the world! Enjoy!

Hersh, I will give you a little insight on the job that I as the description writer have... It can be a difficult thing to compose an episode description that is distinct from the rest and especially after almost 6 years of podcasting, we are bound to repeat topics. I try to give in the title a little insight of complete un-interest so that the casual passerby or scrollerby won't thing that I am just doing what we call in the content creating world, click-baiting the audience. (the previous typology was all to take out space because I can't exactly recall what we talked about but I do know one big thing and that is in the title...) So, Sear'll is the main topic that comes to my mind that we talked about. We also continued the Pod'N Me travel guide so, enjoy!

Hershall, you know our friendship goes way back with you so we have been thru a lot and I think it will continue. We have had many requests to have you on the show more often and we can’t reveal where all of the requests come from but nonetheless, we had you on today and it seemed a little on the lackluster (big word) side, but all in all we enjoyed the conversation. I know you have a lot going on there as we heard and we are extremely excited about your new venture in home recreations so we wish you all the best and hope to talk again soon… for now, Thanks and enjoy our conversation again!

Hersh, it was another history making day here on the trash-cast. We had to interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for an important announcement concerning a celebrity invitation one of our prestigious (big word) members received. After much useless banter, we moved to a brand new segment. You guess it, we are thinking of opening a travel agency and we have our first destination review… Enjoy!

Hershall, there are not many things that I don't let you in on here so, I want you to know what went on today... For the first time in Pod'N Me history, I let my cohorts see the entirety (big word for the whole portion) of my show notes... WHILE recording. You will be able to hear this just as it happened. They were in complete shock that I would allow top secret information out like that since I am the one that maintains a semblance of structure and order around here. What follows is many minutes of no one being in control... (you may notice no difference but I don't want the blame for anything that was done that might be offensive. In the end, we had some glory seeking feedback from an admirer of mine that also is a protective member of my family... you'll hear all about it, if you will... Enjoy!

Hersh, buckle up... in a proverbial sense unless you are operating a motor vehicle and then take the advice to heart. We had quite a day here today. Our own Deacon laid his soul on the airwaves today and began to tell about his ever often times of devotion as a young lad. We also had some very serious feedback and in between hard a serious conversation about rendering evil for evil. In the meantime we laughed and sneezed and coughed... Enjoy!

Hersh, buckle up (I mean that in a proverbial sense unless you are operating a motor vehicle that requires a seat restraint), because we talked about some heavy stuff here today. It may not be life or world changing but then again, it may cause you to think. The boys and I started out with no aim in conversation and ended up in a quagmire (big word for jam) of controversial opinions. DISCLAIMER: If there happens to be something said that you don't agree with, remember, we stay stuff that even we disagree with at times... anyway we had some great feedback and all in all some meaningful conversation.... for sure we had a beautiful song to please the ears...

Hershall, this is a wonderful day filled with great advice... hence the Title. Specifically, we gave some great advice to my (occasional) favorite son, Bryce. He was a guest on the program and the particular advice he needs is what many people need this week oof the year. It is advice (I am really just seeing how many times I can write advice in this description) about getting a Valentine's date. We care much about everyone finding a significant other one week like this week. Among the advice we gave, we also had some great topics like appendix's or appendicies some would say (and I just did), or advice about being cross eyed on the big day. Brooks trashed our beloved Deacon's shirt and went completely topographical (big word) about it. Anyway, you'll have to listen to discern the way all of this flows seamlessly into one episode. Oh yeah, and in the end, Bryce gathered some songs for a special edition of a Valentine's week "Name that Tune." so enjoy, if possible!

Hersh, just as I trying to get the bus to keep from swerving, here we go again. The bus I am talking about is the Pod’N Me church bus. We picked up another passenger today and boy was he in for a ride. We talked about last week’s events and the reason for my absence. During that time I gave a bunch of shoutouts and then we moved on. We had a test of our own unique-nesses (big hard word to say). It was all in all a great day with a great passenger named Rev. Casey West! He’s a good friend that happens to be a pastor that happens to be in revival with us right now…. Enjoy!

Hershall, it is great to be back here with you today. I have said from the beginning that I would like to see more folks in the podcasting world and today we had a friend on that started a podcast over a year ago. His name is Bro. Shawn Braumfield with the Pulpit to the Pew podcast. We talked with him about his show and also referenced some others who are podcasting. We'll include those here:

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-whole-person-parenting-podcast/id1839977412
We also shared some of our shows that we listen to on a regular basis. We ended up have a serious discussion on what is proper etiquette (big word) for telling someone you care about that they have hygiene issues. Enjoy!

Hersh, Thanks for stopping by and before you get all concerned, please know that our Deacon did return with little explanation of his absence but. the good news is that he is back. We are glad he is... Today's episode we learned more about Brooks' educational expertise (big word). There is even a suggestion that we do a spelling bee... We end the program having a serious discussion about prophesy.
We also talked about the new Bible'N Me podcast where our first show is launching tomorrow. You can listen to it here:

Hersh, it always seems like the new year brings big changes and this year is no exception. We have some troubling news today. Our Deacon, formerly known as Bro. Dustin, was absent and the best we can gather, he was last seen with a mullet and blonde highlights... We had to do something so we recruited our song leader's twin (big word for Brett Cottrell) to sit in on the program. It went well, I think. We talked about the recent Patreon episode with the Birdsong ladies, discussed who is supposed to be in the driver's seat on family trips and also got knee deep into some discussions on tithing. Enjoy!

Hersh, this is a wonderful day because of the great announcement that I teased last week. We have (thanks to our Patreon Supporters) an employee here at Pod'N Me. You have to listen to find out who it is but I think you will approve of the move. We heard today about a childhood misconception by Brooks that was recently set straight. We talked about monster trucks and Thanksgiving plans. The elder men on the show explain to the youngsters how pictures used to be passed around with a text message on the back... anyhow Happy Thanksgiving and Enjoy!

Hershall, this is going to be quite a day, as always. The main thing to remember today is that we didn't have to hear from the resident sinner, aka (big acronym for also known as) Gen Z Boy for most of the program... I didn't want to mention it here but since he's been matrimonized (big word for married) he seems to be tardy for these services. We heard from a familiar voice today via the telephone... ole Smiity (Rev. Josh Smith, DInk, Flooded Evangelist etc.) and he told a harrowing tale of dealing with puke on a recent plane ride... Bryce (my new favorite son) was here for most of the show and told some camping tales. Folks made fun of my hearing issues and in the end, we just landed the plane (see what I did there)... Enjoy!

Hersh, today was an exciting day on Pod'N Me. Amongst (big word for among) the various things that happened on this trash pile was the historic moment that Gen Z Boy, Broooks, took a big dubya (sophisticated way of saying win) on the ever popular "Name That Tune" segment of the show. I can't even begin to describe the mounting tension in the room that ended the show. The gatherer of the songs was doing his best to play to all music tastes on the program (and you know what a challenge that can be) when all of the sudden.... well, you'll have to listen. Before that all happened though, we had a regular fun time. There were some health updates and some Christmas decor hot takes. Just give it a listen and see what you think. Tell your friends that listen that they can be a part of the show by sending an email, text or Apple review and we'll read their feedback... Enjoy!

Hersh, it sure was great to hear your voice on the program today... There are some real positive changes that happened on this episode that no one will know about for a while but likely will in time. We had some great discussion about various things such as: shampoo brands, campus ministry, loud noises and plenty of useless stuff. We talked a while to you, Hershall till you had to depart from the conversation that we were enjoying about your newest spoiled member of the household.... We had some listener lady leave us some convicting feedback that led to a discussion about how weather hinders our parenting skills... Enjoy!

Hershall, I feel like I need to warn about this but I would like for you to listen. We talked about a trophy that was left in the studio and it spawned a conversation about one of my trophies that I won back in the day. I am fairly famous for something very moooving... We discussed the irrelevance of phone books and got some utterly ridiculously hilarious feedback. Brooks is a descendant of Maw Maw Pocahontas. There were gambling accusations and even an argument about song lyrics. If you wonder how all these things don't tie together, listen and find that they do! Enjoy, if possible...

Hershall, It is a wonderful privilege to be back here today... Please don't be alarmed when you hear the show. We're trying a new format just for proverbial kicks and giggles... (and we may have had both today) The giggles came often and the kick came by a listener who reminded Bro. Brad, our beloved song leader about his "Biden-like memory." He and Deacon Dustin both seemed a bit nervous when this exchange took place. Before then, Dustin told of a recent hunting experience with his son that made us all laugh (those that were paying attention). We told of recent chili cook-off that Bro. Brad took home a first place win from. We also talked about many other relevant topics... ending with a discussion on the second coming of Christ, so, Enjoy!

Hershall, (boldy proclaimed) I hope (pun intended) that all is well with you. We had a serious discussion about HOPE today but you have to wade (proverbially) through various topics first. Topics like: Dustin leads service, nervous ticks (not the micro-bugs), Tylenol & Trump, more wedding details, pill-uhs, wind-uhs, dangerous driving details, and the Deacon tells us a story that happened to him the udder day.... It doesn't seem to be tying together in this description, but I can tell you (or type to you), that it all flows seamlessly in audio form... so, Enjoy!

Hershall, I decided to try typing you name while leaning to the right (or write to the right). How does it look? Oh, back to what I am supposed to be typing.... We had a decently, slightly above average day here. I am not saying it isn't worth listening to but I am saying refer to the title and you can likely hear some angst (big word for anxiety) in my voice. This is truly happening and Deacon Dustin admits it in a roundabout way. We had a segment where we included taglines for Pod'N Me and it came out then.... We also talked about the wedding of Gen Z boy and the help that. he received while he was absent on his honeymoon from some friends... decor was delightful at his abode (big word for house). We also had Brooks tell us about quantitative easing... that was historical. There were other things that were talked about so... Enjoy, if possible!

Hershall, here we are again... We had a wonderful, but kind of long winded episode today. We talked about several things. The serious got real serious when we talked about how some people use God to validate themselves. We also heard a wonderful testimony from our Deacon, Dustin Wakley about a time in his life where he let his little light shine in front of dental college student. We also discussed getting a new logo. We also know what Kibosh means... we even had quite a bit to say about this day in history five years ago... Dustin and Brad made their debut on this show that day and the rest is history! Enjoy!

Hershall, it's the wedding week of Gen Z Boy, Brooks, but you know we do our best to have something prepared for you. I sat down with a great friend of this podcast (proven partially by the Pod'N Me bumper sticker on the back of his vehicle), Rev. Joshua L. Smith. We talked about a bunch of things today including: nightmares, endorsing one outdoor magazine over another, dealing with embarrassment, emotions, fellowship and other unimportant topics, but the main topic was how our memory sometimes can be inaccurate. During this time, we had the debut use of the word cornucopia on this show, if I remember correctly... (see what I just did)
We even shared some songs in the end... Enjoy and we'll hopefully be back next week for our regularly scheduled program.

Hershall, Pod'N Me's official 300th episode is here and now... and we never thought we would make it to 20 episodes. Well, for the celebration, we decided to go the extra mile. That means extra jokes, extra songs, and actually, extra bragging on yours truly. We sure are glad to still be recording after this long and we talked about so much stuff today, I can't remember what it all was, just listen... and enjoy if you can!

Hershall, we managed to pack 63 minutes of time into 3 minutes of content... so that should give you a clue on what you are about to experience. By the title you should be able to ascertain (big word for find out with certainty) that Brooks is on another offensive kick. Also, by the title you can catch the drift that some unnamed soul (the servant who typeth these descriptions) is struggling with hearing still and it is worse than before. In the midst of it all we talked about: visiting elders, church tissue game, areadin' and acryin', Deacon Shamah the Baptist Dustin, saved sanctified & optimized, and an unnamed singing super star... Enjoy!

Hershall, we ended with a tough conversation about waiting on God. It was a needful talk... Before we got there, we heard some good OLD songs and relived the past in a song. We had some feedback about whether or not we should pray over our pets and Deacon Dustin quoted another song wrong and Brooks pounced on that mistake faster than Trump with a Tariff (that was for all the people who faithfully read these descriptions and got jolted by my overtly political reference)(Just making sure you're still awake and still reading these valuable episode descriptions cause I have written a many of them now...) We also heard an elk hunting story and Brooks got some valuable marriage advice... Enjoy!

Hershall, Dustin is WHAT?? I hope all is well with you if you still listen to us... Maybe if you don;t you will start again afresh today. We had a rather significant happening today. I made the executive decision to ban a certain entertainer from this podcast... to cleanse the cast I had to use several songs and I think it worked. We talked about some important stuff along the way though. Things like: hobo's Shammah and his bean patch, unpaid electric bills, How to pack a vehicle for a trip. We ended by talking about how we can hear God's voice. Enjoy if possible!

hersh, let me warn you, it takes all the way til the end of the episode, but brooks gets redeemed. yes I am typing like this because the young boy was the one at the helm recording and you know this young generation can't capitalized anything... they called me on the first part of the show (which was probably the best part of the program) and we talked about my travels, health issues and his bedbug debacle... in the end he gets redeemed by a song. enjoy if you can.

Hershall, we had it today... I knew (or had a strong feeling) that someone in the listening audience would get proverbially get fed up (phrase meaning exasperated) with the musical choices of the two youngest among us. They did and we were here to watch the show... (actually listen). Before that happened we talked about rostrums, phone pinky, Everett Triplet, and a whole lot of important stuff. We had a listener request an ole popular song from back in '21 by our very own Deacon so we obliged... We heard about. Solomon's wealth and had a "watcha listening' to" segment at the end. What I'm trying too type is, you won't be disappointed. So, Enjoy!

Hershall, What a trash heap this entire podcast is... I don't even know where to begin but I can tell you this, we began with whispers and it all went down hill from there as it usually does. We did hopefully redeem ourselves in the end with a beautiful song but it was a long time getting there. I tried to ease in to a new segment and got completely pummeled (big word for smashed in the face) by the boys accusing me of only wanting to talk about my recent sabbatical (big word for vacation). We went from there to a discussion about sniffing couches. We also had an awkward story about ticks and skin tags... really, I don't know why we even tried recording today but hopefully you will understand and enjoy!

Hershall, we took a long stroll down memory lane and right as we were walking along Gen Z Boy, Brooks, came running long side us. We talked about all of the previous guests that we have talked to over these five plus years that we've been recording this trash heap of a podcast. Brooks had much to share when he joined. He told us about how he passed the great test of temptation on the job today and instead of a Puff he chose to Pray... powerful stuff here. Well, enjoy the content, if possible!

Hersh, I don't want you to get too excited but we have a more traditional show today... That is due to the lack of Gen Z Boy. He wasn't able to make it because of life responsibilities but we carried on and have no plans of dropping him permanently from Pod'N Me. We got back to the basics today! Deacon Dustin went completely will;d with the quotes (from every source around- yes even the Bible). and we had the return of a long standing tradition here on the show where I (the humble poderator) shared some great jokes including a sermon illustration of sorts. if you liked Pod' N Me circa 2022, you'll love today's show...

Hersh, it has been a while since we heard from our guest today and let's just go ahead and say, he took a big "W" in the end, but before that happened we had a great discussion with the boys about several wonderful topics including: my stellar parenting skills and speaking before thinking. Our very own Deacon Dustin contributed the song for this week and we couldn't figure out whether we liked the premise or not. When our guest, the former fan Bryce, showed up, he threw in some valued thoughts and blew the minds of all in studio and then to be frank... he killed the "name that tune" segment. Brooks got in the driver's seat for the final portion of the program... Enjoy!

Hersh, we have had a plethora (big word for abuncha) disasters when it comes to the ministry of low expectations but today may have taken the cake (an old proverb that describes what we're saying here today). We recorded 30 mins of the most flawless audio/video we may have ever recorded and wasn't recording at all... It was the same as if we were 4 friends (loose term) talking on the speaker phone to an old friend and none of it was captured... So, we started over but that didn't hinder the usual underwhelming quality of the program. We had a wonderful day today because we got to talk to an old friend of Pod'N Me and he shared a special project that he has been working on for the past few months. He's a preacher friend of mine, Rev. Zach Cordle, that I met a few years back and he actually used to do some podcasting himself. He has been doing a music project for a very special cause as you will hear on the program today. Hannah Lloyd Cornett is recording a music CD in honor of her brother and sister-in-law that were tragically taken from this life while doing mission work. The proceeds from this CD will go to a building at the Bible College that they attended and is being constructed in their honor.
If you want to order the CD or find out more about it here is some information:
CD’s can be purchased directly through Hannah’s Facebook page.
https://www.facebook.com/share/1JT4hYSJnf/?mibextid=wwXIfr
CD’s will be available around the 1st or 2nd week of July.
God bless & Enjoy!

Hershall, all I can say is buckle up for this one... We went longer than normal but there was no good stopping place. The competition was palpable (big word for felt) in studio 18. Speaking of felt, that's exactly what was brought up during a long rant about being insured by our Deacon Dustin... yeah, roofing felt! I think that is the first time tha was been discussed on the trash-cast. We enjoyed a new segment of wrong answers called "Riffin' on the Road" that has promises of gaining all sorts or new ways into the vacuum of the mind of Gen Z Boy, Brooks. He also shared an uncomfortable moment for me as a minister in a local electrical supply store. We had a long fought-out Tune battle in the end. All of this was with our morphed (big word for combined and changing) friend Breadly Cottrell. You can see all of this on video for a small fee... just visit our Support link and Enjoy!

Hersh, it was mighty good to hear your voice on the program today. We always enjoy hearing from you but today you came on the show for a specific purpose. We wanted give a wonderful invitation to you and all of the listeners to come to the youth camp that we all take part in...
You can see for yourself here: https://www.centralokyc.org/ what we're talking about.
This year we decided to add some special Pod'N Me promotions to camp. The details are in this episode and prepare to be wowed. You will get all kinds of chances to do all kinds of stuff. Our guest host dubbed (big word for something unknown to the typist) it "Youth Camp Pod-pack" -hence the name of this episode. Another wonderful thing that happened is when you went to do your signature sign-off, there was a real hitch in the process... Speaking of a hitch in the process, we shared a recent flub up that our song leader, Bro. Brad, experienced and what followed was his exit from the country (nothing criminal and we can neither confirm nor deny whether his exit had anything to do with his departure) so we had his stunt double, Brett Cottrell subbing for him today... Enjoy!

Hershall, I hope the title doesn't throw you off but we did it... I will let you listen to the program to find out exactly what IT is. I think you will be amazed at what and where we have been. All thanks to our great patrons on Patreon we were able to pull off the surprise of the century. It is a historic day here on Pod'N Me. We are just a few days past our 5th anniversary and we heard a familiar voice today. After getting that NEWs, we had a serious conversation about being desperate and finished up with a song (or two) and made it to the end and hopefully will enjoy the future but not free of offense probably... Enjoy!

Hershall, here we are again for the final day of our campmeeting series for 2025. I have greatly enjoyed having these pastors, Bro. Jon Brock, Bro. Davin Burnett and Bro. Jon Isaacs in studio to talk about how Christ should be reflected in all of our lives and that even goes for every relationship that we enjoy. We continued our discussion in Ephesians on the view that Paul gave us of how we treat one another now that we are in Christ. You can also watch this episode on our YouTube page for free thanks to the monthly support from our Patreon page. God Bless & enjoy!

Hershall, we're back again... Pastors Isaacs, Brock, and Burnett. We discussed Ephesians 4 on the five-fold ministry of the church and the goal of the ministry is to bring us to the body of Christ to a place of Unity, Diversity and Holy living. We had a great, challenging discussion. We have one more day of our camp meeting and that is tomorrow. Once again, you can view this episode for free on our YouTube page. God Bless & we'll be back tomorrow. Enjoy!

Hershall, it's that time of year again. It is Campmeeting week and we have some repeat guests. Three pastor friends who were here last fall for the pastoral episodes and we've combined that idea with our campmeeting week. Rev. Jon Isaacs, Rev. Jon Brock & Rev. Davin Burnett came here to discuss the need for personal disciplines in the ministry. It really is a conversation that every believer can benefit from. If you'd like to see the video of this recording, check out our YouTube link in the show notes. It is free content made possible by our Patreon support. God bless & enjoy the show. We will be back here tomorrow with the same crew!

Hershall, you read it correctly, we are really having an episode of Pod'N Me dedicated to wedding planning... We talked some things weddings today button all. We have to talk about some other stuff in the process but the weeding conversation was for good reason. One of our own, ole Gen Z Boy got a fiancé (big word for espousal), so we felt it necessary to discuss weddings. We even got a video of the episode that you can see for a small fee on our support link (the one in the show description that says "support the show" yeah, that one. Anyhow we want you to experience all the joys of our discussion and Enjoy!

Hershall, I know that the title seems to not go together at all, but what does go together in this world? Even here on the trash-cast it seems like we can seamlessly make thing flow together... or not. The boys (Songleader Brad, Deacon Dustin, and Gen Z Boy Brooks) suggested that we do another lucrative scheme (two big words in a row) to get more money from the podcast. A carnival was brought up and I will let you find out how that was included in the show. Speaking of lucre, we had some convicting ministry advice that I had a difficult time handling. Of course, the boys had plkeanty to offer when it came to that as well. If you want to see the video of this episode and a few others, it is available on our support link. Just run on over to Patreon and check it out. There is a free video and if you like what you see, feel free to join the premium content portion of the program.

Hersh, it is a privilege for us to be back with you, as always. We had a reluctance on the show today concerning the topic of antique cars. Then we went down memory lane with our song selection which is where the smoke comes in. We also had a wonderful story about Brooks collecting money from our beloved Deacon. All in all it was a wonderful time here on the trash-cast. Take a listen and if you want to see the video of this episode it is available on our Patreon page (touch that "Support the Show" link and see the possibilities). Speaking (or typing) of Patreon, a big ole heartfelt thank you to all the folks who have joined and we have plans to add more and more content on a monthly basis.

Hershall, we are glad to be back with flying colors (an old adage-big word for old saying) and they guys were hitting on all cylinders (another adage) today. Well, that is all but our beloved Deacon, Dustin Wakley. As you know he has made some personal changes over the last almost 5 years that we have been recording these episodes (in a more shall we type, unsettling direction). He was the one that came out hard against animal rights when it pertains to housing and such and then took an about face (military adage) when a precious pet found herself in the clutches of his pool cover. Today he made another big change. He let us know during a recently made popular segment that he is setting out to save the Earth... Songleader Brad gave him the title of CSO (a title known as Chief Sustainability Officer) here on the show. I think you will be aghast (big word for shocked beyond belief at the way he chose to save our great planet, but it is undeniable that he is doing just that! Other things that happened today was Brooks had a real struggle reading agin so there's that. I can't recall every thing else but really why should I have to? this is only supposed to be a brief description of the show so you will go listen to it yourself. I am really overworking myself here but I do what I can for you, Hersh. In the end we talked about the false premise that the prosperity gospel puts forward that we should give to God to get something in return. That was how the show ended... Enjoy!

Hershall, we had a wild ride today on the podcast... I said we because I (the boss) joined the show toward the end, fresh off of the ER visit we talked about last week. (We record every two weeks so this week's episode actually happened last week. I know it's crazy huh?) The guys started out with a strictly forbidden song and believe me, if I would've been running the program it would've never happened. That started a downward spiral into horrendous songs and that really never got better until Josh Smith redeemed us with a "Name that Tune" segment. Speaking of Josh, we had a listener who has never met Rev. Josh express their desire to do so and went on to describe what his voice sounds like he would look like (read that several times slowly to see if it makes sense). It was one of the best descriptions and it got some mileage. IN the process we found out Bro. Josh plays a mean (and fast) game of basketball. We also found out that Deacon Dustin cuts his own hair every few days and so much more. I joined at the end of the episode to tell my side of the recent wreck where God spared my life, for which I and forever grateful! Enjoy the episode!

Hershall, I am glad you showed up today even though not all of us could make it to church. We did still have four members of the podcast on the program for today and it was.. well, you'll have to listen to get the details. I (the Poderator) was involved in a vehicle collision as I was on my way home on recording day and the good news is I am doing great but, unfortunately, my vehicle didn't fare so well and the guys talk all about it on the show. Of course, they made it a funny and gave a few jabs at me here and there but thankfully I am fine and God is Good!! The guys had some great feedback and we heard from Bro. Josh that he isn't interested in attending church this Easter but it didn't hinder him from including a very good talk at the end of the show about the Resurrection of Christ... I mean, the boys got plum (big word for absolutely) serious around here. Enjoy!

Hershall, we have a full episode for you today on this trash heap of a show. I can't even recall what all went on today because it feels like I have been editing my entire face off. (that's because we added video that you can experience if you would like by going to Patreon via the "support the show" link in these very show notes) We covered a bunch of stuff today including some gratitude and frustratitudes. We also had a listener trash Gen Z boy's ability to read and we got some mileage out of that... We also did an exercise to see how we all process words in a different way and somehow are able to communicate. Thanks for joining us again today. Enjoy!

Hershall, I certainly hope you are doing well out there. We are always glad to have you tag along and listen to the podcast. Today, we had a somewhat serious discussion to which I seamlessly transitioned to and the boys just absolutely ridiculed me over. We talked about the challenge to prove something without going the route through their heart first. It was an interesting discussion. In the mix of conversation we also talked about the recent debacle I had on our debut video episode for the patrons over on our Patreon page. We listened to a great song and had some wonderful feedback and talked about some frastratitudes and some gratitudes... Enjoy!

Hershall, Here we are per (little word for as) usual with our weekly meeting on the trash-cast. As you have become accustomed to, we bring you some hard-hitting topics mixed in low-hitting humor. Amongst (editor's question: why do we use this word without the "st" at times?) the topics this week are: cordaroy pants, main character-ing, chair moving projects, and we even through in a few names that we've heard people use for a certain kind of saw (weh-weh saw was my favorite). We also had a semi-serious conversion about closing the gap between our perception of ourself and other's perception of ourself. Enjoy!

Hershall, here we go again, ending the program smelling sin,
Little known in the list of topics,
Would be the chance of terrible optics (big seeing word)
For the pastor who endorsed some scents,
That complicates our confidence....
I'll leave the poetry for later, Hersh. To sum things up, I had a wreck at the end of the episode, for which I am ashamed. We talked about trusting God even when there are questions without answers. We also had some new topics never before talked about here such as: sun visors, sin-cred, pork rinds, selling seashells, corn toss (hole), and ingesting chemicals (not endorsed at all). Enjoy!

Hey Hersh, good to be with you again, friend. Today was a good day and a grace filled episode. We talked about that subject from the beginning (or close) and even talked about it at the end... but in between, things got diverse (big word for all kids of). We gave some advice to some new podcasters that wrote in, we had the subject of vaccines mentioned as well as: booster seats, thank-you cards, putty knives, skin stickers and Forest Frunk (the past tense of a singer that Brooks is fond of). You will be completely underwhelmed at how we flawlessly weave a tapestry of subjects together (a preachy way to say we talked about a bunch of random stuff). We even squeezed a new segment in right at the close of the program. Enjoy!

Hershall, Happy Birthday!! We were so glad to hear that you made it to 40. What a privilege it was to finally hear your voice again on Pod'N Me. We talked about some stuff today on the trash-cast. Stuff like, yodeling, Sunday School Reports, and may other various stuffs (plural word for stuff). We found out that Hershall and the Deacon Dustin have something in common that is a tad bit K-9ish... (hint hint) We also met Justin Wakley today. The Deacon gave us an indication that he is reading his Bible. We ended with a lot of unsolicited (big word for unrequested) sermon advice. Hersh, they boys don't want you to consult AI for your sermons.... Enjoy!

Hershall, it is mighty good to have you here, as always, if you are here? We had another history making day here on the trash-cast. As we promised last week, we shared a new song writte... I mean, produced by Josh Smith as an intro. It will be a major billboard hit I am sure. Gen Z boy got some clarification on what a baker's dozen is and knowing his track record for math you can imagine how difficult it was to convey the concept. I also gave a heartfelt apology to Deacon Dustin over a recent win that I gave credit for but failed to give the percentage of the win... it was meaningful for him to get that apology. Although it did bring light to a major regression (big word for setback) in his walk with the Lord... not my apology, nor the win but the path in which he had to travel to win... well, you'll see. It's difficult to convey through typology (big word for typing). We had a Rich Man Poor Man segment that was a preacher's edition. It was disastrous but we made it. In the end I shared about an upcoming holiday that gained the ire (big little word meaning anger) of my cohorts. Enjoy!

Hershall, this is groundbreaking stuff here today on Pod'N Me or as I said in the episode, 'history making,' if you will, and I think you will. I know it has been somewhat of mystery as to what happened to DInk Burbank aka Josh Smith. Well today we found out. He's been absent for months now and we find out that it was for a very good reason. Can we say, a music EP (abbreviation for extended play) is here and it is exclusively for Pod'N Me. You will NOT, and I retype, will NOT be disappointed. I kind of botched his intro due to difficulty in speaking today but it went well. Whilst in conversation with Josh Smith we found out he is an angel. We also wished a fan a belated (big word for "be late Ed") happy birthday (whose name likely wasn't even Ed but I digress). After some investigative skills of yours truly we found out that Josh Smith actually supplied the Deacon with his beloved dog, Puppet. We had a frustratitude during the feedback and Brooks shared some recent Sunday school reading trauma. Oh yeah, and the boys took several opportunities to demean my ministry... what's new there, huh? Enjoy!

Hershall, to say this episode is a train wreck is an absolute meiosis (big word for understatement). Being Valentine's Day week, we started with a love song that has been sung (past tense of sang) in the past on here by Deacon Dustin and your humble correspondent many times. It is based off of a famous Bible story so it is legal to talk about on the podcast, but that is about all that we would classify as legal to discuss. We covered a new song that was recently released by a favorite artist of the Deacon, RT. We also find out if Brooks' is getting married and talk a good bit about his significant other. We ended with a Name That Tune segment with wedding songs that Songleader Brad has heard at some holiness weddings. It threw the Deacon into his old life of sin so fast that we had to pray to be cleansed of all unrighteousness. As we were closing the episode my youngest son, Bryce, came in to share a recent travel scare that left him shaking... Enjoy!

Hershall, we always like to lead with our miscalculations (big word for mistakes) here on Pod'N Me, so, that is just exactly what I did to start the program. It was a heartfelt sorrowful plea to Bro. Brad. Then we did a re-cap of last week whilst I was at the Minister's Conference and gave some shout-outs during that time as well as allowed the boys to rail upon me some unjust insults but just like the Lord I offer forgiveness for everything that was said and in this instant they knew exactly what they were doing.
In the shout out category we shouted out a podcast that I recently found out about and if you'd like to listen you can here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pulpit-to-the-pew/id1780333661
There was also was a hefty amount of gallontine talk. We had a good time doing the Gratitude/Maditude segment. Our listeners sent some valuable feedback and of course, I flawlessly executed the joke segment. In the end we Let the church say Amen to allow our proverbial palates to be cleansed. Enjoy!

Hersh, we started off with the deacon not being in his chair but we located him in no time. We sure hate that he didn't make it in studio but we were glad to talk to him nonetheless (three words jammed together to make no sense at all inmyopinion). We also had a rather serious discussion on how we deal with things that we can't control. We then heard from the Basement Bargains and found out that there has been a major change at their church. Gen Z Boy filled in for the Deacon on reading the Bible and it ended up introducing us to a new group of people. We ended with some very valued feedback... Enjoy!

Hershall, we are here again for another great controversial episode. It matters not how many times I try to steer this church bus in the right direction, it seems that we always end up on the proverbial white line. I started a HUGE debate by telling something that I was grateful for in our new segment. It was an absolute travesty (big word for distorted) of justice, if you listen to the boys. On our growing list of grievances we added push presents and wedding debt. We ended with a "Whatcha Listenin' To?" segment following a song that I covered that deals with the pressure that we ministers feel when trying to offer some help to grieving people. When the deacon got to his song I had to pull the proverbial (big word used two many times in this description) emergency ejection lever and play a despised artist by me just to survive. It got rough at the end, folks. Hang in there with us if you can... Blessings!

Hereshall, we are sure glad to be back this week for another episode of Pod'N Me. We covered the topics and things got off track very quick. At the beginning of the trash-cast, the deacon got outed by Gen Z Boy for drinking coffee and what ensued was a description that included toenails and bellybuttons, two topics that haven't been discussed at length (get it, toenail length) here. So, leave it to the boys. I steered us back up toward the proverbial (big word) road and we started a new segment called Gratitude and Maditude.... you'll see how the boys turned that whole thing out to be a segment about my marriage grievances. We finished the day talking about dreams and landed the plane softly with a wonderful song! If possible, enjoy!

Hershall, Happy New Year! who knows what this year is going to hold for Pod'N Me. But on this first day of the year, the tension in the studio built from the very first of the episode. I play a song that gave off a couple of different ideas on the person being talked about and we couldn't decide who was on his was... you'll hear. As happens most every week, we had a myriad (big word) of topics discussed from Christmas trips to snow skiing (big word with two eyes👀), to witnessing for our Lord in Walkmart (hint: it wasn't anyone on the show today. We also had a great time talking about boundaries and salting food. All in all, I think it was a good day and we are really looking forward to another year of podcasting! Enjoy!

Hershall, for Christmas this year we decided (me decided) to release an old episode of Pod'N Me. It was recorded in the Christmas episodes of 2022. We had you along with our Deacon & Songleader in Studio 4 (our old flag-ship studio) and that was the first year for the voice filters which transformed us into chip-monks. Things were completely out of hand and that started a tradition that has continued for the 3rd Christmas season. We gather at the first of December and record our Christmas shows in one setting. Full disclosure, this year we recorded three weekly episodes and a Pod'N Z for the premium content show on Patreon and that took over 5 hours to do so we called it a night and I made the executive decision to do a replay of this popular episode. We hope everyone has a blessed and Merry Christmas and we will see let you hear from us again in 2025, if God wills. Enjoy!

Hershall, this is the most devastating day... We had a chance to redeem ourselves in the Christmas Name that Tune segment and we all failed except for one and that was Deacon Dustin, the man who can't pronounce poetry.... Before all that happened though, we had a very solid selection of a holiday gift guide for the ladies, I delivered the greatest Christmas Joke of all time, and other things happened that slip my mind as we type... (or I type) We finished strong with our final installation of the year of the Chip Voice Segment where our Songleader, Bro Brad, gave a wonderful song. We also found our that another infrequent, formerly frequent, contributor to Pod'N Me is actually a mermaid... Enjoy!

Hersh, the folks are going to feel valued after today. We spent time giving advice to the ladies on what to buy their men for Christmas. Most of the items we discussed were given a green light by the men in Studio 18. We also ate a fruitcake on air and were persuasive enough to get the Emma-fluencer and Loretta to chaw (big word for chew in the past tense) on some of the festive cake. In the end the Chips had a disastrous day discussing an overweight aunt of theirs named Vaxine or Vaccine for short.... Enjoy!

Hershall, it was so good to have you here for the first installment of the Christmas 2024 episodes. We found out some stuff here today, per usual. But, one of the greatest things we found out was that our Deacon used to wear a wig. We reviewed a very helpful Christmas gift guide because it is our intentions to help with our audience in their endeavors to shop for their significant friends and family. We finished by hearing from the ever popular Christmas Chip-monks with an added Gen Z Chip this year. Let the festivities begin, folks! Merry Christmas!

Hersh, fair warning here, this episode is a complete eye-roller. I did my best to annoy my co-hosts and was 100% successful! I seamlessly worked some of the worst jokes and Thanksgiving trivia throughout this entire episode. The annoyance was so bad that Deacon Dustin was requesting that the recording equipment be unplugged from the wall... Anyway, we do want everyone to have a Happy and filling Thanksgiving Day... Enjoy!

Hershall, it's something to think that we are midway to mostly thru the month of November. As you surely remember, this is the month of my nativity (a biblical way to say birth). The boys never forget that and so I acknowledged that today. We talked about a recent invitation to be the M. C. (abbreviation for Master of Ceremonies- side note- why is it possible/acceptable to spell this word as it sounds? See title) at a Gala (big word for fundraiser) for Macy's Cradle, a nonprofit that my big sister started. We talked about some recent vehicle trouble that I have been experiencing and that led to the testimony of Gen Z boy where he tells about being capable of doing his own vehicle maintenance (#proudofmyson). We ended with a Whatcha Listenin' To segment followed by a heart-felt tribute to a close friend and supporter of Pod'N Me. Enjoy!

Hershall, we have a change up for you this week. We decided to allow Brooks (Gen Z Boy) to host an episode to give all of our listeners a taste of what happens over on our premium content show called Pod'N Z. We had a guest on here via the telephone that shared many things with us. He's no stranger to Pod'N Me, Mr. Josh Smith! We talked about some hard hitting topics such as Jack-A-Lopes, Memorial Highways and even delved (big word) into some childhood fears. We missed the Deacon and Songleader but, all in all, it was a good day! Enjoy, if possible.

Hersh, right out of the gate (proverbial comparative saying about racehorses) we talked about how our time is held hostage and boy di it ever get serious. We followed that with feedback and heard from some of our listeners about how we're doing with this trash-cast. We ended the program today with our beloved song leader bringing the red-back hymn book in for a random challenge of guessing the lyrics. It is the more sanctimonious version of Name That Tune except with the same level of competitiveness. All in all, it was a good day and as always, we are glad for all who choose to listen... Enjoy!

Hershall, good to hear from you again today on this episode. It has been a while since we have heard your voice. Before we called though, we had much to talk about. I told of a near danger experience I had on our annual Men's Camp Trip which the boys tried their best not to let me tell all that happen as it happened. We also had some feedback and during that segment, our song leader gave a lil lesson to ole Gee Z Boy. It was quite a combo-nation. All in all, we had a good time. Enjoy at your own risk!

Hershall, we are on the final day of our pastoral series with Rev. Jon Brock, Rev. Davin Burnett and Rev. Jon Isaacs. I am fully convinced that this is the most important conversation I have ever had on this podcast. I hope that many people will listen and hopefully gain some insight on how to handle this sensitive topic of besetting sin. The discussion centered over one particular sin of pornography and for that reason, I gave a disclaimer at the beginning of the episode that parental discretion is advised. I pray that this is a helpful conversation to all who will listen. God bless & we pray the Lord will use this for His glory!

Hersh, we're back again for day two of our Pastoral Series. Today we talked about the significance of Sunday School and how challenged we feel to allow that practice to become a time where we look into the Word of God. We acknowledged some weaknesses in our own ministries when we view teaching as unnecessary. We also talked about another often neglected part of our worship experiences and that is the sacraments of the Lord's Supper and Baptism in water. Pastors Jon Brock, Davin Burnett, and Jon Isaacs offered some helpful insights on all of the subjects. please come back tomorrow for possibly the most important discussion in this series. God bless & enjoy!

Hershall, for this week we decided to do something completely different. That is have a series (you know how pastors love series') of episodes on Pastoral Ministry. Being that it is Pastor Appreciation Month, I wanted to have some conversations hopefully giving a glimpse of some of the things that we grapple with in pastoral ministry. I have three men that have been guests previously on Pod'N Me together in Studio 18 to discuss the topics at hand. They are Pastor Jon Brock from Kellyville, OK, Pastor Davin Burnett from Blanchard, OK, and Pastor Jon Isaacs from Elba, AL. We each share our background in the ministry. We spend some time discussing what it looks like to define success in the ministry. Come back tomorrow for our next episode in the series!

Hershall, I trust that all is well with you... I hope we can hear from you soon but at least you're getting to hear from us. Today you will hear a bunch of valuable information (as always) such as: my huge apology, what it's like when the Deacon using his favorite service leading voice. We had some traveling talk where I revealed how I recently turned into a full blown mechanic and also noticed a very peculiar (big word) sight of an airplane in the sky (sort of)... We also talked about how much a recent message ministered to our deacon and song leader both so much that they took great efforts to change their lives! (Talk about revival, Hersh) That led to a discussion about how we should all live in the moment. So, when you get done listening to this, turn your earbuds off and go live in some moments. Also at the end Gen Z Boy told the world that I have some unfinished business from his childhood... Hint: involving a tree house (platform) Enjoy!

Hershall, check your voicemail... we had to leave you a message when you failed to take our call. we had some big news to share about our great success. Before all of that happened though, we talked about the gift of grace. It got so serious that we couldn't even feel worthy to use the normal feedback sound. We explored some different topics like whether we are supposed to lick our fingers after chip consumption. I shared some recent feedback that caused me to feel very conflicted. in the end we had some wedding advice in which we discussed the revision of song lyrics and how long it should take to say goodnight... (hint: NOT 45 mins) but it almost took us 45 minutes to end this episode because the deacon got plum carried away... Enjoy!

Hershall, we have a substitute sitting in the Deacon's chair, but that doesn't mean that we are going to have a sub-par (big word for not as good) experience. The beloved Deacon is out this week on vacation and we had a wonderful time with the twin to our Songleader, Bro. Brett Cottrell. He has been a guest here before but it has been a while. We talked about the care of Puppet (Deacon Dustin's fur baby) whilst the Wakleys are on vacation. It was complete with advice during our joke segment on pet care. Brooks gave a wonderful story of Puppet's possible contraction of a condition known as Concrete Paw. We had some wonderful feedback and did a Whatcha Listenin' To segment that turned into a serious conversation in the end. It was a privilege to have our guest today as well as have all who will listen to us... Enjoy!

Hersh, it’s finally here… the time we’ve all been waiting for. We decided to release the highly un-anticipated episode that settled the debate on whether we should observe the traditional washing of feet or not. This was recorded several months ago with we and our wives. Due to a heavy traval schedule, we were unable to record our regular show so I felt it was a prime time to let the world here that we had made some definitive decisions on this topic. Take a listen and see if you agree with your stance or not, Hershall. Enjoy!

Hersh, I usually take this time to apologize at this point for all that is wrong with the episode. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to do that this time. The reason being, It would be an immensurable (big word meaning endless amount) calculation of apologies. We had Josh Smith (formerly known as Rev. Josh Smith) back here today and in the middle of the show I officially stripped us all of our spiritual titles. The overwhelming theme that came up was a historical fact that I brought up about a tragedy that happened in the year of our Lord 1919. That particular disaster caused today's disaster, hence the title of this episode. We had a completely rigged Name That Tune segment, in the which we raved about a popular group from the late 1900s. All in all, we couldn't land the plane so we made history in several ways, one of which was this is the longest episode in Pod'N Me history. You're welcome! Enjoy, if possible!

Hershall, we started out to cleanse the program and that wasn't completely successful. Brooks is out this week but we still heard from his heartbroken self via a phone call at the beginning of the program. We did have a wonderful sup that will be here again next week. T'was (big combination word) the old familiar voice Rev. Josh Smith. As the title states, he brings with him friends. Dink Burbank, the News Anchor (sometimes) of Pod'N Me, as well as an update from Sis. Connie of the Church Basement Bargains were both present here today. In the meantime we talked about some evangelistic nightmares including the tale of a mutual friend that choked on a hog leg... We shared lapel mic stories and Rev. Smith even gave a new fajita recipe. In the end, he featured an old singing hero of his from his youth and we found out that this man's brother was our deacons favored singer, of the two... Coincidence, I think not. Enjoy!

Our holy substitute, paid the ultimate price because we could never pay. Bro. Nathan gives great insight to some of the events that took place that week and it's always in order to observe those, no matter the time of year. God bless and Enjoy!

Hershall, as promised, I did as it was commanded in the Word and did some of my first works over. Some of those included calling you and starting over. We fired the boys because of their disrespect from last week and if wasn't no time til they showed back up in the studio. Well, I think they got the message... Speaking if messages, we had a long discussion that could've turned into a sermon. It was a needful talk about the Great Awakening. I also debuted (big word) a new character to laugh on the program during my joke segment. His name is Demetrius the Dino and he is already well loved. Another one our old works that we did was bring back another installment of Church Basement Bargains and let me tell you, they are having some difficulties down at Sis. Connie's church, but it seems that things are somewhat solvable. Hopefully you can find something enjoyable!

Hershall, my deepest most sincerity in apology of apologies for this week’s program. You know full well that I have built a strong legacy of truth in broadcasting here over the last years and you also known the risk I’ve ran of late whilst being absent a few weeks ago. Well, it happened again today and I thought after delivering an austere (big -biblical- word for stern) diatribe (even bigger word for angry speech) to the crew (formally know as christian brothers), that they would show some good old fashioned respect. But as you’ll hear, none is to be found on this day! I go out of town for a day-light speaking engagement and it was one proverbial punch after another. So, next week, the clean up will be a task, but I did call in to see the progress while they were recording and the best I can remember that was the only worthwhile portion but my memory is clouded as to exactly what portion of the program that took place. So, enjoy if you can!?

Hershall, things started off today fairly rough when the boys began to rail on me about what they considered a much softer stance on music by yours truly... They love to take things out of context. We powered through that and had a very serious conversation about some recent personal experiences with the power of prayer. Hopefully the conversation will be an encouragement to the folks! We also had some of the regular stuff such as feedback and finished up with a very strong Name That Tune segment, of which we never identified the winner (hint: he sings). We checked in with the News Anchor, Dink Burbank and he gave us some news.... Overall it was a decent day here and we hope that you Enjoy!

Hersh, when I got back to Studio 18 I had some cleanup work to do, and you know I'm not afraid to do just that! The boys got a lil outa control when I was absent last week... but as you know, not everything goes as planned. So, when I sat out to straighten them up a bit, they all turned on me and in the end they absolutely buried me by taking something I said out of the original context. Typing of original context, Deacon Dustin completely took an O.T. (short abbreviation for the Hebrew Scriptures) verse out of it's context to give context to a fight they started with the original editor back in February (pronounced FEB-YOU-AIR-EE). I just typed context extremely too many times for one episode description, but who even reads these? During the feedback, we found out that Gen Z Boy, Brooks, is an auctioneer now (you probably can guess the context of that statement without listening to the episode). We gave some hard hitting fashion advice and I told a couple of fan encounter stories from the week I was absent. Hint: one involved me and you Hersh... In the end, I just had to close the service down and say in my heart, 'we'll try again next week. Enjoy!

Hershall, I have been replaced…. (tears, boos, and crowd deafening jeers) I know you’re terribly disappointed. Just to let you know what happened- I had to be absent from this episode and Brooks took my seat on this trash heap. (Now would be a good time to let you in on this secret: it’s not permanent. I plan to be back next week.) For anyone wondering what Pod’N Z is like, take a listen today. Of course it took very little time for the boys to be persuaded to persecute and undermine my authority and leadership. They covered all sorts of topics such as: medical jewelry, volunteering firefighting and the ilk (little word for like). They also open some gifts from a super anonymous listener. In the end they finished by talking about the biggest news stories in recent history. They went completely political… there was a Watcha Listenin To segment and a final shot a yours truly. All in all it’s what you’d expect but ok I guess… Gen Z boy even edited so a win for me. Enjoy!

Hershall, It's our interview series, and thanks to the good folks (like you) over at Patreon that support this show, I am able to put out bonus content. This episode is just me and Bro. Brad, who you know so well, talking about some random things in his life and we ended up getting into some serious stuff! I mean, we pretty much covered the gamut (big word meaning full range of topics) with: politics, almost a conspiracy theory, basketball (spoiler alert: where he was the angry by-stander), church and we ended with a very serious discussion on our perspective of human suffering.... Enjoy!

Hershall, I hope all is well and if it's not, this episode should steer you in a better direction. We (the boys and I) tackled (not so big word for tore into) some topics today... Right off the bat (a baseball term used for explaining how quick something happened), Gen Z Boy Brooks attacked pioneer works. He also tells a story about how he revealed the truth about his hate for reading the Bible to a recent visiting minister, of all people! I cut Brad's ear off (hint: it was verbally) and Dustin reached down and picked it up and healed it back on Brad's head (another hint: a surprise that the Deacon is playing the part of healer/Messiah). We had a conversation about Old Rockers, Life Coaches and Spiritual Gambling (if there is such a thing.) All in all, I think you can find something to be underwhelmed by here today. If nothing else, be un-impressed by the Artist Spotlight segment from Bro. Brad.... N-Joy (slightly revised way of typing 'be satisfied').

Hersh, it was an appanage (big word for special favor) to have you on today's program via the dialing/answering device. We got to discuss the events of the last Youth Camp week that left us all parched. We lacked a constant water supply which caused a great deal of struggle. All of the bragging we did last week, we had to apologize for... We did discuss some very relevant topics including: day service board member attire (big word for clothes), Hair-netted Maintenance Men, Lone Wuf's, Brad's Large Abdomen (big words for big belly). In the end, I had to include a joke that was sanitized and the boys kept pushing the line with it staying that way.... We finished up with a "Watcha Listenin To?" segment. Enjoy!

Hershall, today got rather serious and it happened rather fast. Gen Z Boy, Brooks came in talking about a sermon he heard recently that was dated and the topic had lost some relevance and that spurred (cowboy sounding word) a long conversation that was more ministerial advice than anything (and I know for a fact that we aren't authorized to give out that kind of advice). We finally finished that segment and I played a song as I do sometimes that interfered with a new segment we had planned called "Artist Spotlight." I played the very top song that Deacon Dustin had picked for the segment that wasn't to be done til late in the episode. It was all unplanned (I know that is a complete surprise to you)! We had some feedback from a few different places, one of which was from our Patrons on Patreon. We were requested to do a rich man poor man segment and we also were asked to share some funny youth camp memories... Enjoy!

Hershall, we had to deal with a bunch of things during the recording process. For instance, the Deacon had some technical difficulties with his headphones. when that happened I paused the show and forgot to push record again and it costed us about six minutes of the most underwhelming content that we'll never get back. We followed that with some wonderful discussion about how Christians witnessed in the 80s and 90s with some great T-shirt material. Then we had a colossal (big word for big) fight erupt on air between the youngsters (big word for young folk). The Songleader and Gen Z Boy were in a word tussle over prayer requests. We had a couple of commercials today and some feedback, and as always, Brooks struggled to read. We ended with a wonderful tune by the mighty Cats. (oh yeah and Randy showed by up via Choo Choo train) This gave some of us a case of the Collywobbles... Enjoy!

Hersh, I wilI be the first to admit, the titles of these episodes are getting more and more ridiculous. (I think I not only will be but now was) I just hope that the trend doesn't mean that the podcast itself is going down that same trajectory (big word meaning fast flying path). In my defense, it is a challenge to come up with catchy titles which is also part of what we talked about... catchy sermon titles. We also did a new segment by Gen Z boy that included us ascribing a story to a biblical character's name. (Be prepared to be under-whelmed) We learned that our Songleader is a heavy worshipper whilst cutting the grass. I had a difficult time pronouncing the word of the week and that gave way to a short discussion on Psalm 150 including a mispronouncing of a famous unknown musical instrument (hence the second word in the title). We also talked about some music lyrics and other un-important things. Enjoy!

Hershall, I hope all is well there where you are where ever there might be... (lots of there's and where's there) The crew was all back in Studio 18 for an action packed show. I do mean what I say because at one point toward the end of the episode, Deacon Dustin was very affrighted (big word for frightened in the past tense and since this episode was recorded in the past tense I chose to use that big word). The reason for his fear was a person came by studio 18 window and her face peering in scared the proverbial beejeebers (an unknown big word out of him! Before all of that happened we talked about a great many topics. Our feedbackers gave the inspiration for the title. One feedbacker wrote in full agreement with Gen Z boy's recent comment about telling someone they have bad breath and another person of the female persuasion wrote in completely offended at the commentary given by our song leader concerning the body mass index of a certain genre of humans... I'm using big words, I know, but I'm trying to be cryptic as to not further offend. We also talked about Bumpstock Brooks, closet prayer warriors, Rolled R's, amongst other things. There was one glaring thing missing from this episode for which me and the editor are grateful... Enjoy!

Hershall, we've had a wonderful 4th annual camp meeting and this is the final day. It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. We actually checked in with you at the beginning of the episode and were already under conviction about the serious content that we debated about whether we are going to be able to continue the podcast. I thing we will try to be back next Wednesday and see what to do from there. Bro. Jon Brock discusses the subject of what it means to be a hypocrite. I think it may be a little different than what you expect. Enjoy & God Bless!

Hershall, day two of camp meeting we checked in with our Songleader to see why he's absent this year. He has a legitimate reason so we gave him an excused absence. For our serious portion we talked to Rev. Jon and Sis. Tamara Brock about a new ministry endeavor that is called Macy's Cradle. It is a wonderful work and if you want more information about it check them out at macyscradle.com. God bless and enjoy!

Hershall, day one of our 4th annual camp meeting is here. There are a few missing in the studio but Gen Z boy and your humble pastor checked in with the Deacon to get the scoop. We finished the day with some history making serious content with a rare occurrence of our wives, Sis. Hannah and Sis. Amanda, agreeing to be on here. I hope the world enjoys hearing their voices.

Hersh, I hope you don't quit listening to the podcast over this episode. I don't remember asking this before but we could use grace and please give us a chance to redeem ourselves next week during the annual Pod'N Me Campmeeting. We discussed extra letters in my name, murder mysteries, a word of the week that ended up being another sister to a now famous girl that me & Dustin one time dated (hint Piphnee's newest sister) (hence the Name in the title). *editor's note- can you have two parenthetical (big word) statements side by side in a paragraph (another big word)?? We also had a feedbacker hate on chin bushes. Brooks and I put together what we thought would be a killer (murder reference) segment that involved changing the meaning of som old idioms (what a word!). The results became disastrous! I did redeem myself somewhat by a wonderful joke segment and in the end all was made better by the, ever popular, Name That Tune segment! Enjoy what you can...

Hershall, Good news: the boys are back and did we ever have a day! We start off with a recapturing of the Gen Z boy's graduation. Let me tell you, Hersh, twas a grand ole discussion. During the feedback the boys spend a while giving all of us men of the cloth (big sounding phrase used to describe the ministry) some preaching advice. Which, of course, you know they have great advice. We then talked about some more germs along with bathroom hairdryers. We had a great review that included a joke about a well favored late Southern Gospel singer in the miniature. Bro Dustin shares that as of the recording date, it was his birthday. The last thing we talked about was our beloved RT and his AI generated vocals. Believe it or not, the boys had an opinion on that too! Enjoy!

Hershall, This is a continued discussion that I had with Rev. Nathan Wood concerning our relationship with the Bible. Today he and I discuss some very practical things to help us read and understand God's Word. I know this will be something that will strengthen our faith and ultimately draw us closer to the Lord!

Hershul, this iz a episoad with quite the krew. We had a couple of absences on the podcast so to fill in I desidead to had my two eldest along with my dodder in law to be on talking about all things home skull. it was a lot uv fun. They spint the majoridee of the time making fun of me but hay at least I can spel good. (spelling and punctuation errors are intended)
Due to some scheduling conflicts our normal crew couldn't be here... All things considered, we made it just fine. It gave me a chance to congratulate Gen Z Boy on graduating this year and we discussed many things that he and his older brother experienced as privileged homeschoolers. Britton and Moriah shared some moments of apprehension whilst adjusting to family traditions as married people. He also got some bitter things off of his mind that he was harboring against this podcast. The crew should be back next week! Enjoy!

Hersh, we had another day here on Pod'N Me. That's the only way I know how to describe it. The boys went on a several big rants whilst I tried to keep hold of the wheel. we had several close calls.... They started off by talking about driving rules that they made themselves. In the feedback section, we had an opportunity to allow our deacon to interpret a humble testimony by Gen Z Boy and it didn't disappoint. We had a "Sentence of the Week" rather than a Word and even had a string of onomatopoeias (big sounding word). In the end Brooks totally attacked a great state in our Union for absolutely no reason at all... I'm truly sorry! Enjoy!

Hershall, today is a wonderful day on the virtual church cast. I allowed Bro. Brooks to start the program and he did a wonderful rendition (big word) of Deacon Dustin leading service in my absence. We moved from there to speak about the importance of keeping our word and it got plum (rural idiom to describe an extreme amount of something) convicted. After that we had some feedback during which the Songleader, Brad Cottrell, suggested that Dustin start a ministry doing Kid's Crusades. He is a very talented sound effect man.... a one man production of sorts. We also heard from Sis. Connie of the Basement Bargains who apparently has been in hiding since the recent eclipse. Following that I (Devin Birdsong) had a HUGE announcement to make which placed me in strong solidarity (big word) with Deacon Dustin on a highly debated topic here on Pod'N Me. Enjoy!

Hershall, as we announced a few weeks back we are doing an interview series as some bonus content. Thanks to our Patreon supporters, we are able to produce more content that is free to the listeners. This will be the first of several shorter episodes that I recorded with Rev. Nathan Wood. He is a pastor friend that has been on Pod'N Me before during our campmeeting episodes last year. We discussed what our relationship with the Bible has been like over the years. I hope that what is said today will give someone the desire to read the word of God and deepen their relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless & Enjoy!

Hershall, We finally did it... I know, it's been a while but we had a serious conversation. But that was after we received an unexpected call from you. We heard Deacon Dustin's new motorcycle and talked about Robert-wire tattoos. In the feedback segment we heard found out, through a mispronunciation, that an ole favorite from a Christmas episode, Piph-nee, has a sister named Heth'r. (the previous sentence had entirely too many commas) We had a wonderful rendition (big word) of the ever popular "Rich Man, Poor Man" spring break edition. Dustin also brought some Bible reading and I finished up with a very strong joke segment. I think it will all be of encouragement to you and yourn (a outward way of saying thee and thine).

Hershall, what a catastrophe (big word that looks like it's pronounced 'cǎt-ǔh-strōf') this episode became. I don't even know where to start in explaining but we started talking about dentistry and it quickly was morphed (another big word) in to talking about eye whitening and peeeenched jaws. I shared a childhood teeth correcting trauma (big word) of mine. I then read an email from a valued listener that revealed the possibility of Deacon Dustin having the appearance of a man in a motorcycle gang. He talks about tattoos. I use a joke that had a very prominent pop-culture reference in it. Then we had a suggestion that we try a hybrid of a popular exotic dish.... hence the name Chick-lam-els. we then shared a clip of the Pod'N Z episode from this month. Ending up the episode with a very popular segment of the Name That Tune battle... Hersh, it was so rigged that the Deacon and myself had a serious discussion about leaving this podcast and starting our very own better show without the Songleader and Gen Z boy... It was intense!

Hersh, first of all, thanks for your assistance in trying to help us locate the Deacon. We ended up calling you first and when you couldn't find him, we called our investigative journalist, Dink Burbank. He worked on the case for a little bit, to no avail (big word for productive end). Come to find out, an event involving a Rapture had a great deal to do with his whereabouts.... you'll see. After we settled that we strapped on a tin foil hat we borrowed from Bro. Brad and went down the trail of a few conspiracies (big word for conspire in the plural sense). Gen Z Boy Brooks and Bro. Brad were labeled as being very narrow minded and I was labeled as being put in the slot of day speaker at a campmmeeting for purposes of only needing a time filler until lunch. We finished the program with a "Whatcha Listenin' To?" segment. Enjoy!

Hersh, buckle up.... This is a day and a half packed in an hour. We had so much happen today that I can't even recall it all. We had some wonderful button history, talked about things that are obsolete, had a wonderful gospel song in the beginning. Editor's Note: after the song was played I tried to call a good friend of mine that is a southern gospel historian of sorts. He didn't answer the phone -and I edited that all out- but texted later in the recording and so I called him at the end. He gave some great insight on mine and Deacon Dustin's early years. We also called Dink Burbank toward the end of the episode. He was completely clueless about the news of the day... we tried to help him but not didn't work well.... Just give it a listen. I'm not promising that you'll understand but who understands what goes on around here. Enjoy!

Hershall, This year for this Holy Week we decided to do something that we've not done just yet on the podcast. That is, to revisit an earlier episode of Pod'N Me. After almost four years of recording episodes on this podcast, there are many things that happened in the past on this show that has been so meaningful. One of those moments happened three years ago on Easter week. I had a good friend on here to talk about the significance of this week to the world. This one fact is the very foundation of our faith. My friend, Rev. Tim Hudson, came to talk to us 3 years ago about the proof of the Lord Jesus Christ's rising from the grave. We celebrate that fact, not just this week but every day as Christians. It's a great joy to hear this again! Listen again as we discuss the power of this wonderful Resurrection story!

Hershall, I'm glad you're here, if you are. In the course of the usual turn of events we had a many topic-ed service today on the trash-cast. We ended the program with the ever popular "Name That Tune" segment, but to begin with, we had a rather bitter start. It seemed that the feedback along with the general attitude of the boys was a touch on the bitter side. We did finally manage to bring the show around but the bitterness crept (big word for past tense of creeped which is also a past tensed worded?) in on us again. Some of the big issues we discussed were: attending church on vacation, bad grandparent names, and restaurant etiquette (awesome big word). We even discovered that Deacon Dustin has an affinity (big word for something in common) with Jacob of old and it has to do with his ancestral burial grounds. That was a whole conversation that stemmed from a rare tradition of decorating at the place of the deceased.... whew, what a day! The deacon fixed his mic stand in the process of the day and also pulled a significant win on the last. Enjoy!

Hersh, we had a special guest on today. It is the Deacon's son... what a privilege it was to have him today. We took a poll on the Patreon page (see support link below) and asked who would be a suitable next guest on Pod'N Me and the voters decided a member of the family of our Deacon was their choice. We had a wild ride today. This is a Non-GMO, Vegan, Gluten Free episode... speaking of that, I had a little slip of the vision when trying to read the label on the bag of provender that I pitched for our Songleader. Many other things were discussed in the episode. Just try to sort it out the best that you can... Enjoy, if possible!

Hershall, t'was a pleasure to hear your voice on the airwaves today. I was especially phelgmatic (big word for not showing emotion), yet very ecstatic (big word) about your kind acceptance of the new premium content that we released at the first of the month. After we said goodbye, we had some feedback and that's where the concerning title came in... one of our listeners was asked to detox (big word for get un-addicted) from Pod'N Me. We also covered some very important topics like chicken salad, procrastination and peanut butter phobias. In the end we had Gen Z Boy, Brooks, read some apple reviews and he got totally demolished in his pronunciation of some words. We crash landed the plane talking about titles of endearment for our parents and grandparents. Warning: it was uneasy. Finally we talked about the word of the day that ended in another rant.... Enjoy, if possible.

Hershall, It was big doin's (lesser words meaning large performances) on Pod'N Me today.... Though I have interviewed our guest today, he has ne'er (little word meaning never) been in Studio 18 to record in person with us. His name is Rev. David Brimm and he is the guy that I called to get advice from when I was contemplating (big word for thinking about) the start of this trash heap of a podcast. I always wanted to have someone to blame I guess. We made much ado (little word that I can't explain fully) about his in person-arrival with trumpets and fan fare. He was absolutely underwhelmed with the feeling of grandeur (big word day, I guess). He contributed much today and even commandeered (are you serious, Dev, the big words!) a very most popular part of the program. We did have some information that we passed to our listeners such as: preacher's initials, mouse measurements, whale sounds and a few other very useful topics. Toward the home-stretch, we had a very important conversation about how media has affected our faith.... Enjoy!

Hersh, you read it right we have some big changes on the way this week that is completely explained in the episode today. I know you won't be disappointed with the collaborative (big word for combined faculties of mental brainstormability) efforts that we used to arrive at the change referenced in the title. Before we talked about the change, we had quite a lengthy discussion about phobias (big word for unbalanced fears) that we have. Fair warning, Deacon Dustin is scared of something that almost completely took him out of commission on air!!
Enjoy the discussion, if possible. And thanks from all of us to you for listening on a regular basis!

Hershall, you read it correctly, if you did. Here it is another special pagan holiday that we as Christian's can all unite behind and I certainly hope you took our reminder last week and got Loretta something special to show your unwavering devotion to her.... Enough about you guys, let me tell you what happened here today. We had a fuliginous (big word of the week) time today. There was certainly some virtual soot that was sprayed upon the airwaves. We started off by my presentation of some presents to the Deacon Dustin and our Songleader Brad. It wasn't to do with the day. I had forgot to give them earlier so today became the day. After that we hit a rabbit trail during feedback that started by talking about unity candles and we quickly divided into a discussion about ninja's, nunchucks, guns and knives in God's house.... (talk about a battle) That ended by the boys complaining about our sheep show at the home church and we ha to move on. We had a very special Valentine's Day appearance by Constance Smith aka Sis. Connie of the Church Basement Bargains and then we moved to the real reason for today. Dating advice is finally here! That turned disastrous and we now have renamed beloved pagan holiday.... Happy Gallon-tine's Day! Enjoy the party, if you can.

Hersh, you read it right, our very own Songleader had tried his hand at politics and now he is taking over as pastor here at Pod'N Me. (I'm quite sure he's not going to make it in the ministry but he gives it his best shot today. We had Bryce, my youngest son to here today to talk about who is the favorite child in this household as well as include some trivia for a beloved cow-dog in his life. Gen Z Boy was also here to do a very special Name That Tune segment in preparation for next week's big day.... St. Valentine is on his way. Brooks also got called out for his inability (big word for lack of ability) to read. I also reveal to the world that my wife and I are having some serious marriage issues over an old habit I have indulged in over the years. As you can read, some very serious things take place here today. Enjoy!

Hershall, you need not that I should write unto thee concerning the former portion of the title, because thou wast there. (previous string of words was KJV sounding) I am referring to your presence at the Minister's Conference that I attended last week and which you are a part of because your father implored (big word for beg) you to be. I have attended this particular conference on occasion but none was so much embarrassing for me as this year. I gave our audience the 'behind the scenes' of what went on with my great embarrassment. I also told of the many new listener encounters I had as well as one of your "holler Loretta" requests. We also had Gen Z Boy (my son, Brooks) on today for the full episode to give great insight and he even gave us the word of the week. We had a special appearance in studio 18 with Dink Burbank, our fearless news director and we even had an appearance from Sis. Connie Smith of the Church Basement Bargains and she told of their trip to the Minister's Conference. We ended with the train derailing completely at the possibility of what an Earwig is.... Enjoy!

Hersh, may I ask a question? Do you like it when a preacher gets up and asks for you to turn to your neighbor (the person to the left or right of you on the church -not your actual neighbor) and tell said person something that the preacher said to say? (If you're keeping track, I asked two questions) Well, we have a new way of approaching your neighbor/person beside you in church. After all, you tune in to this show every week to learn valuable stuff and we keep delivering. We talked about how the Songleader consumes Pringles and 9 other hard hitting facts. We have a new way to eat Bugles (not a sponsor or an instrument used by boys in past wars who in turn were used in a few sermon illustrations, but the food product) We had another word of the day and much much more. We even had some serious conversation about what we all have in common or maybe what we all lack in common... Enjoy!

Hershall, it's always good to be with you. Every week you show up and we try our best to do the same. Well, I don't really know how to describe what happened today. We did have an important update on Dink Burbank for those that are worried about his absence. We found out that Deacon Dustin has lived most of his spiritual life going from glen to glen and even to dales (words that dual as men's names and vales).... That realization came from a conversation we had about songs that used other song melodies. We also talked about the Deacon's beloved dog, Puppet. He has now joined a puppy support group that Songleader and President Brad renamed. As the title suggests, President Brad got renamed too... Your humble, virtual pastor was requested to start writing greeting cards. The Deacon brought some Bible for us and we ended up taking about some of the worst things we have ever ate/eaten/et....

Hershall, how about that title? Yep, you can tell by the title that we had some varied topics, which is something I know you've come to expect. We started out the Deacon had an ailment (big word for health problem) that he asked our advice on how to handle... then as I do because I am a minister, I turned the discussion to a more spiritual topic. We discussed how we are supposed to handle promotion in the kingdom of God. We had some feedback that caused the resident homeschooler (Brooks) to correct Bro. Brad on his enunciation (big word) of a particular astronomical (and another big word) reference. Yes, as we said last week the Gen Z kid (Brooks, my second offspring) is back today. We had some conversation of some new Gen Z terms and followed up at the end with another new word which is referenced in the title. Enjoy!

Hershall, Happy New Year! Good to be back with you (in a virtual sense). We started off the program with a rather serious conversation and it was really time. We talked about how to deal with life's interruptions. We then moved to an update about Deacon Dustin's beloved dog, Puppet. She got a gift which we opened on air. While the Deacon was reading about the contents of the gift, he made a costly homeschooled mistake which we didn't let slide. President Brad appointed a new cabinet member and did a stellar job at reading the feedback from the last few weeks. We slowly rushed to the end of the show with a new segment that has much potential for the coming weeks called "Word of the Week." Oh yeah, and we had a "Watcha Listenin' To?" segment following the new segment at the end.... It sounds much more confusing than what it is or was... Enjoy!

Hersh, here I come a wrotin' (big word meaning the past tense of writing cause when you read this I will have already wrote -or typed- this) to you, again. I act like you don't know a thing that went on here today and you know the majority of what went on because you were present for the fun. When I say fun, I mean fun. We heard a story in the beginning from the boys (title used for the song leader and deacon combined that has somewhat become a term of endearment which is another big word) about their struggles in being spiritual superior (bw) in every way to me, their humble pastor. After all of that superfluity (big word meaning something unnecessary), we were able to continue the post- Christmas blues. We had another wonderful installment of the Church Basement Bargains where Sis. Connie announced their upcoming watch night service. We followed up the show with a final word from the now world acclaimed quartet of voices, Hersh & the Chips. God bless and we plan to meet back here next year at this same time and on this same group of stations. Enjoy, if possible!

Hersh, we can let the secret out now. Loretta is a stellar (big word for star or outstanding) singer. She made her debut with The Chips in an unprecedented (big word sounding like a country without a leader but meaning unmatched) level of sheer (another big word that I really don't know but thought it fit in the sentence) talent. Speaking of podcasts without true leadership, Songleader Brad (vague reference to the new Pod'N Me president) just about gets ousted (I mean really... how many big words and phrases can a guy use in one description... come on now) as the favorite voice on the famed Chips installment. There were many other festive things done today including a lengthy discussion about toys toward the end of the program and the Deacon read one of his favorite Christmas passages in a very difficult to understand but actual translation of the Bible. Finally as the title suggests, we heard from the very popular with a few, members of Church Basement Bargains. This time Sis. Connie J. Smith calls in to make a Christmas announcement preceded (big word) by some deathly depressing talk between her and Elder Ronnie. Whew, Hersh, I'm tired of thinking of big words so suffice it to keyboardly communicate this tiding from all of us at Pod'N Me, Merry Christmas!

Hershall, Whew (big word for exasperated sound), what a day! You were here so I don't have to share anything with you but for the sake of the crowd gathered here I'll give a brief description. We started off strong with a return from the very popular Christmas singing group, Hershall & The Chips! They will be with us throughout the rest of the month. Then, we made history by having your youngest offspring, Emma Ingram (affectionately known as The Emma-Fluencer)on the program to talk about a few things. She told of a childhood pet that had some abnormalities and also included some information about some favoritism that may still be going on in the household. She is going to be in charge of all the music this month and does she ever know her Christmas tunes. Typing of tunes, she arranged for a Name that Tune segment that ended in complete unexpected victory for the least prepared one of us.... We had some great conversation about our favorite childhood toys. Dink brought the news... well, just listen because there's way too much to tell here! Merry Christmas!

Hershall, the Pod'N Me Christmas festivities are in full swing here! We look forward to the month and started off with a proverbial bang! It didn't take long for our Beloved Deacon to offend a couple of groups of Pod'N Me constituents. We had a conversation bout when and how Christmas decor is legal to be put up. Hersh, the boys seem to be in a very festive mood this year. Deacon Dustin told us about a trick that he uses to light his tree and also get around the well known Old Testament scripture concerning Christmas trees. We talked telephonically (big word for on the phone) to a fan of the show and tried to turn it in to an intervention of sorts. Dink Burbank did a live broadcast from a Christmas parade. We ended with some very good Christmas trivia that included guessing the highest selling toys by volume from the year we were born. Enjoy! (if possible)

Hersh, It feels so idiosyncratic (huge word for odd) that I am still the one doing these episode descriptions and we have a brand new president of this lowly esteemed podcast. As you know because he called you today and got your full support, President Brad Cottrell has been officially inaugurated as the Commander-in-chief of the podcast and his Vice President is our very own beloved Deacon Dustin Wakley. As for me, my feelings have been hurt a bit but I am now Speaker of the House and with this new administration there has been some change and very little hope in my estimation. But, I vowed to support and will do so as long as I can in good conscience. We heard from you and your job remains and then we also told of some harrowing thanksgiving stories.... All in all, we are all (excessive use of the word all) doing our diligence to make the best of a ba... anyway we're moving forward. Enjoy!

The very first Pod'N Me Presidential Debate takes place and you get to hear the outcome. Since this is trademarked under the major network(s), I will keep the details to a minimum (big word for little said). Thanks for all you do and should there be a major change in leadership, I will always show my support for you as the greatest listener of all time... There is no debating that! Enjoy!

Hershall, this was one for the proverbial record books! We had Dink Burbank in Studio 18 and it was all downhill or uphill from there depending on how you are looking at things today. I can't even begin to remember all that went on so I'll just let you listen and find out that way... Please stay tuned til the end because we played an old game with a new twist called, Ashamed of That Tune although it wasn't planned that way. We finished with Dink Making a Ginormous-ly HUGE announcement about next week's episode. I don't want to alarm you but it could change the entire future of the podcast. Enjoy! (if possible)

Hey Hersh, (new greeting that I hope you like) We had another sublime (big word for wonderful) day here on the virtual church cast you've came to know and love. There was another absence but we don't concentrate on what we didn't have, we colligate (big word for unite) behind what we do have and go on with the program. We made a HUGE announcement about the next couple of weeks that is no doubt going to amaze all who listen and bring glad tidings to most hearts. A political show is in the works so mark your calendars. (It will be most rare here on Pod'N Me.) We had some great feedback from the folks as well as an unpaid employee (Og by Name) was greatly ill at ease over another feedbacker and he let his disdain (a big word) be heard by the world. Dink delivered the dynamic dispatch of reportage in a dashing way. (I'm impressed with myself due to that string of words!) We ended with a serious discussion about the role of confession in the church today... Enjoy!

Hershall, We had quite a day here on the church-cast. To start with, our beloved Deacon missed church. We had a great fill-in named Brooks S. Birdsong. He is a young man that has been on Pod'N Me previously and he did a/an (insert catchy adjective) job at filling in today. We invited our audience to just "come as you are" and not to feel bad about the way they look for the virtual service. We were incorrectly corrected by a listener in the feedback segment. I also brought a stellar joke that brought a truck load of excitement. Speaking of truck loads, we actually ended with a huge amount of advice of the serious spiritual kind at the end. There was so much conviction that we brought on ourselves that I almost had to ease out of Studio 18. Dink brought some News as usual and all in all, we had good day! Enjoy!

Hersh, We have a wonderful show lined up today. I don't for one moment think that you'll be disappointed (big word for malcontent). As the title gave away, we started with a very relevant discussion on drive-thru food and we even had the production room doing some great work for added effects. That talk led to a comment about blue and other colors of chicken. We seamlessly moved to other topics, some of which we brought up by the listeners in the feedback segment. Topics like measuring from the withers and charted female voices... I know all of these things are riveting content. We heard from Dink Burbank and his News Desk and also heard from the old familiar voice of Sis. Connie and Elder Ronnie from the Church Basement Bargains. At long last we reviewed some various facts about hunting season for all of our avid hunting listeners... Enjoy!

Hershall, it was an honor to speak to you today via the telephone and we look forward to the time when you are in the new Studio 18. We talked about a few things prior to you being on here including a serious portion at the beginning of the show to remind us how much we need God in these troubled days! We also had some great feedback, as always. Dink was almost absent for his news segment which resulted in a last minute emergency fill-in, Rev. Andrew Blevins, who was incidentally last week's guest here. Dink called in and wrecked his fame and then we all three had a good conversation that really did end in disarray due to a new sign-off salutation that Dink made up for evangelists to use. We ended the program by talking to you, Hersh. We'll let everyone hear that exchange and hopefully enjoy!

Hershall, We did exactly what the title states at the beginning of the show today. We plum ran a tar off of the virtual church bus. Thankfully we were able to get it back rollin' in the right direction. Speaking of rollin' down the road, we shared a song that was requested by a real trucker friend that is also a Southern Gospel Music Connoisseur (big word for an expert). He will be very pleased to hear his request being granted. That led to a discussion on quartet bass singers (all riveting content here) and some other un-important randomness... We also enjoyed a moment where I revealed the gifts that you gave to the three of us (you as in Hersh, us as in me, Brad and Dustin). We talked about truth in advertising as well as heard that Bro. Brad turned the bathroom light off on a co-worker out of sheer frustration!
We also had a wonderful time with our special guest, Rev. Andrew Blevins. He told me after the fact that he is a cousin of yours.... We have heard about your cousins but now we have seen and met another one! He is a gifted preacher but we didn't talk much about his ministry because we wanted him to share some stories of his time as a hospital maintenance man... that he did! It was a joy to have him here. Enjoy!

Hershall, you read the title correct... There is a new Birdsong on the podcast, but then again, why am I telling you? She was a member of your church before someone stole her heart... We talk about the previle..... challenges of becoming a Birdsong. We also heard a song about a church pew at the first of the program. We tell our awkward first encounters with the new Birdsong girl as well as get her perspective on this trash pile of a podcast. (Hint: she was a fan before the possibility of being our daughter) We even talked to her about the serious topic of social media and some of it's negative effects. She gave some I sight and maybe some unsolicited (big word for un-asked-for) advice. In the middle of the podcast as I normally do, I had a joke about two guys in a boat that came away with a very strong condemnation (big word for denunciation) of smoking.... here again, I did my level best to prepare my cohorts and the first editor (my lovely Hannah) with a PSA for the fact that in NO WAY do I condone the actions of those in the joke 🚭. We did have a first time winner/player on Name That Tune and just a little hint, she did great! Enjoy if possible!

Hersh, I almost quit the podcast but after much contemplation (big word for ponder), I acquiesced (one of the biggest words ever used on here meaning to reluctantly accept) the fact that Pod'N Me wouldn't be what it is without me. I DID have to have a heart to heart talk with my co-horts. Let's just say they both seemed very shook up at the possibility of me resigning my all important position as "President Everything" on here. We did manage to have an excessive amount of music today and some was loved by none and some was loved by some... In the mix of it all, we also covered my recent travel west and meeting celebrities, we found Jesus in a Ford (supposedly), Dustin got mad at the editor, etc. In the end, we found out why Og has been absent and it has to do with his arm... Enjoy if possible!

Hershall, before you have your phone blowing up with upset fans questioning what has went on with our News Anchor, Dink Burbank, I ask you to please read the episode title again carefully. He is still on staff but he did have a very close brush with career disaster. We'll just suffice (big word) it to say that for now. After that Brad started the service with a favorite hymn from a favorite group. We disclosed a new detail on Studio 18. We had some great feedback per usual. Then we tried a new segment with my middle son, Brooks, that we call "The Gen Z Boy" segment. It went mid at first but got very cheugy in the end... after that we did a name that tune segment that was completely rigged against me but I kept a humble attitude. We had a rather abrupt ending which will explain the last part of the title of this episode. Enjoy if you can!

Hershall, We were proud to hear your voice today on the trash-cast, though quiet it was... We called to bear the wonderful tidings of our new home, Studio 18. I had Bro. Brad & Bro. Dustin describe the scenes here in the vast complex that is Pod'N Me's new home. To hear them talk, it is something of beauty that we all feel proud (in the correct way) of. We even had a listener ("Anyone's Guess") send us some fan mail for the inaugural episode in 18 (that's what I type Studio 18 for short). The fan mail was something that was requested to open and try on air. It was a Jelly Bean game that had us all gagging and coughing.... We checked in with Dink Burbank to let him know that we were in a new studio as well. To top it all off, we had a "Whatcha Listenin' To?" segment that ended with finding out Bro Dustin's reaction to a smashed thumb... Enjoy if possible!

Hershall, a jammed, packed show is in store for you today. I decided to start off the show with a very moving account (otherwise known as a joke) about a newly wed friend of mine up north who's wife is fond of ailing fowls. We followed that by some feedback where so much happened that we even forgot we were in the middle of an email... Bro. Dustin was triggered when he though his family tree was going to be cut on and threatened Bro. Brad so much that I thought they would have to settle the dispute off air and maybe end with physical harm. Something was said about having Identical Grandmas and we had a segment of The Rich Man and Lazarus... Speaking of Rich Men, we found out where they are from and that that Songleader Brad was actually at that very location and picked up the most awful water for us to hydrate with in Studio 4. Dink brought the news and we finish with a discussion on Christian Bud-words.... Enjoy, if possible!

Hershall, I know by the title that you are saying, 'finally they are dealing with the topic of tithing!' And I am quite sure that most of your friends and family (aka cousins) that listen are waiting to hear the opinions that we have on the subject of tithing... Well, the episode took this turn as I was attempting to thank the audience for their continued support and the boys (Songleader Brad and Deacon Dustin) just took the subject and ran with it. It was virtually (see what I did there) out of my control. We also had some wonderful feedback wherewith (big word) such topics were discussed as: temple maintenance, Brad's marriage advice, setting a certain gender down in church (not endorsed by Pod'N Me), things not to try in a small town (vague cultural reference)... We ended with a rather serious discussion stemming from a "Whatcha Listening To" segment about asking God questions. Dink Burbank gave us the news and that is pretty much the long and short of it... Enjoy if you can!

Hershall, as you well know, we do our level best to accommodate the ministry of all sorts here on Pod'N Me. Well, if you look in the virtual vestibule of the virtual church today you'll see that there is a missions table set up with various items from a foreign country (**editor's mental note- what other kind of country is there?). Well, you will see as we go along here. The green room is occupied with a couple that have given the last years of their life to the service of the Lord as missionaries to Kenya, Africa. They left a review on Apple on our podcast page sharing how the laughter and light-hearted conversations that we have on here have been a source of strength to them both over the past year and some months. Rev. Jeremy and Sis. Bilita Sipe are here today to share the testimony of the miracle working power of God in their lives. You can certainly hear the true joy of the Lord in their voices as they share with us the testimony of God's great faithfulness during the most difficult of situations.
If you would like to contact them or support their work, you can find out more about them by going to:
https://www.projectholynations.com/
Find them on Instagram @Jm_sipe and @tildysipe.
We first subjected them to all of the normal run-of-the-mill (big phrase that describes the mundane) stuff you have come to expect and possibly enjoy here on the church-cast. Dink is back at his desk with a powerful news segment. The Deacon and Songleader collect some culinary (big word for cooking) knowledge from our missionaries. Spoiler alert🚨: a favorite cereal is a Kenyan dish... who knew?

Hershall, This is an episode that you nor any other of the ilk (little word for like you) will want to miss. Thanks to our Soup-er Fan, Sis. Odie Boggs, for informing us that today is National Tell a Joke Day... So, we were all three enthralled (big word for fascinated) by the possibility of out joking the other. Many hilarities ensued (sophisticated sounding sentence). We also heard from Sis. Connie J. Smith of the Basement Bargains. We hit topics such as clan (your read right) chowde, Brad's confessions and Mardel's oil changes for life... We discussed the items recently viewed in a hospital gift shop. One big programing note was Dink Burbank was out today and Bro. Brad filled in for him... Bro. Dustin came after feminine prophets and I gave the strongest joke during the close of the episode. God bless and enjoy (if possible)!

Hershall, We had a bit of a calamity (big word for sudden event that brings loss) when Dink Burbank, our trusted news correspondent was absent from his desk but we find out some great "news" in the process that actually involves your latest business venture. We also had a studio audience (my youngest son Bryce and Dustin's son Jaxon) and got a gift from one of them. As we seamlessly moved through the various topics of the day (duck walls, turkey floors, fanny packs, etc.), we somehow kept visiting the topic of fashion. During that discussion we found out that the Deacon would prefer to carry a purse over some other handier accessories. The Songleader and I made a vital correction to a previous mentioned detail about house slippers. I got a genuine laugh out of both brothers during my highly funny joke segment. We even heard from the long trusted and beloved Sis. Connie during the Church Basement (or piano bench) Bargains! All in all it was a fairly enjoyable, non life-threatening show!

(Whether you did or not I'm going to type (tell) you) *editors note: I am not quite sure if I can put a parenthetical word inside of a parenthetical statement but it looks like I just did... I will delay to tell you no further, Trey Brock of the Brock Family was on the show telephonically (big word for via telephone). We opened with him singing a new song from their new album, Treasure. We also had a listener almost get evicted by her husband for listening to this virtual trash pile. Dink Burbank brought some hard hitting news and Deacon Dustin and Songleader Brad had a new routine that they did concerting braggers. We finished the day with a Tuning Tie.... Enjoy (if possible)!

They gave us an update about their lives that included sick animals and cereal preferences... all in all, it was going well til I had a slight mix up on mat cereal flavors and ACTUALLY gave a ringing endorsement to a tobacco product by mistake. Then in our new segment called "Whatcha Listening' To?" I set myself up to be the prey of my comrades... just listen and enjoy if you can! God bless!

Hershall, we're happy to bring you another fine episode today but this was all we had... er, I mean, we were able again to deliver. The show started with possibly a resuscitation or recitation. I was accused of being one of the sons of Gath. We were asked to start a dating advice service. Bro. Brad suggested that my humor was fowl. A reviewer gave a square headed review and ended up having a serious conversation about having a hunger for God. A listener sent a recording of a previously mentioned singer on this podcast but slightly modified so we felt obligated to include it at the end of the episode... Enjoy!

Hersh, we're back here again broadcasting from Studio 4, the ole home place. We had the Superfan start the show with an update and a comical incident that she encountered here in the great state of Oklahoma a few weeks back. She even gave us an update on you and how you and Loretta were representing the podcast well... The Deacon showed up dealing with a summer cough but still powered through the service. I share some recent speech problems, Dink brought the news and we even debuted (big word for tried for the first time) a new segment called, "Watcha Listening' To?" We had some great feedback and of course the jokes were so strong that my last joke caused us to stop the exit music and give some much valued/needed/sought after dating advice... Enjoy!

Hershall, thanks for again allowing us to gather in Studio 17, which is also your office, to have this wonderful conversation with some of the greatest people I've ever know. I'm thankful that you are here as well to chime in with your thoughts. Our guests, Rev. and Sis. Blue have spent the greater portion of their ministry involved in youth and kids ministry. (come to think of it, Hersh, this may be a clue to why we connect so well with them) They give us some behind the scenes of what their start in the ministry was and how God called them both and brought their lives together to form what I feel has been one of the most effective youth ministries of our time. They are always quick to give God all of the glory for any success that they've experienced. They also give some very helpful advice for anyone who has the burden to start in children's ministry. I know you will enjoy hearing from these familiar voices that many of us grew up hearing from! God Bless & Enjoy!

Hershall, Thanks so much for allowing me to come to your office aka Studio 17 and record with a friend of Pod'N Me. It is always great to have you on the podcast but I'll have to say (and I just did) that you and I were in tall cotton so to speak (or type) during this episode. The friend I'm referring to is the man who was the debut (big word that doesn't sound like it looks) guest on this podcast, Rev. Mike Blue. We talked today about something that was the subject of his message at a Minister's Conference a number of years ago and has had such an impact on me personally. It's the subject of Overwhelming Stress. Bro. Blue identifies three different kinds of stress that we can encounter and illustrates it in the most wonderful way. He follows that with the remedy for every kind of stress! I won't spoil it for you here. I know our listeners will enjoy hearing this today! God Bless!

Hershall, we did it... what, you say? After over three years doing this podcast, we actually had a serious (well that's debatable because we can't seem to have those) conversation about allowing you and the other 9 listeners to have a way to support the show... It was a rather uncomfortable conversation for all three of us (me, the Songleader & the Deacon). After that, we had a wonderful feedback segment during which we had a listener tell us how her young child got her in a "nice belly" debacle (big word for disastrous bind) over some previous commentary on this very podcast. Bro. Brad got a new name, Bro. Dustin was Hunky Dorree, we heard from a "red handed evangelist" and we even talked a little bit about The Brat (as in bratwurst) Family. We also had Dink Burbank's one year anniversary news segment. Thanks, Dink, for all you do for Pod'N Me! Enjoy!

Hershall, how about that? What, you say? The title of the episode tells it all, it looks like we are going to hear about a recent celebrity sighting that out very own Deacon had at a meet-n-greet so to speak. Well, I won't spoil the ending for you so just listen to find out what happens. In the mean time, let me tell you what many other topics that we covered on this highly sought after church cast today... We discussed: shoe trivia including a new brand called Devin Kurants, talked ice cream flavors, and even discussed Provolone Cheesecake. There was some talk about a least favored singer or two and in the end a strong couple of jokes were delivered by the Poderator whom people loved. Speaking of jokes, the Songleader had some success delivering a joke or two his own self! Dink brought the news and that was about the short of it... Enjoy!

Hershall, we have a big surprise for the final day of camp meeting 2023. Bro. Davin referenced this man yesterday on the episode and how he has been an influence in his life... Well, it just so happens that I am his pastor. This is a familiar voice to the Holiness people... Rev. Don Rich. He and his wife, Sis. Shirley share some experiences that they have had in their ministry over the years and though they aren't able to travel and preach any more like they used to, they still have a desire to do what they can for the kingdom of God. They have been an encouragement to me over these last few years that I have been their pastor. Enjoy!

Hershall, for the second day of Campmeeting here this year we finally had the Songleader and Deacon show up... They missed yesterday but we know how hard they work to make this meeting possible. Someone else who showed up for service is our speaker, Rev. Davin Burnett. He is a close friend of mine and has been for many years. He shares some interesting strories of his heritage in the holiness movement. He has had a great burden to help the elder ministers that have given their lives to carry the gospel. It is a wonderful privileged to hear him talk about this vision and I think it will be a blessing to you to hear it as well! Enjoy!

Hershall, It's Campmeeting time again and I'm glad you showed up for church! I'll tell you who didn't make the first service today is the Deacon and the Songleader, but we understand that sometimes even board members can't make it to the first service due to the demands of groundskeeping and the such like ( a rather empty sounding ending to a sentence). We do have some close friends show up for the episode. It is a wonderful privilege to have Rev. Donnie King and his father, Bro. Donald King, the hosts of The Pod King Bible Study podcast here today. We talk about some camp meeting memories that we have and then Rev. King shared with us some things about one of the most pressing issues of our day. He talks about it's dangers as well as a wonderful way to deal with it in every one of our lives! God Bless & Enjoy!

Hershall, what a day is all I can say! Thanks for listening in again. Twas a wonderful time we had today. We started off with a heated (not really) debate about clapping in church. Following that, I actually jokingly (big word that never flows well when spoken) quit the podcast to be a sailor. The Songleader gave an emotional review followed by many more reviews. We learned what a high class chuckle is and we discussed a popular eating establishment which is the hot e of their signature roll throwing. That led to the flawless delivery of a joke I made up on the fly (pun intended). We talked about whistling off key and many other unimportant topics... Enjoy!

Raise a Hallelujah Podcast... tween me and you, Hersh, the shout-out came from a close family member, but we decided contact the hosts of the podcast and we had a great conversation with them. Their names are Rev. Bobby and Sis. Bekah Sandlin and here is a link to their show.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/raise-a-hallelujah/id1661664907
We continued on with the regular stuff such as: feedback, some wonderful jokes, and even some serious content at the end. We talked about where the idea of truth being relative leads a society.... away from God, our Creator.
We also had an update today from Sis. Connie of the Basement Bargains on her recent trip to the Smokies. We found out that our very own Super or Souperfan has more names.
We are glad you tuned in!

Hershall, I don't want to give away too much information in this description, but I think someone, who's voice has been a staple here at Pod'N Me, may be in jeopardy (big word for danger) of losing their position here... You'll find out very soon. We had a rather serious talk toward the beginning of the show about the methods of worship versus the object of worship. Then we covered a plethora (big word for many) of topics including: preaching advise, how to open charcoal bags and cement bags, flat screwdrivers, Plumed headwater, fencepost foam, devotions before bed, the consumption of insects.... and we flawlessly moved through each subject with ease, as you would expect... Dink Burbank had a bit of a catastrophe (big word for bad things that happened) in his news room. but managed to make it through and finish strong. We fulfilled a request for Sis. Connie to be back with some Basement Bargains. Among the words that were used for the first time on this podcast were: ossafrage & aggregate. Oh yeah and we found out Deacon Dustin is a snake handler. We also hear Big Bad Brad holler out a street term... Enjoy!

Hershall, we always try to lead with our mistakes here, so when we got the news that a listener was offended, we took drastic measures and I think we patched things up in a grand fashion. Then, we talked about many random things this week including: shrugged shoulders, frog names, quail losses, clothing patterns, turning thanks, and on and on could go... (actually we did go) Dink Burbank delivered a very timely, interesting deep dive to our news segment. I think you'll be intrigued by his take on the topic of artificial intelligence. We ended the episode with opening some wonderful fan mail from The Men Of Faith. If you would like to see what they are all about go here: https://themenoffaith.org/ We appreciate their kindness to send us some of their merch! Enjoy!

Hersh, I'm glad that you're here today. There was a special piece of correspondence that came to us this week and we decided to include it as a wonderful portion on our program. I know you are aware about it so be excited when you listen... It has to do with your eldest offspring (big word for child). We also had a chorus of opinions mentioned on this episode and our very own Songleader said he loves a good Three-peat (new word where three people repeat the same issue). Among the other topics discussed today are: breath mints, cologne (brute for women), missed childhood candy, and we found out that Og is actually a king. Dink brought the News and the Deacon has a very strong supporter. We ended the day having a very serious discussion about the power of Forgiveness! Enjoy!

Hershall, I think we have a few surprises in store on today's episode. One was a very special Birthday wish and song to The Emma Fluencer. We also discuss the possibility of starting a Pod'N Me Boutique (big word for over priced clothing). We received some very touching trinkets (another big word for over priced items) from our very own Songleader. He took a recent trip over seas and was gracious enough to bring the Deacon Dustin and me some very costly souvenirs (big word for overprices items again). We got a puppet hair growth update as well as a progress report on Bro. Brad's diminishing farm. Hint: he's missing some hoppers (cryptic word for Leporidae)
Speaking of Bro. Brad... He actually answers the call on this episode and I think Rev. Brad Cottrell is an appropriate title for now... We'll see... Hey stay til the end of the episode because I actually forgot a very important segment... No joke! Enjoy!

Hershall, It has been a wonderful privilege again today to visit with Pastor Jon Isaacs. As we promised yesterday we talked about a very important aspect of Christianity. It's one that is anchored on the fact that Christ arose from the grave and that is the subject of a resurrected life. When we are born into the family of God by faith in Christ, we receive a new life to live here but that's not all... One of these days, our sinful, corruptible bodies will be changed. Bro. Isaacs and I talk about what the Word of God says that will be like. We are always bettered when we discuss the eternal truths that are laid out on the life of Christ! Enjoy!

Pastor Jon Isaacs, who is a repeat guest, is here for two days to recount this woman's journey of faith in Christ. We had a wonderful conversation of how she was converted and kept by the power of the Resurrection of Jesus. Join us again tomorrow as Bro. Jon and I discuss the significance of the Resurrection to each believer! God Bless & Enjoy!

We covered many topics today and on the off chance that someone wants to read this before listening, here are the topics: Church splits, Hershall's praise, homeschool graduations, and some hard-hitting animal trivia. One of the best moments was when Loretta decided to interrupt the program by bringing in Crumbl (not a sponsor) cookies. We talked about a recent message of yours about Dirty Socks, Dink Burbank gave the news and we rounded the corner for the final stretch by letting you cheat your way to a victory in a "Name That Tune plus something" segment.

Hershall, I made an executive (big word for Devin) decision to exclude your name from the title of this episode since you kinda snuck in to Studio 4 today. That doesn't at all mean that we weren't grateful for your sacrifice in showing up. We had an eventful day today... Maybe even HISTORIC (big word for famous or potentially so) in a way. We heard from an infamous feed-backer today that so graciously made the decision to inform us that his email would likely (big word for we would like) be his last correspondence via email.... we shall see. As usual, we covered a wonderful range of topics such as: 7-eleven (not a sponsor) credit cards, Opossums (and possums), and organ donations. We heard another new venture from the Deacon about bringing invaded by a family of felis sylvestris catus (big words for cats). When that story was completed, you (Hershall) told of a new pet that has made it's abode underneath your house. I'm looking forward to seeing you again on here next week, Hersh! God Bless!

Hershall, who knew that in just 2 1/2 short years that your work in feeding animals would have such a profound effect (or "affect" the humble typist can't ever recall which type -pun intended- of effect to have on a sentence) on our very own cast of characters, so to speak (or type or read -depending on whether you are me or you, the typist or the read-est... ne'er mind, you get the point)? I am referring to the fact that now after almost 3 years of Pod'N Me, Our virtual Songleader, Brad Cottrell and our virtual Deacon, Dustin Wakley both are endeared (big word for locked in love) to the animal kingdom. A kingdom of animals would be a good way to describe what Bro. Brad has now... so many animals that we sang a portion of an old nursery rhyme to him and about him. We also had a wonderful guest on this episode. It was my youngest son, Bryce Birdsong. As we promised last week, he made his appearance in honor of this being the month of his nativity. Among other topics discussed today was: Brad's Fan Encounter, Ostriches in Dustin's Garage and The Deacon and I sing a made up song together with the same words and tune to start out. We were so convincing that the Songleader thought it was a legit (cooler shortened way of saying legitimate). We ended the train wreck today by playing a couple of songs by Bro. Dustin and my favorite female vocalist.... Enjoy!

Hershall, I trust that all is well with thee and thine (KJV sounding phrase). We have some great things in store for you today per usual. We started the show today and I was immediately confronted by our Deacon for a recent blunder that he says I made in the pulpit. He brought me under sharp criticism for changing my stance on a particular passionate topic and you know how we try our best to remain unchanged seeking neither fear nor favor. So I conceded to the Deacon and we moved forward. We had a special guest on the program as well. It was a member of my immediate family and said member was interrogated (big word for questioned) by the co-hosts about various things including but not limited to said person's favorite place of food consumption. (previous sentence sounded very intelligent even law-like) Our friend Og emailed about his recent overseas trip. We introduced some new things today on the show as well. One of which was to raise money for a very specific cause... well, you'll see. We ended with a surprise new segment by the deacon where we had to decipher the difference between Worship lyrics and Love song lyrics. It was very interesting to type the least. We are always thrilled to have you here and hope you enjoy the show!

We discussed the recent trip that our beloved (big word meaning a much loved person) Songleader made across the big water. He tells of the many challenges he faced while traveling abroad. Included were: Praying over food, Shoeless dining and a community chop stick... Also, we had some feedback which included a startling revelation that almost had the boys preferring the use of tobacco products 🚭.... as you know, our church services here at Pod'N Me have been so far 100% smoke free. I was having trouble "breathing easy" for a few minutes until I could get them back on the straight and narrow.... We also talked about sopped feet and Rustin Dustin got a new name! We ended with a serious conversation about the responsibility that lays on the should of the church leadership as well as it's members.... Enjoy & God bless!

Loretta even sounded off and we're thankful that your marriage is still in tact and doing well. We got some great gifts today from none other that Loretta's kindred (big word for relatives). I'm referring to, of course, The Anointed Bass Player and his bride (big word for wife) 👋 Hannah. Everyone in Studio 4 received at least one gift and for that, we are so grateful. Dink was back at the News Desk and we had a couple of items from the Basement Bargains. We learn more of the care routine for Deacon Dustin's dog as well as get an update on the Cottrell Ranch.... The feedback was wonderful as always and we even had a stellar (big word this time for less that wonderful) joke/story... The delivery was flawless at least. We are so glad you checked in and enjoy hearing all that you can stand! God bless!

Hershall, I really don't even know how to describe what went on today.... First Dink was on location shooting down a 🕵️♀️ SPY balloon... yes you read it here first (unless you listened to it first), our news anchor was out in an undisclosed location when he encountered a balloon of some sort-well, you’ll hear. We then had a wonderful time in Studio 4 where we (Deacon Dustin, Songleader Brad, and Your Humble Virtual Pastor) had so much stuff to talk about that I can't even recall what all it was. I started by correcting everyone on how my name is pronounced and then the Deacon followed suit. He and I sang some mighty powerful songs throughout the episode. On one such song, I pronounced the name of the artist wrong.... We had some wonderful feedback and even had an installment of the Basement Bargains. In the end, Deacon Dustin gave a shoutout to a listener and fellow content creator... Were also had a tribute to a favorite singer of the Songleader. 🎶 E-E-E-E-E-E-Enjoy!

Hershall, I'm glad you're here today because we had a very needed conversation. We did have some light hearted banter in the beginning, per usual. I delivered some flawless jokes, Bro. Brad told tale of quail eggs, and Dink Burbank interviewed a "hero of the week" for the first time on Pod'N Me. Then we had a somewhat lengthy, but very important conversation about a subject that is becoming increasingly popular of late. That is a term called "Deconstruction" and we talk about an article that gave 4 reasons why people abandon or "deconstruct' their faith. It is our hope that through this conversation today, if there is someone that is contemplating going down that path, that they will see the bigger picture and hold on to their faith in God and His Son, Christ Jesus.

Birdsong.... (My Endless Love) She answered some V-Day (short word for Valentine's Day) trivia. We also found out 🥁 in the 🥁 course of our conversation 🥁 that she graduated from "the school of tomorrow" (long phrase for ACE). As we moved along, Deacon Dustin had a very touching reading to his special Valentine.... that took a turn, as you might expect. Songleader Brad gave such a wonderful brag on his wife that it bout had the whole farm in an up roar! We ended by giving a few opinions on weddings and all things love, peace, and chicken grease! God bless you and Enjoy!

We had a great time today as we discussed so many useless topics including my new pet termite and a bunch of other rambling substance.... Big News segment today from Dink Burbank... typing of news, the Basement Bargains are back this week. We tried our hands at new accents and finished the program with a speech that just might go down in Pod'N Me history! Our very own Deacon Dustin tells of a recent grocery store trip that upon his return home shows how much he cares in being the bread winner (in providing waffles) for his family. I think in light of Valentine's Day coming up, we get to find out just exactly why this couple was the winning couple of last year's Valentine episode challenge... Enjoy and God bless you all!

Hershall, I am so privileged to be back with the boys this week. It was wonderful to be able to sit in studio 4 and bask in the presence of the Songleader and Deacon. They did a wonderful job in my absence last week. We started by once again bringing all of the new listeners up to speed on what goes on here at Pod'N Me. We also had a live audience which consisted of Bryce and Addyson Birdsong (my twain youngest offspring). We even had Bryce do the intro to the feedback segment live. We checked in with a friend of Pod'N Me, Rev. Donnie King. He's been a guest on the podcast several times and we wanted to talk to him about The Pod King Bible Study, a podcast that he hosts. He told us about some new material that he has been covering on his special edition episodes. He's an outstanding man and a great friend. We also heard the Deacon give an update about his new K-9 (big word for house dog). Little did we know that we would all confess to his inspiring us to get into pet owning... well, you'll see. I think you'll be glad to hear how the animal kingdom is creeping or grazing into one of our lives... Enjoy & God Bless!

Hershall, first things first, we are sorry that there was no episode last week and that is explained at the beginning of this episode. I also want to thank my co-hosts for stepping up to the challenge today of recording in my absence. They did a superb (big word meaning good) job handling the podcast today. We learned several things today including: the Deacon's new dog could be a drug dog, Alabama (the Deacon's favorite Christmas group) is referenced in the scriptures, Songleader Brad had a strong witness for Christ in his school classroom. The church leaders also told us about a few fans that they met over the past few weeks. All of this was followed up by some of their favorite teenage tunes. Dink Burbank was back at his desk and gave a great piece of advice to his last fill-in, Blink Birdsong. Thanks for listening and I hope everyone has a wonderful week!

Hershall, here we are in the second week of the year trying to hand out some hope... that was in the latter portion of the episode. Before that happened, we had the normal stuff such as Feedback with Songleader Brad and some ever relevant commentary from Deacon Dustin. Typing of Dustin, the production room added a new segment this week concerning the Deacon's new K-9. (The typist -big word for typer- is having a difficult time keeping from inserting a wonderful joke about K-9s here)
Also we had a News Imposter named BLINK Burbank... Enjoy and thanks for your time... you will never get this 40 minutes back and you are welcome!

Hershall, Happy New Year! We are so glad to be back in this wonderful year and as every New Year Brings joys and challenges, we look forward to it all the same. The joy sure came to mine and the Songleader's heart as you'll hear today. We had a programming note about our Interview series for 2023 and then moved to some great feedback. We have a new challenge to write a kind of governing document for Pod'N Me and during that portion, the deacon decided to use a word without any of us knowing it's meaning. I'll let you listen to find out how that went but the big word is bequeathed and I looked it up and that's exactly what happened to the Deacon recently. Also during the feedback he opened some fan mail.... I ended with a gift to the guys that revealed some news about what came to Deacon Dustin’s home… was it a coincidence? It was tremendous for sure. Enjoy!

Hershall, Thanks for staying with us for the duration of the year! We really are grateful for you and all of your friends that listen to Pod'N Me.
Today's show is a contribution in large part by our listeners. A few weeks ago, we put out a question on Instagram asking for their Favorite Moments on Pod'N Me this year. We asked for help from our very own Dink Burbank (big words for Rev. Josh Smith) and he did a stellar (impressive sounding word) job as he seamlessly wove a path through these Moments of Ministry... (alliteration inspired by Dink)
We also want to give a special thanks to a fan of Pod'N Me, Rev. Jamie Cagg, for graciously allowing us to feature one of his songs in the final moments today! We featured one of his songs on an episode earlier this year. His music is on all streaming platforms as well as for purchase at jamiecaggmusic.com.
God bless you all and have a Blessed and Happy New Year!

Hershall, tis 4 days until Christmas and we are absolutely (sure sounding word) thrilled that you have been with us again today. We had a wonderful time having you in Studio 4 and, well, you know how we feel about you being on the podcast... You also know how bad things got off the rails but I say (or type) this for the sake of all who are out there in the Podience... We had a feedbacker send some words that caused our minds to trail off to a fictitious (fake sounding word) girl named Piph-nee. That was called back to many times over. We also review some reverse premises of Christmas songs in a phone call to Dink Burbank. Finally we had a very strong finish with the final installment of the year from Hersh & The Chips (a very popular sing group that debuted here a few weeks back). It is nearly an hour of raw fun that we had and we are so thankful for all who listing to these "Little Dumber Boys." God bless & Have a Very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We even had a guest appearances by some very special professional singing groups. The first set of professionals we hear from is, of course, the professionals you hear every week on Pod'N Me plus Hershall. Then we featured a NEW Christmas song by The McCoy Family and if you'd like to contact them to purchase any of their music you may do so via email at themccoyfamilymusic@gmail.com. They have recently recorded a Christmas album and wrote the song that we featured on the show today. It was a joy to talk to them. the final professionals that we hear from is Hershall & The Chips... you won't be disappointed.... God bless!

We start with the beautiful high voices singing a wonderful carol. Also, we hear that Songleader Brad is up for hire as a very popular trendy tradition.... Deacon Dustin brings some hard hitting Christmas trivia. We wrapped the day up in a fierce "Name that Tune" battle between you humble Poderator and the Deacon... T'was a great start to December!

Hershall, today I had a very needful conversation with a pastor friend of mine, Rev. Doug Hash. He is a grief counselor and he shares with us some very practical things that help us in dealing with grief. There are over 40 different kinds of losses that a person can experience that can cause grief. Rev. Hash gives us an overview of the points that he uses in The Grief Recovery Program to assist people that are working through the grieving process. This may not be a conversation that you feel would apply, but I encourage everyone to listen because it's not just advise for the one grieving but there are some very helpful tips for those trying to help a person in the grief journey. Rev. Hash also debunks some myths that are believed about grief. I appreciate his ministry and feel that our conversion is so timely!
If you’d like to contact Pastor Hash, you may do so via email at doug.hash84@gmail.com or go to https://www.doughash.com/ for information on the Grief Recovery Program.
God bless!

Hershall, on this final day of November, I approach this episode with shamefacedness (KJV big word meaning ashamed). As our title suggests, there was wardrobe malfunctions mentioned on today's episode. It was included in the feedback portion and as you will find, it was NEWS to us then and only then.... We also talked about how the Songleader and your Humble Poderator made unusual allowances in our homes. Among other topics discussed were: coyote consumption and horse briskets. In the Basement Bargains, Sis. Connie tells of her disastrous Thanksgiving Dinner... Enjoy!

On todays show, we discussed so much stuff that I can't even recall what all was said. Dink Burbank started us off today and things went downhill from there. We talked about Ostrich ugliness, Brad being a cat... well... he was accused of being a cat lover after his personal testimony. We had a friend of Pod'N Me give us a real Apple review which we were proud to read. We are now "the honey crisps of podcasts." I could go on and on but I know your are dithering (big word for anxiously awaiting) to listen. So, here goes nothing! God Bless!

Hersh, we are so glad you are tuning in to Pod'N Me still... You being a long time listener of the show, will not be disconcerted (big word for perturbed) at what goes on today. We started by having our very own Rev. Josh Smith to tell about a painful (big word for harrowing) tale (*or tail) of a recent hunting excursion in the state of Georgia. Deacon Dustin recounted a story of a piece of our past where we explored the idea of what R.I.P. looks like for each of us. We also had some very good comments in the feedback section where Songleader Brad spake of sun-dry pets. Ending our part of the discussion today by talking about muted beaks and selfie etiquette...

We also had some wonderful conversation on the rest of the episode with the Deacon and Songleade. Brad pulled over someone in his grammar police car and we heard that this is now a 25 star ⭐️ podcast! We also discuss the fact that buzz word Christianity doesn't work. Thanks for listening!

We had some mostly underwhelming things happen today on Pod'N Me, but as the title states, our very own Mr. Burbank is out on location getting some hard hitting news and had a complete breakdown ON AIR! We have some great topics today along the way that include: Biblical pronunciations, Bro. Dustin's illegal turnarounds, Ramen noodle endorsed by us, debating Randy's voice... We had some voice-over tryouts too. Lets just say Sis. Connie from Basement Bargains better look out! We talked about some serious stuff as well while recapping the recent camping trip that we three enjoyed... Thanks for listening!!

It is a glimpse (big word for look) of what it's like to put together the Basement Bargains with Elder Ronnie (yours truly) and Sis. Connie (Josh Smith). Rev. Josh also does the voice of Pastor Throgmartin on this episode... Enjoy! I hope you have a wonderful November!

Typing of guests, I along with my cohorts (big word for band of companions), Bro. Dustin and Bro. Brad, was privileged to be sitting in the guest seats on the show... You read it correctly, we were the guests on Sis. Odie's show today. This episode is a bit lengthy but it is not going to disappoint. I mean after all, our Superfan doesn't get to be here very often... We also had Dink on location again as well as heard from the Basement Bargains crew. It was an absolute delight to have Sis. Andrea (Odie) Boggs once again on Pod'N Me. God bless & enjoy!

Hershall, this is the longest episode yet of Pod'N Me but, I think you will completely understand why... given the fact that we upgraded the sound equipment in Studio 4. I do think that a parental warning is advised on one particular portion of the program when, as the title so amply (big word for plentifully) describes, a childhood story is told by our very own Dink Burbank, there is a SCARY voice that is used. It is at the 24 minute mark... you've been warned. I just casually mentioned the fact that Dink Burbank is here IN STUDIO like that's not big news (see what I did there). He was a joy to have on the podcast. We also revealed the identity of a popular Basement Bargains personality. Thanks for listening!

Folks, (started off with a Dink Burbank salutation) I'm glad you're here today and if you see Hershall, give him a big word of encouragement! He listens every week and deserves a big 'Thank You' for his contribution, for without him, Pod'N Me would just be 3 guys sitting in a room talking into microphones (big word for mics) and recording their conversations which aren't really worth listening to in. the first place. Case in point: today we started with an unusual intro and immediately began to discuss buffets (as in eating and not in boxing moves). It didn't take long for Songleader Brad and I to offend, in a ginormous (big word) way, Deacon Dustin. He took offense over our stance on Mac and Cheese... we moved from some riveting discussion on buffets to an extremely offensive title that one of our feedbackers gave me (hint: potty raider). Also we had some talk of dyslexia (also offensive to me) when Eca Vurtueson was brought in to the conversation... we finished the episode strong when I threw the proverbial net out and drew in my cohorts by taking them on a proverbial wild goose chase about Wives Fables.... Thanks for listening!

What elation (big word for joy) it was to have you in the virtual service today, Hershall. We are always grateful to hear your voice and to hear that you are doing well. You did an outstanding job reading the feedback and gave our Songleader a rest for this week in that particular category. We talked about a plethora (big word meaning a lot) of diverse (big word) topics here including: Count- airy music, calculator deaths and the accuracy of the eyesight of a female deer.... I know that all of those topics don't seem like they could be talked about in a span of 40 some odd (old timer's phrase) minutes, but we sure accomplished it. We also heard from Dink Burbank and Basement Bargains today... We appreciate the feedback and if any of your friends would like to send some to be read and reacted to on air, they may do so by sending and email to devin@podnme.org.

Hershall, It was one of my great honors today to get to interview this brother and sister team. Bro. Richard and Sis. Sandy Blythe of The Blythe Family have been traveling and singing with their family for many years. They both have a vital role in the ministry through their singing and songwriting. We first talked today about how their methods of ministry took a turn a couple of years ago when the world changed. They found a new way to connect with people and were a great encouragement to so many. Bro. Richard helped their family by doing the video and audio production work for their ministry during the world shutdown. We also discussed a few stories of how God used their songs to minister to people facing some challenging times. They are both very talented and use their abilities for the glory of God.

Hersh, What a start! I mean to this episode... Our news correspondent went to London... I said it, Dink Burbank went to LONDON! Hershall, I hope you are still a listener at this point. We have many times over on this virtual trash pile, had wrecks and today was no exception (big word). We moved through the hard hitting topics today. During the feedback we were reprimanded (big word for corrected with words) for not filtering out feedback from a previous episode, as well as for our previous offenses toward the organization that educated our fearless Deacon. Feel free to listen all the way to after church today because we stayed and talked afterward. I can't even explain what happened in the feedback when Limericks were brought up. We also talked about Kilt wearing... Just forgive us in advance.
Hershall, We had a few things to take care of prior (big word for just before) we arrived at our subject matter. As usual, we managed to cover several topics on throughout the feedback portion of the episode. After Dink Burbank brought us the news, we settled in on a topic that we haven't covered on Pod'N Me. We have incorporated many different things about songs and music but never have we told about songs that bring conviction. Hopefully, we can continue this conversation in a future episode but we all three could have used a good altar call at the end of the episode today...

Hershall, I did my level best to straighten out the employees (unpaid) of Pod'N Me (big word meaning junk pile). It was to little avail (big word meaning work). We did manage to have some very hard topics brought up in the course of conversation. Among those were: the pronunciation of tortillas, a bit of Spanish from the Deacon, a harrowing (a big word with meaning unknown to the editor) tale of a poor vacuum cleaner sales person. We also talked some very current events and learned one of the signs that a new pope has been elected.... Dink brought the news and we crashed this plane with a "Name that Tune" segment.

Hershall, this is once again a historic (big word meaning horrific) day for Pod'N Me. As you very well know, this program has been built on the reliability and consistency of the perfect attendance of me, the virtual pastor. I am freely admitting my fallibility (big word meaning tendency to make a mistake). I was not able to attend the service here today and we have on our hands a situation where the inmates are running the prison so to speak. Our virtual Songleader Brad and our beloved virtual Deacon Dustin came to the church service because as they say... the show must go on. Hersh, I don't want to alarm you but it seems that they decided to talk about all the things that they knew would not be to my preference, had I been in attendance. After reviewing their work, I decided to let it stand on it's own merits. So proceed with caution. Among the subjects discussed was: politics, sports, conspiracy theories, education, vaccines.... etc.
All jokes aside, I feel that they did a great job in my absence. If you'd like to send some feedback, you may contact us at devin@podnme.org and support the show with the purchase of some merchandise at podnme.org!
Hersh, we did something different than we've ever done... we recorded in two locations. When our guest and I sat down to record at another location (Gilbertown, AL), we had some technical issues and couldn't finish the episode. So, we recorded the intro and the final part in studio 4 with our virtual Songleader and Virtual Deacon being present... well, you'll see.
There have been a few times over the history of this podcast that I could feel the presence of the Lord during the recording process. Today was definitely one of those days. We have on Pod'N Me Rev. Scott Sumner of Christ Cares Ministries. His family has been missionaries for many years to the country of Honduras. You can hear the true passion in his voice as he shares some very special experiences that have taken place in their ministry. The greatest take away for me was when Rev. Sumner shared how one particular verse in the Word of God has ministered to their family for many years. That verse is Isaiah 41:10.

Hershall, we could be embarking (big word sounding like a contemplative dog, but meaning about to start) on one of the most random and possibly the most detrimental (big word meaning hazardous and harmful) episodes ever on Pod'N Me. Things got so out of hand by the end of the episode that our very own beloved Deacon Dustin actually walked off the set. (Programming Note: The Pod'N Me Corporation is in negotiations -big word but who's counting- with him to see if he'll consider staying on with the Songleader and the disciple whom everybody loves, should the decide to lay low on their constant barrage of attacks on his educational upbringing) We move quickly thru a wide range of relevant topics such as: Rat Tails, Mullets, Beryl Belts, Shetland Ponies, and the ilk (little word meaning like but with fewer letters).
We also had a wonderful News Segment from Dink Burbank as well as some valuable items for sale from the Church Basement Bargains. This episode is NOT sponsored by Tams88keys nor her Kurtzweil Piano.

Hershall, as you know, because we talked to you on this episode, our fearless, Songleader is back! (👏) We are so glad that the myth was debunked (big work meaning un-bunked) that Bro. Brad had to be rehabilitated (big word meaning restored to a former state) because of his song choices... it was just a vacation that caused his absence. We had a great visit with you, Hersh. It had been a while since we had heard from you. Also, our Songleader came in strong at the end of one of my most requested segments and added on some very good humor. We closed the virtual service by putting to rest some of the personifications (the figure intended to represent an abstract quality) of ourselves on this podcast... Alter-egos, if you will. (and I think you will) we moved from there and had some serious conversation about Altar-egos.

Hershall, today we had to do what we are calling a Friend-tervention (big compound word meaning to intervene for a close companion). I'll let the episode speak for itself but we had an absence that couldn't be filled but it's not a permanent (big word meaning fixed in stone) thing. We had the normal feedback and all around wonderful commentary that you've come to expect here on Pod'N Me. Should you desire to be a part of the feedback, feel free to correspond with us via email: devin@podnme.org and visit our website to see all kinds of amazing things such as merchandise at podnme.org.

Hershall, grab your thermos (big word for insulated cup), fill it with your drink of choice (non-intoxicating) and bask (bid word meaning revel in) in the words of our listeners. Bro. Brad, our fearless song leader deserves a metal for what happened on Pod'N Me today. While reading feedback he, was tasked with reading the longest joke ever broadcasted here on Pod'N Me. We even felt like Pink Burbank had written. We had the normal well respected and well expected portions of the program including: Dink's News Desk, Basement Bargains, and I even got a fairly solid joke in about a portion of our title today. Something happened in the bargain segment that caused another call at the end so stay tuned.

Hershall, for the second week running we had a guest in the studio. As I said last week, we have my second son, Brooks S. Birdsong on Pod'N Me. We settled some HUGE (big word) topics: Extra Cri-Crisp-Christy Fries, Hamburgers, hip mounted sunglass cases, cellphone cases & Bluetooth devices... It was a roller coaster of emotions as I experienced several times where I had to grapple (big word meaning struggle without weapons) with the idea of ending this trash heap of a podcast. In the end, I think my two eldest son came the closest to ending it for me... We did survive and plan to continue. I hope you can hang on til the end of the episode where we have another music debate... Enjoy and connect with us at podnme.org (if you'd like). God bless!
P.S. I am very proud to have had Britton and Brooks join us these two weeks!
Hershall, today we had two very special guests on Pod'N Me. It's always an honor to hear the perspective of the ministry from a preacher's kid. This time one of those was your very own daughter Bryanna and her close friend Alivya Isaacs. Alivya's father was a guest on this podcast back in January on episode 86. Both ladies offers their idea of what the perfect evangelist would be and all along the way they gave some harrowing tales of their many experiences as PK's. We also found out that Alivya has some close friends that are fans of Pod'N Me. To sum (little word meaning give a brief summary) it all up, Bryanna made a statement that became a favorite quote... "Your arm is not an involuntary muscle!"
If you'd like to leave us some feedback, email me at devin@podnme.org. God bless!
Hershall, We did it again... we had a repeat guest and he did great.... Great Britton is whom I type of! I talked my two eldest offspring (big word meaning children) into being guests on Pod'N Me. The first one is my first born, Britton D. Birdsong. He is a fine young man of who I am very proud. We had all of the regular segments of the podcast today such as Dink Burbank's News, feedback, and some jokes. We did a segment where Britton & Songleader Brad shared some of their favorite songs. (Hint: the Deacon and I tried some intervention work to no avail) We ended strong with a Would You Druther segment. Thanks for stopping and we'll be back next week with my second eldest son/child. If you'd like to contact us or support the program, go to podnme.org and connect with us there!
Heshall, today it happened... one our feed-backers finally gave this show the description that says it best... hence (big word meaning consequently) the title: "Dearest Men of This Thing." I think that pretty much sums up Pod'N Me. Along the way we manage to have some other important things to talk about such as: hymnals and hernals, lint brushes and curry combs, amongst (bigger word than the root word among) other riveting topics. Our news anchor Dink Burbank delivered his news flawlessly (big word meaning without a flaw) and we also had another installment of Basement Bargains which included a testimony from Sis. Bonn... I mean, Sis. Connie. The News Desk was sponsored this week by podnme.org which is where you can find all things Pod'N Me. If you'd like to support what we're doing here, feel free to purchase some merchandise from website. It's always great to hear from our listening audience, send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org. God Bless & Enjoy!
Hershall, you'll have to cut us some slack today, we were tired.... That doesn't mean that we didn't do our very best or that you were short-changed (compound word meaning treated unfairly) in any way. We still were somehow able to fulfill our great obligation to the friends and/or foes of Pod'N Me. I way say (or type) that we did change the format quite a bit by starting out with a song and going directly into the message so to speak (or type). It got serious while we talked about the simplicity of praying for forgiveness. We then moved to some feedback and heard from our very own Dink Burbank over that the Pod'N Me News desk. We continued from there with more feedback, and another installment of Church Basement Bargains and I ended with one of the saddest stories that involved little children falling, lawn mowers, and a large example of gluttony... well, stay tuned til the end. If you'd like to be a part of the feedback segment, send us an email to devin@podnme.org. If you want to support what we are doing via merchandise, find it at podnme.org!
Hello Hershall, we had a wonderful time today talking all things youth-camp (two words meaning work). We checked in, via the telephonic (big sounding word) device, with a long time friend and one time fill-in of Pod'N Me, youth pastor Matthew Wilson. We talked about how much he would like to be a star... I mean part of the show and also managed to discuss some youth camp stuff. We heard from the news desk of anchor Dink Burbank. He has been a popular addition to Pod'N Me. We talked seamlessly about many other things in the feedback segment. In a wonderful touch, we added a "swap shop" style segment call "Church Basement Bargains." I think Loretta would love to have some items on the program. We ended the episode today by discussing how that in the Lord's work things are less about an individual person and more about God's good people that He loves.... Enjoy and check out podnme.org where you'll find merchandise to support the show as well as information about us and a link to contact us!
Hershall, This is a little bit of where we've been and where we're going. I wanted to share a message from my heart. I am grateful to all who listen to us on a regular basis.... Just listen I said plenty today!
Hershall, Thanks for stopping in again to listen to the program. We went off of the rails a time or two but managed as we try to get back on track. We had the normal stuff you've come to expect from Pod'N Me along with some "not so normal" inclusions (big sounding word that means 'things included'). I’m referring to the Deacon and I gave the entire globe a mostly accurate reenactment (big word that I won't even act like I know) of what it's like to preach with an interpreter. It was a totally unplanned portion and the Deacon Dustin delivered in a strong manner. Our news desk has some news again this week and we appreciate Dink Burbank for his contribution to the program. We started by talking about unruly and teethin' offspring (big word meaning posterity). Thanks for listening and find us at podnme.org for contact information as well as merchandise to support Pod'N Me. God bless!
Hershall, Thanks for bringing us into the program today. It's always good to hear from you and thanks as well for notifying (big word for telling) Loretta that we are on air. After we talked to you, we had some feedback as per (little big word meaning in accordance with) usual. During the feedback we introduced the newest segment of Pod'N Me. Hersh, we are now in the news business. Hold on to your proverbial hat (only if you don't wear a real hat), we have a real news anchor that covers actual news stories and writes commentary about it. His name is Dink Burbank with Pod'N Me News. Let us know what you think.... That won't likely have a great affect on his position but you can still let us know. We'd like to be a one stop shop so to speak. We finished the episode with a very delicate but needful discussion that was spurred by an email from a listener. Send us feedback to devin@podnme.org if you'd like to be a part of the program. Find us on Instagram @podn_me or go to podnme.org for all your podcast merchandise!
Hersh, Hang on to your proverbial hat (only proverbial providing that you're not currently donning headwear)! We have quite a service in store today. It got a tad interminable (big word for lengthy) but I feel that you won't be disappointed. That is, unless you are like an apple review that we reacted to here today. Someone left a hateful review and we hit it head on! To start off, we called a leading evangelist, Rev. Joshua Smith to discuss a recent event that took place in his life and in turn happened in my life as well... just listen, you'll hear. (oddly simplistic but true statement) We also had several descriptive comparisons of what this podcast is like. (None were flattering) We ended with the ever popular "name that lyric" battle between Songleader Brad and his twin Saxophone Brett. Send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org. Find us on Instagram @podn_me or check out our website at podnme.org where you can support the show by the purchase of some merchandise! God bless!
Hershall, what a privilege it was to have you and your dad, Rev. Don Ingram on the final day of campmeeting. It has been a great year already and this is the icing on the cake. Rev. Ingram was on edge because he was afraid of what we might pull in Studio 4 but we were nice (mostly). As the interviewed, I had done some extensive research on my guest and used some info he wasn't expecting. Bro. Ingram told us of missionary trips he has taken and the close friendship with a theologian of sorts. He ended by telling us about the importance of promoting unity in the church. I'm so glad that he agreed (reluctantly) to come on Pod’N Me. For the record, after recording the episode, he said we were nice to him and much better than he was expecting. Hershall and I have a history of giving Bro. Ingram a tough way to go! God bless!
Hershall, the second day of Pod'N Campmeeting will not disappoint. We had a good friend (and cousin of mine) on the podcast today. His name is Rev. Nathan Wood. He tells us about a big part of what his dad's ministry was and did an outstanding job honoring the memory of one of the greatest men of our time, Rev. Larry Wood. Just over a year ago the Bro. Larry passed away and today we discussed what God did through him to help the family of God. Bro. Nathan also tells some humorous happenings over the years from his perspective being raised around camp meetings and revival meetings. It is absolutely amazing the lengths that God will go to to get His message out. We wrapped up our time with Rev. Nathan as he tells us what he feels is the three most important passages in the Word of God. It is very thought provoking and I hope it ignites a passion in someone to get the message of Christ's redeeming love to someone!
Hersh, It's that time of year again and I think we saw your 5th Wheel when you came pulling on the campground. This is our 3rd annual Pod’N Me Campmeeting that got cancelled the very first year and now we're gathered again for good ole fashion camp. We have a young evangelist, Rev. Chad Everett, here for youth service and I must (a mandatory sounding word) say, he did great. We started with the Deacon and Songleader talking about all of the nice virtual RVs and almost got side-tracked. (Imagine that) Our West Virginia evangelist gave us some great ideas for the optimal evangelist quarters. We then turned the service to him and he had some great advice for the youth to seek God while they are young and even used the Bible to prove his point! Enjoy the episode and come back tomorrow for day two of Campmeeting Pod'N Me style!
Hershall, first, my in-depth apologies for the Songleader totally discounting the fact that you are counted among the staff here at the Church of Pod'N Me... a feedbacker gave homage (big word meaning special honor) to the fact that you are a 1/4 of a point of this church cast and you were overlooked by Bro. Brad, but that's at the end of the episode so you can bask (big word meaning make the most of) in the enjoyment until then. The Deacon outdid himself in bringing an entirely new segment to the podcast this week a lil (small word) thing we called "Would You Druther?" We hope not to run off our already devoted 10s of listeners with what followed. We moved the feedback to the latter portion of the service but it was still a worthy portion not to be skipped... God bless and send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org or go to podnme.org to support the show with the purchase of some merchandise if you'd like!
Hershall, we had another less than high expectationed episode today, but we did have some very special moments on the church cast here. None of the least of which was, thanks to you we played a song from a link that you sent me several weeks ago. it was a song from The McCoy Family on YouTube. one of their members who has sent some feedback (Sis. Babbling Brooke) so graciously agreed to let us use their content today and that led us into talking about some of our favorite hymn lyrics. We ended the episode with a twist on our Name that Tune segment. The Deacon play some hymns by some of the artists that he used to listen to while in the 400 sin-filled silent years and the Songleader and I had to guess the artists. (a set-up to see who amongst us was the most spiritual) When it comes to this game though, we pull out all stops to win and I hate to ruin the results of who won here, so let's suffice (big word alert) it to say, I rode many miles with Deacon Dustin in my youth.... Send us some feedback if you'd like and follow us on Instagram @podn_me and check out our website podnme.org where you can find out more about us and support our show by purchasing merchandise. God Bless!
Hershall, as you well remember, last week, the Deacon had yet another group of people that he went after.... Those that use brute creation (two words that describe the lower for of life than humans) as abutment (colossal word meaning support) for their emotions.
*the editing room is proud of our editor for using a big word for big in the previous parenthetical descriptions
So, we decided to lead off the episode with an intervention... to no avail (big word meaning working ability)
After some feedback sent to devin@podnme.org, we ended the episode with a quite convicting subject of looking at things from God's perspective....
Follow us on Instagram @podn_me or go to podnme.org to support the show. God bless!
Hershall, you were once again a delight to have in Studio 4, along with all of the studio audience. (largest ever which included Hershall's entire family: Loretta & the Sunshine Girls, The Everett Evangelistic Team, The Production Room Voice-over Specialists, Bryce and Addyson) As often happens here on Pod'N Me, we experienced things that we shan't (big word for shall not) forget. Warning ⚠️ the un-named leader of the outrage mob, showed up in full force. We hope you won't put off listening to the entire episode because we had some serious conversation in the end. The feedback spurred the conversation about inside pets and things went all directions from there. Speaking of feedback, you can send us some to devin@podnme.org... Speaking of podnme.org, that is the location to find out more about us and buy merchandise to support this terrible habit.... God bless!
Hershall, first off, it was great to have you in studio 4 today. We had a regular ole' large time, but I'll have to say, I was challenged (big word meaning hard pressed) to find a title for what this episode was all about. We had many things going on in the studio, as well as, many things outside the studio causing distractions... namely: weather alerts every few minutes on our phones telling us to take immediate cover due to the impending danger in the sky. We did take several breaks (which I edited out) but still managed to finish the episode. We did have some great news to which the title was referring to...
Bro. Donnie King came on via a phone call to tell us about being accepted on Apple Podcasts.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-king-bible-study/id1621737767
Also, we aired a portion of a recent interview with the men from Crossroads of Culture and Christianity Podcast, Bro. Jacob Jellison and Bro. Aaron Hough.
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crossroads-of-culture-and-christianity/id1604185448
We also had wonderful studio audience which was not mentioned enough on this episode. If you would like to be a part of the feedback segment of this show, email us at devin@podnme.org. Also, go check out our website and merch store at podnme.org. God Bless & Enjoy!
Hershall, today we had an interview with the (in my humble opinion) greatest mother of them all, Sis. Cynthia Grace Birdsong (aka Cyndi Birdsong). We (Deacon Dustin, Songleader Brad and your Humble Virtual Pastor) first paid homage (big word meaning special honor) to all of our mothers by bragging on the worst/best dishes they prepared for us in our respective childhoods. During that portion of the program, I gave the audience a glimpse of where my humility began. (Hint: it has to do with a household chore of setting the table) Also, I divulged (big word) that I have been in the number of the redeemed that say “sew” so to speak. We talked about my mother’s transition to preacher’s wife from builder’s wife. She shared many valuable things including great instructions to “be yourself.”
We finished by playing a popular Name That Lyric game… contest between me, the Deacon and Mother Dearest. Stay “tuned” til the very end to get the results…. (Post-program very end) We had many laughs and a few tears today. God bless all the mothers of the world! Enjoy!
Hershall, Thanks for stopping by today because it is an absolute historic (big word meaning famous or important in history or potentially so) day here on Pod'N Me. We signed a contract with Og the Caveman to do some work for us in our email segment. He has corresponded (big word meaning emailed) with us on a couple of occasions and we alluded (big word meaning suggested) on a previous episode that we may need to hire him for the feedback segment to quell (outstanding big word meaning put an end to) the emails, should they get too lengthy. So, he's officially on staff. I even signed the contract on air. (side note- folks will have the privilege to hear the exact sound that my pen makes while signing my actual name... IN CURSIVE)
We also gave a merch update (hint: we still have some available for purchase at podnme.org) as well as ended with talking about an important subject concerning anti-microbial (a word that Brad actually guesses the meaning of on air and gets the Deacon frustrated about) wipes. We crashed the plane while the Deacon was provoking the Songleader.... Enjoy and send us some feedback to be included in an upcoming episode to devin@podnme.org.
Hershall, we are glad to bring you another episode of this virtual train wreck. We had quite a day here at Pod'N Me. We talked about many various things as always. Those things included but were not limited to Taylor Guitars (not a sponsor), the anatomy of a boot, double tongued deacons.... I can't quite describe the episode, so give it a listen. We ended today with the ever popular segment, Name that Lyric, formally Name that Tune. The Deacon Dustin ran the lyric recitation (big word for recite which is also a fairly big word that means to repeat aloud) and got me and the Songleader in a proverbial quagmire (huge word meaning an awkward, complex, or hazardous situation). Hint: I lost... Well, we might could say, you all lost... and I just did! Anyhow, thanks for listening and send feedback if you so choose to devin@podnme.org and you can also take a look at our website podnme.org where you can now buy some underwhelming merchandise to support this ridiculous show... Enjoy and My God Bless you!
Hershall, once again today we take a closer look at what our Lord fulfilled in His death, burial, and resurrection. Bro. Donnie King takes us through the story and stops to give us the significance of his burial. We talk about the reason why Christ could not have rose until Easter Sunday! I hope you enjoy the episode today and it is my sincere prayer that God will strengthen the faith of every believer. God bless!
Hershall, Today and tomorrow I am sitting down with a friend and fellow podcaster to discuss some of the lesser talked about details of the crucifixion of Christ Jesus our Lord! Bro. King is the host of the Pod King Bible Study podcast and I he's been a guest on Pod'N Me in the past. Today we covered the first seven of fourteen things that may not be talked about very much concerning the price that was paid for our redemption. I hope that every Christian will take this time to reflect with us and draw closer to Jesus! God bless you and bind us all to the faith of our Savior!
Hersh, if the title of this episode doesn't confuse you, then you surely will be confounded (big word for confuse) by what happens here today. We started off by helping Trey sing using our mouths as a fife (big word that you need to look up for yourself, I do enough work here) as it were. From there, things went totally of the proverbial rails. I told a touching "story" about a friend named Ignatious and his wife Agnus. Deacon Dustin summed up my story as a "frown show." #hurtful
We also discussed not in this order: powdered wigs, Patricia's on the back, Helmets while riding on the half-pipe.... Deacon Dustin also made an under-vague John Wayne reference. No surprise here, seeing that he lives somewhere between Jesus and John Wayne. (That is also the portion of the show that Songleader Brad mispronounced "Pilgrim" as "Pilgrin."
Speaking (or Typing) of order.... you can now order some highly valued Pod'N Me merchandise (long for merch) from podnme.org and if you order soon, you could get some items that are signed by US! (likely to drop the value of the product) You can also sen feedback to devin@podnme.org. Thanks for listening!
Hershall, today I set down with a mutual friend of ours, Rev. Dwain Galiher. His ministry has been a strong influence in my life over the years. We talked about his start in the ministry. He has been many years now pastoring in southern Missouri. We finished our visit with a great Bible doctrine that deals with God’s great desire for all of us as His children to be completely separated unto God. I certainly enjoyed getting to sit down with Pastor Galiher today. We always love to hear from our listeners and you can send us some feed At devin@podnme.org or connect with us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless!
Hershall, how are you? No answer? Turn your microphone on... Well, I guess until Hersh and the sound guys get his mic back on we'll talk about what happened on this episode. We had the normal, run of the mill, program today (string of words that take up space and don't accurately describe Pod'N Me). Hershall knows we don't have normal ANYTHING around here. There was some good feedback and we had a time talking about Christian colloquialisms (biggest word on this description and likely used out of context). We ended with some serious content and boy did it get serious. We thank you for stopping in and you can visit our new website podnme.org and find all sorts of intriguing stuff. Send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org.
Hershall, we did it!! This underwhelming podcast made it to episode 100!!! (cheers, applause(s), jumping, leaping, running... etc.) This is the longest episode ever! (Instagram lingo alert) (also true for this podcast)
We had a wonderful time we had today reminiscing (big word meaning to indulge in enjoyable recollections of past events) the episodes of yester-months. We made a call to Trey the singer, thanking him again for his weekly contribution to Pod'N Me. We also had some current feedback in which we discovered a few things:
a.) William Nye the Email guy wrote in for Biblical clarification
b.) We had a subtitled review
c.) The Deacon sang a Christmas song on demand.
d.) This is a Living Podcast
e.) We were over-ran by a country music lover to the extent that the Deacon had to distance himself.
In the end we heard a wonderful testimony of one of our guests in November (Rev. David Brock) going to great lengths to get a couple of pics of the Deacon's favorite "Christmas" singers....
Enjoy and send feedback to devin@podnme.org. Also you can check out our website and store to hear our story and purchase merch.... if you'd like of course. The web address is podnme.org.
Hershall, I really don't know how to describe this episode today, but I'm quite sure it is one that you won't want to miss. We started by giving a HUGE shout-out to some friends we've met through the podcast industry. we even played an excerpt from some of their feedback on one of their episodes. As far as podcasters go, these Two guys are like Peas on a Pod, if you will. (and I know you will) We also had the normal feedback on the program today. After a torrent (big word meaning spate) of randomness we decided that Pod'N Me could be the Junk Drawer or "Catch All" if you will (and once again I know you will) of podcasts. We moved to a highly relevant subject of prepping (big word meaning to prepare) and found out that our very own Songleader Brad is a self-unsubscribed prep-er. As we finished the program Deacon Dustin brought his much needed Bible insight to the origin of a much talked about subject in the podcast, though he had to stretch to get the spelling to match up.... Hepher is the name. Just listen and see if you can follow along. If you'd like to contact us, send us some feedback to devin@podnme.org or follow us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
Hershall, we as an organization felt it needful (regular word meaning necessary) to make amends for the great offense made in December to our friends going to foreign fields to fulfill the Great Commission (see Matthew 28). So, we had a real live missionary on air. I don't want to ruin is reputation here by giving the name on his passport but suffice (big word meaning let it be sufficient) it to say, he may have been the first to bring Snow to the country of Panama.
After settling that pressing (word meaning exigent) issue, I gave a shout out to the producer of the YouTube show called Rightly Dividing. We had another issue brought up in the feedback segment wanting our opinion on how we roll... We may not eat Sesame seeds on our favorite hamburgers but we did find out that the Street made it's debut on the cast today. A CAVE MAN wrote in today... big things happen here. We finished up with a very interesting twist to our extremely under-popular "Name that Tune" segment. Send us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org or follow us on Instagram @pod_me.
Hershall, a few weeks ago, as you will remember, I, your humble poderator, almost, as it were, walked out of the studio here, in central Oklahoma, at Pod'N Me. (the previous sentence may have had the most commas of any ever writ) But today, our Songleader Brad came under such severe (big word meaning austere) scrutiny (big word meaning to analyze) that he contemplated (big word meaning thought about) offering his resignation (big word meaning quit papers) on air (big word meaning during live broadcast time). Thankfully for us and you all, the Deacon Dustin and I came to his rescue and bolstered (big word meaning aided) his confidence to stay on... We also had a healthy dose of feedback today. We finished our our talk today about some instruments that we have never heard played in church as well as heard from the Deacon's description of "the wind" section in an orchestra.... suffice it to say, we had to educate him on the matter. Typing of instruments, our Deacon has a new missionary instrument on today's episode... Enjoy!
Hershall, today we had a man on Pod'N Me to talk about actual church bus ministry. Now, I know that on a few occasions we have called this podcast a church bus but in reality, it never has been. Pastor Brimm is a friend of mine that I have talked to from time to time (I even referred to him as a best friend on past episodes) and I have profound respect for his passion in the ministry. We have talked about many different aspects of the ministry on here and today we got to hear some stories and advice on having a bus ministry in the local church. We also hear a song that was written by his wife, Sis. Ruth, and was inspired by bus ministry in a church that he pastored. Pastor Brimm tells us how their buses operate to get the gospel out on a weekly basis. It was an honor to hear his from prospective. God Bless! If you would like to access more of their family's music you can find The Brimm's on most all streaming platforms. Enjoy!
Hershall, today we have a mutual friend of mine and yours on the show. He's a long time friend with a wonderful testimony. He tells us about his personal quest for truth and how Jesus took him, a troubled young man from the west coast, to the state of Ohio to come in contact with someone who would tell him the Truth! His name is Jason and he even tells a fun fact about a guy named Harry Truman (not the president). In the end, I think we all need to be truth seekers! Send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org. follow us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless & Enjoy!
Hershall, what an (h)onour it was to have you in Studio 9 again this week. In this episode, we had some very revealing things, as often happens behind the plastic mics. Among these, are things like how we pronounce a certain popular candy, multi-colored grandmothers, we even hear you, Hershall, bark! All things that are necessary for the furtherance of the trash-cast. We also had some more feedback on the (endless) feedback on Suits with Buits (new big word invented just now by me meaning boots). I can't really think of anything else that needs to be mentioned in this particular description of the episode.... C'mon folks, I do this tireless job every week. It's a cross I bear for you all after all!
Thanks to all who listen and we love to hear your feedback. You can send us more if you'd like to devin@podnme.org.... once again... well, surely by now you know. Follow us on Instagram where we share some behind the scenes stuff and various other material of high importance.
Thanks,
Upper-Management of Pod'N Me
Herhall, This is a HISTORICAL day here on Pod'N Me. I want to start by thanking you and Loretta for making the journey to come to the vast office complex of Pod'N Me and host the episode being broadcasted from Studio 9 today. The wonderful treat we have is all of the wives of the Pod-crew are here and excited to be here for this once in a lifetime episode. You and Loretta sure knew how to ask some hard hitting questions that left us spell bound and allow our (other) listeners to find out more about our exciting lives. The theme was about our respective love stories... There was some things revealed about us all today such as one in the group has a monumental (big word meaning big) fear of praying mantis' or shall we say praying manti? We only had one man get down on one knee during his proposal and we found out that every man questioned sang in his wedding to his bride... There is so much romantic (big word meaning mushy) information given today that it could be the prototype (big word that has an unknown meaning to the typist) for all things matrimony. We ended this special occasion by the Deacon Dustin reading a few passages in the Bible (of course). We even had a small bit of feedback and I told a Valentine's joke.... Guest stars on this episode included: Justin (Jud) & Amanda Ingram as Hershall and Loretta, Hannah Birdsong, Janelle Cottrell & Crystal Wakley.
Send feedback if you like to devin@podnme.org or follow us on Instagram @podn_me for a behind the scenes look at this and other episodes. Enjoy!
Hershall, I know I said I'm sorry last week but I really mean it this week. The boys almost got left with the equipment and had to close the service by themselves. I really contemplated (big word meaning thought over) a walk off of the show today. I have resigned to the fact that the Songleader and Deacon have conspired against me to completely destroy this podcast! The Deacon now advocates for preachers to wear a certain (see title) head dress. The Songleader was asked to do a "Name That Tune" segment that coincided (big word meaning goes along with) Valentine's Month. He failed to keep all of the songs with a Christian message and that is what was such a tragedy. I mean, I thought December was off the rails?!?.... In the meantime we learn the identity of a friend named Marty and made one loving wife's dream come true...
If you're brave enough, take a listen. Send feedback, if you wish, to devin@podnme.org or leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Also, connect with us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, I give my complete apologies up front. As ofttimes (kjv sounding word) happens on this Podcast, we had a service that I could not, or shall I type DID NOT, close soon enough. We did have some monumental things take place before our Deacon's Boots walked off of the righteous path and returned to the beggarly (another kjv sounding word) elements of his past. We made history with our first official sponsor on Pod'N Me. Hopefully the product will be of use to our men that care about their spouses. We also started with the most in depth Hamburger Assembly debate possibly ever taken place on the airwaves. We had some good feedback included in the mix as well. Speaking (or typing) of feedback, send us some if you'd like to devin@podnme.org and find us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy (if you can)!
Hersh, it's great to be back with you this week and my how we want to prepare you for what's about to happen on the church bus today.... Please put your thinking cap on and don't pull it off especially when it comes to reading your Bible. I was criticized (big word for verbal buffeting) by the Deacon for mispronouncing a common word, of all things. Big Bad Brad read some fine feedback and we thing all in all this may be the most knowledge-filled episode yet. In the end the Songleader took us back virtually to our Booster Band days and we shared some personal testimonies of songs that caused some anxiety... Oh HERSHALLLLL..... are... you... here... to answer... the call.... 🎶
If you want to be a part of the feedback segment of the show, send us an email to devin@podnme.org. We also love to hear from folks on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, we had a great day on the church bus... It was renamed as an Epic-cast by one of our listeners. I think that is carrying things way too far. We started by settling a HUGE offense that happened over the Thanksgiving and Christmas season to one of the if not THE leading youth pastor of our movement... none other that Rev. Matthew Wilson. He was guest on the show when Deacon Dustin was on vacation (big word for R &R) back in the fall of '21 and when we were passing out accolades (another big word that sounded like it fit there) over the holidays we failed to mention his valuable contribution to Pod'N Me. We finished the day by talking about an important topic of what it means to have virtue. That only came after the Deacon Busted open a needed discussion about one of the mane (word for hair) characters in the Old Testament. We'd love to hear from you so email us at devin@podnme.org. Follow us on Instagram @podn_me. Blessings!
Hersh, first off, it was wonderful to hear from you today. We missed the Deacon on the church cast this week, but the church bus rolled on down the road. We still were able to have a wonderful time. We had some feedback and, of course, I fit some jokes in apropos (new big word used today meaning at a fitting time) as it were. We ended the day with a lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of the restaurant business. Our guest, Rev. Aaron Fuller is a third generation employee of the Fuller's Steak and Seafood restaurant in Osee- something, GA. he gives great insight on just how some folks in the business feel about all of us eaters... Let us know what you think about this or any other episode by sending an email to devin@podnme.org or follow us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless!
Hershall, I really thought a New Year would bring about some change and we did have some goals today but if my memory serves me correctly, I was the only one to keep my goal, as it were... Anyhowever, we did have the church bus rolling down the path of time and you won't be disappointed with where all we stopped today. We made history during the feedback segment. For the first time in Pod'N Me history we had to have a translator (big word for someone who know multiple languages) to interpret (big word for someone who exegetes in the other language) an Apple review. The Deacon received a high honorable title from me and he came back strong with what he is known for here.... a Bible expoundiation (big word I just made up) like ne'er before! We had an angry listener from somewhere far away that suggested listening to the podcast 'one eared.' Yule (subliminal message word) just have to hear it! Send some feedback if you'd like at to devin@podnme.org. Follow us on Instagram @podn_me. Hop on the church bus and enjoy the ride!
Hershall, in true Pod'N Me fashion, I was late getting my January interview completed but I do not think you'll be disappointed by what the conversation was about today. I got to hear from a friend and fellow pastor. Rev. Jon Isaacs is here and he shared his personal testimony that should give every youth pastor hope. He then talked about a very important part of his own church ministry and that is where he sets special time out of every year to concentrate on the needs of the family. We had a very needful conversation. If you'd like to send some feedback on today's episode feel free to send it to devin@podnme.org. You can also follow us in Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
That's correct, folks, we have Hershall in studio again today for the third week in a row! We wanted to include some of our favorite moments that have happened on the podcast in 2021. We told a little bit of behind the scenes stuff share our thoughts about when some of the funniest things happened on the podcast! We are certainly grateful for everyone that listens to our material every week & most of all we are thankful to the Lord for allowing us the privilege to be here again and again! God bless & Happy New Year!!!
Hello Churchcast members, (Hershall is still on the house) First things first, Loretta and The Sunshine Girls (their daughters) sang our opening song. The did awesome, I must say...
I sure hate to be the one to brag on the poetry especially since I'm the writer/composer of said piece but I have no one else present to boast for me, but I must say the Christmas poem at the first of the show worked out to be a masterpiece. After hours of hard work, I was able to unveil my newfound (big word meaning recently discovered) talent. I even went to a new uppity (elevated word) way to identify myself.... enough about me. We then moved to feedback and totally mistook a name in an email for an off-brand clothing line. At last we gave our favorite Christmas songs of this year. If you want to send some feedback go right ahead.... at devin@podnme.org. Find us on Instagram @podn_me.
Folks, (Hershall is in the studio so I have to type to someone else) we had a service that was in true Pod'N Me style. We started with a throwback to last week when Brad brought Orbison, Willie & Hall in for some tempting Christmas tunes to see if the Deacon would be placed under conviction.... Did I mention in a previous episode that December episodes leading up to Christmas would NOT be serious?? Well, full disclosure, today's episode was no exception. Somewhere along the way the Deacon made a 3-string guitar sound with is mouth and proceeded to sing a bit in Spanish... we think?? That little bit kept coming up over and over but in the meantime (offensive sounding word), we opened some very nice fan-mail, read reviews and had a all around time of good cheer.... If you would like to send feedback to us, you may do so at devin@podnme.org and follow us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, please hang on to your headwear (fancy word for hat) today. We decided to make the December episodes all fun and games, so if that's not your forte (real fancy word meaning a person's strong interest) then by all means, take a break and tune in in (stuttering sound) January of '22. If it happens to be something you do want to listen to, then here's the program. We start with the Deacon's favorite Christmas artist and he recited the latter (word meaning last but sounding like a runged apparatus that elevates people to their desired altitude) portion of the song. We then cover important topics like how to eat certain snack cakes as well as a touching story about the Deacon's friends Bam & Benny. I closed with maybe the most powerful joke ever told on this podcast.... you be the judge. Send feedback to devin@podnme.org or leave a review on Apple Podcasts. you can also connect with us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, It happened... My niece, Mariah Brock was on the podcast at last. We started off the episode with her leading us in a little bit of Christmas choir music. Speaking (or technically typing) of music, this service is filled with music. Some festive (big sounding word) and some other is all I'll say. We had some mighty fine feedback. If you would like to be a part of the feedback segment email us at devin@podnme.org. Find us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
Heshall, you have no need that I write unto thee, for thou full well knowest that thou wert present during this entire episode. Nevertheless, for the sake of the podience, I write this thankful description.... (long string of KJV sounding words) After the Deacon "wowed" us with Thanksgiving trivia, we checked in with a few of the guests that we've had on the podcast just to thank them for their contribution to Pod'N Me. We had a lot of laughs and were able to share some very special things that we've experienced thru this platform. We truly are thankful for everyone that tunes in to listen. We give God all of the glory for any lives that are touched by what we do here. If you'd like to send us some feedback, do so at devin@podnme.org or connect with us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless each one and Happy Thanksgiving!
Hershall, we have a lengthy service today but I know you won't be disappointed. We covered some relevant (big word meaning pertinent bigger word) topics today. The brethren and I muse (big word meaning to become absorbed by thought) about such things as Tithingman, boots and suits, and we even had a feedbacker that said we have replaced his listening content... among the list was the most popular conservative podcaster. we talked about Un-common names and how hard it is to find a souvenir name plate when your name is not that common... (see Title 👆👆) We wrapped up the service today by talking about things we are to keep and things we are to leave behind. It was conversation spurred (big word meaning urged by a sharp object I now regret using the word because no sharp objects were used in the production of this episode) by a recent Sunday school series taught by our Songleader's father.... Just listen and see what you think, Hersh.
If you'd like to send feedback, you can do so by leaving a review on Apple or email us at devin@podnme.org. You can also connect with us on Instagram @podn_me.
We also referenced a new podcast by some friends of Pod'N Me called "Two Peas On A Pod" by Rev. Zachary Cordle and Rev. Austin Griffitts
Hershall, we had another fan of the show here today. T'was the fulfillment of a promise, although not the exact person that was promised. Mariah Brock will be here in a few weeks. (The Lord be willing) We had another Brock here for church. That would be none other that Rev. David Brock Jr. It was a wonderful conversation with a man who has been an inspiration to me for many years. I feel so honored to have him here today. In spite of many challenges, he has been an overcomer with one of the greatest attitudes! He details the difficult circumstances surrounding his birth and how God gave his parents a promise that he would carry the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ. He also shared a piece of his love story with his wife and how once again God confirmed his Word! you will not be disappointed in hearing his story that he tells for the glory of God! We had a regular Pod'N Meetin with feedback and the other segments... even threw in a new item from the production room. Hersh, why am I telling you all the details when you can listen for yourself?
Contact us at devin@podnme.org and follow us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, Today we talked about several.... hang on, I'll be right back..
...ok, I think I'm good. I had to take a phone call. We talked about how easy it is to get distracted just like I did whilst (big word meaning during) in church. During the entire first part of the church-cast today, so me lady was distracted and being distracting. We got that settled and even talked to you as well as called a member of the famed (thanks to this podcast) Brock Family. We have another one to help make famous(er), Mariah Brock. If you want to be a part of the feedback segment, please do by sending it to devin@podnme.org. Follow us on Istragram @podn_me.
Hershall, you definitely need no introduction to our guest today because she is your cousin. Nevertheless (three words smashed together), our podience will gain insight (big word meaning a closer look) in the life of our one and only SUPER-FAN. Sis. Odie is one of the greatest humans in the world who has overcome many obstacles and is constant in sharing the true joy of the Lord Jesus to all that she encounters! We had a great time getting to know her better and will certainly allow her to keep her status on Pod'N Me. This has been one of the funnest episodes so far and I'm excited for you to hear what all we talked about. Stay tuned for the "Name That Tune" segment at the end. If you'd like to send feedback on today's episode, email me at devin@podnme.org. Connect with us via Instagram @podn_me. God bless & enjoy!

Hershall, This was a LONG service today but as you know some of your cousins have asked that we have a long service from time to time. We obliged (big pleasing word) them today! We had a croqu-en-buncha reviews and like to have never made it out of virtual testimony service, if you will. (and I know you will) In the midst (big middle sounding word) of it all we had two very important phone calls with the hosts of another semi-successful podcast, during which, one host tried to move here to be on Pod'N Me. We went from there to more testimonies and finally got to the subject of division. The episode ended with a Brand New Song!!! (applause in the background) The song itself settles an almost year long division that ensued (big word meaning started because of) on this podcast! If you'd like to be a part of the feedback segment, email us at devin@podnme.org. Follow us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless & enjoy!
Hershall, This week was a jammin' packed episode. We started with some feedback that included strong criticism (critical word) of Deacon Dustin's choice of fashion. We heard from an anti-souper and we also heard from our Super-fan, Andrea. She gave glowing praise concerning past episodes and love for a segment that we finished with today... NAME THAT TUNE! The contest was between Youncin' Brad and.... well, read the title. The deacon may have a new nickname. During the contest, Bustin Dustin gave us a tid-bit (small, interesting item of information) of his personal history. It was an admission of hugging a famous person in front of a crowd!
Leave us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org and follow is on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, today we had a little different format on the program. We gave a teaser in the intro to what is going to happen in today's episode. The next thing we knew, the Deacon was setting us (the Songleader and Your Humble Poderator) straight because he's still offended for The Shedman for his poor treatment on last week's episode about festive decorations.... Speaking of décor, (shorter big word for decorations) I threw out the bait a long way and caught the boys and took several minutes to reel them right into to a joke that I've had in my notes for many months. It was one of my proudest moments yet on this church cast! The Deacon's original offense was a lead up to what we ended with today... a conversation about second hand offenses. If you'd like to be a part of the feedback on our show, send us an email at devin@podnme.org or leave a review on Apple Podcasts. You can also connect with us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
Hershall, It was quite an episode today! I started with a call from devin@podnme.org which is the name of my email if you want to send feedback. It was requested to hear the Deacon's smash hit again. We also took our intervention of a friend in dire (desperate sounding word) need to the next level. We ended the show today with a GINORMOUS (literal big word) announcement. Stay tuned to the end to hear that but it has to do with a new podcast that just launched this week! Enjoy & find us on Instagram @podn_me.
Bro. Donnie King’s new podcast that we announced is linked to Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2hs3Es8clsCz6tncuVXj5A?si=tl0ugwStRJiEZoOTx1IsPg&dl_branch=1
It is also listed on several podcast platforms. Search either his name or The Pod King Bible Study.
Hershall, as we promised earlier, we got to sit down and hear the personal testimony of Rev. Philip Webb. He is a man that has had a rather unique experience. He is the third generation in pastoral ministry and has had the privilege of pastoring, in his early ministry, the church where his maternal grandfather pastored. He also currently is pastoring the church where is paternal grandfather pastored. He is a fine man with wonderful advice for all of us in the ministry. Enjoy the conversation today and send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org. You can also find us on Instagram @podn_me. May God bless you!
Hershall, we are sure glad that Deacon Dustin made it back on the Podcast today, but he came back with a proverbial (big word) chip on his shoulder about a mostly innocent letter we had helped last week's guest write on his behalf. After he got all of that taken care of, we moved on to feedback and had some jokes on the program. We even had a studio audience today. We wrapped up the day talking about how we see ourselves compared to others. leave us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org. Find us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
Heshall, You'll soon find out that we have a vacancy (fancy word) today on the show.... The Deacon isn't here again but this time he's vacating (word meaning on vacation) in a far away remote place. The church-cast must continue so we decided to have a youth pastor sub for him. The man is Rev. Matthew Wilson, a longtime friend of mine. He has been in youth ministry for the past 4 years and offers some great insight for the Christian youth of today. He also brought some feedback for the Deacon Dustin himself.... If you want to be a part of the feedback segment, email us at devin@podnme.org. Find us on Instagram @pod_me. Hope you enjoy the episode today!
Hersh, as you can see in the title, we spake today in the rabbit trail portion of the show about how some folks get their names abbreviated (big word meaning shortened) and henceforth (a powerful big important sounding word) the reason why I addressed you as Hersh instead of Hershall. Speaking (or typing in my case) of addressing folks, We did some investigative work in the cold call segment of the program and called The Anointed Bass Player aka your bro-in-law aka Deacon J* D*** from the great state of TN. He told us of your and Loretta's welfare. we ended the episode with another name that tune segment which your (h)umble poderator was a clear winner..... If you would like to send f-f-f-feedback, you may do so via email at devin@podnme.org. Find us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy
Hershall, the episode went off flawlessly (muchly without flaws) in some regards... My speech was not with enticing words, because I was having trouble speaking and the Deacon & Songleader called me out! We ended today by talking about the how we as a world are once again consuming everything we can from the tree of knowledge. We know how that worked out for the first humans yet we think we can somehow escape their fate. The goal is to know and try to understand God. (Jeremiah 9:23-24) Send us feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org. Follow us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
Hershall, we had a reunion today of sorts. The Deacon and Songleader were back on the church-cast which ye have no need that I write unto you, because you were one that helped welcome the boys back... Speaking of welcoming, we welcomed you to the great state of Oklahoma! We had some great feedback and ended by the boys telling about their recent experiences with Covid, which was the reason for their recent vacancy on the podcast... If you want to be part of the feedback segment, email us at devin@podnme.org. You can also find us on Instagram @podn_me. Enjoy!
Hershall, today we have a very gifted guest on the podcast. Pastor Donnie King is who I'm talking about... I know you thought it was the humble host that I was referring to... it was Rev. King. We recently met through a mutual friend and I have already gained such great respect for his knowledge in the Word of God. He talks to me today about the Bible as being a Marriage Covenant between God and mankind and he uses the Jewish wedding customs to prove his point. It was truly a great conversation. He even told us some things about the Old Testament prophet, Jonah, that are very interesting. I hope that the Word of God and his Love for all of us is opened up to everyone who listens today!
If you would like to be part of the weekly episodes, send us some feedback at devin@podnme.org. you can also find us on Instagram @podn_me.
If you’d like to contact our guest, Pastor King, you may do so by sending him an email at dkministries1977@yahoo.com.
God Bless & Enjoy!
How bout that, Hershall? I put the biggest word possibly that we've ever used in the title! (as well as the description of the second word.... speaking of the second word, the first word was used two times in this EPISODE. Yep, you heard (or technically read) what I said (or technically typed), it was used twice, as in 1 less that thrice (KJV word meaning 3). You likely think that I used it as some of my fancy jargon (a word meaning nothing like it sounds like it SHOULD mean), but it was actually used by 2 different reviewers- aka Hershi! Whew, I'm already tired of typing about it, so I'll just say this... we ended up talking about a portion of Acts 27 so give it all a listen if you'd like. Also, send us some feedback at devin@podnme.org (said softly and tenderly) or leave a review on Apple Podcasts... of course, if you'd like to do so... also, find us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, we had several new things happen today while the deacon and the song leader was absent. First of all, we recorded in Studio 7. It was an (h)onor to be in a new plush studio with two, that's correct, TWO new guests. My two eldest offspring (big word meaning children) agreed to come on the show. My second-born son, Brooks, even brought a scripture to interpret (big word meaning explain which is what I'm doing right now) for us. We had a couple corny knee slappers and then ended up by getting their perspectives of being in the home of a preacher. Send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org or leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Also you can find us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless!
Hershall, we here we are at episode 61 or 62 since we had a once a month episode last week, but who’s counting…. We had a selfie taken on air which is a first here on the show. The deacon used the Bible as a weapon against the (h)umble podereator. I survived all the criticism and stay in the service til the end. Toward the end we talked about the importance of a daily encounter with the Lord God. It got rather challenging. Thanks for listening and we love to hear your feedback. If you want to be part of the show, send us an email at devin@podnme.org, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, or find us on Instagram @podn_me. God bless!
Hershall, without giving too much away, we had a anonymous (secret-ly big word) listener send in more than feedback... we got a song in the mail. It came straight from the recording studio and we were able to debut (first appearing word) it on today's EPISODE. Chaos (word pronounced (KAY-OSS) ensued... we ended up playing name that tune. Enjoy and send feedback to devin@podnme.org and look us up on Instagram @podn_me. We read all your comments and you are welcomed to send any of us a message. The nice lady in our corporate office will get the messages to us! Also, you can leave us a review on Apple Podcasts and we'll include it in a show!
Hersh, as you well know, we sometimes change things up on Pod'N Me.We did just that today and made the executive (upper level sounding word) decision to have a discussion with the two regulars on the show about where they came from and where we are today. This is our once a month episode and failed to secure an interview with a guest so I talked to Dustin & Brad about their own personal experiences. we even took time to brag on you, Hershall. The deacon & song leader really do think you are a good man!
If you'd like to be a part of our show send feedback to devin@podnme.org or leave us a review on Apple Podcasts. you can also follow us on Instagram @podn_me. God Bless & thanks for listening!
Hershall, You need to fasten your proverbial seatbelt today.... Virtual church went a little long. You got a cold call from us and after that, we had a review that got the show clogged up so bad that we felt like we were at a virtual word-salad smorgasbord (big word meaning a buffet of variety). The reviewer used up 79% or less of the English language. After all of that goodness, we let the Deacon control the music selection and take us down memory lane.... Send us feed back if you'd like to be a part of the show at devin@podnme.org.
Follow us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hersh, I've been diagnosed by a listener with misophonia. It is a treatable condition so don't get worried. We had a great discussion on the show today and even broke the news to the world that we're on Instagram @podn_me. We also diffused the threat of losing a listener on Instagram… he was threatening to never listen to another show until he was invited on…. We took him up on is invitation & called him up and the rest is history! We read feedback from Apple and emails from devin@podnme.org. Thanks for listening!
Hershall, you were a joy to have in Studio 4 today! I hope our other tens of listeners enjoy hearing us paddle down memory river. (old modified adage)
-powerful string of words I used to describe that last phrase-
We talked about our recent kayaking adventure on Crooked Creek in Arkansas where you had to practice your SWR skills. (Swift Water Rescue) T'was a story of heroic (big word alert) moments where you our one listener, Hersh, became the saving arms to our very own Deacon Dustin. We've. made such a difference in your life and now you saved one of our own! We also let you bring the Bible story to us today. There was some scrutiny (another big word) in the feedback but we can handle the criticism.... If any of our other Hershi (multiple Hershalls) would like to send feed back, email us at devin@podnme.org.
Follow us on Instagram @podn_me.
Hershall, We've been hijacked! Before you call the authorities (big sound word for officials), we want you to know that all things are under control. Rev. Andrew T. Bellah was invited today to talk about some things he's doing with his podcast- Pentecast. We had a great discussion but we were missing our song leader, Bro. Brad. Through it all, we made it and hopefully you'll go give Andrew a listen or even a watch. you can find Pentecast on several social media outlets as well as see them on YouTube. Send us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
Hello Hershall, For our once a month series, we have my father, Rev. Lendell Birdsong on the podcast. He has been a great influence on my life and he is a man of honor and integrity. He and my mother have quite a story of pain & struggle during their early years of marriage. But, thanks to their willingness to surrender to the Lord, their lives have been blessed and they have used their story to help many. He gives us a glimpse of how God used financial difficulties along with many other things to get him to the point of total surrender to God. He is a man that has given God all of the glory for His helping hand in his life! Enjoy this month's interview with my dad!
Send feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org
Hershall, This week, The Deacon came ready for battle... i.e. the impartation (big word meaning 'to give out') of the Word. He was so much in the mode of feeding the flock that he kept talking in quotable lingo (big shorter word for language) for much of the show! He also explained in depth his family tree.... We wrapped it all up talking about our recent trips to a drama of the life of Jesus... Send us some feedback on today's show of you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
(BIG FIRST WORD ALERT IN THE TITLE) Hershall, don't be alarmed (scary sounding word) by the title, Brad isn't leaving the show. at first glance it may seem like Brad is trying to depart from this program. We had some GREAT feedback this week and I also threw in some personal feedback concerning Bro. Brad's voice... you'll see. I also shared a recent diagnosis (powerful big word used in the medical community) which my co-hosts didn't appreciate.... yes Kleptomania was discussed on today's show. We finished by talking about the importance of having conversations. We need to know when to speak and when NOT to speak. If you'd like to be a part of the show via our feedback segment, send us your takes to devin@podnme.org!
Hershall, we have a re-re-re-repeat guest on the show today.... Dr. Tim Hudson! No, I wasn't stuttering (fancy word for CD skipping). I am referring to the fact that this is the fourth time he has been on the podcast! He needs no introduction here on Pod'N Me. We had a wonderful conversation today concerning the Existence of God. He gave us three ways that prove that our God, the God of the Bible, really does exist! Enjoy the episode and send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org.
Mr. Hershall, We tried some new things on the show today... including Life Advice, Marriage Advice and an Opinion Section where we tackled the deep theological thoughts on vehicular mullets... (powerful sentence never thought possible that I'd ever type) We even talked about the first Biblical reference to the c*vid-19 virus.... I know it's against Pod'N Me policies to discuss such things but I felt it was permissible (big word meaning OK) for today's Bible discussion. We ended up talking about what Meekness really means... Enjoy

Hersh, well ne'er (shorter songbook-ish way of saying never) mind you were here as a guest today, so I need not tell you what happened... But for the sake of the Hershites (new word on today's show) out there, we'll let them in on what is included here on the podcast today. We, the campmeeting board (Deacon Dustin, Songleader Brad & your (H)umble Correspondent), went over some feedback from the camp meeting as well as other episodes and included vital being the scenes stuff that goes on such as this is the first time we've recorded in a month! The feedback took a dark turn when one of the Hershites left a comment that required him to obtain some life insurance and a body guard... Somehow we managed to make it thru the episode unscathed (big word meaning un-injured)! Thanks for listening and chime in with some feedback of your own at devin@podnme.org!
Here we are at Day 3 of Campmeeting... the final day. We have Rev. Steve Moore in the podcast to talk to us about how to avoid getting dull. He takes us first down memory lane with some stories of serving on campmeeting boards with some great men. Bro. Steve is a man that has taught the guys at our church how to be happy Christians. He brings us up to speed on what he is now doing since he resigned the church where I now pastor. We had a great conversation and were challenged to stay sharp! We hope you enjoyed the Campmeeting!
Day 2 of Campmeeting is here, Hershall. I hope you rested well on the campground last night and are ready for tonight's service. We have my favorite brother-in-law (husband of tams88keys) on the show. Bro. Brad is here for the service. We catch up on the reasons why he missed the first camp meeting service, reminisce (fancy big word meaning talked about stuff from by-gone days) about childhood camp meeting experiences. The deacon let me know in a round about way that I wasn't his first choice to befriend at camp meeting. Bro. Jon did an outstanding job challenging us all to embrace today! Enjoy & send some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org!
Hershall, the time has finally arrived! (Does time travel, or make appearances?) The first night (or day) of our anticipated camp meeting is here! We had an unexpected disappearance from the Songleader Bro. Brad, but he is a camp meeting board member and as sometimes happens, he was not able to attend the first service but we were told that he was on the grounds. We visit today with a friend of mine, Bro. Jud/Justin Ingram. (He has many names none of the least of which is our own Hershall) He talked about how Bitterness can totally destroy the good in your life. We even got to hear some of his greatest bloopers from being in the ministry! Enjoy the show today and tune in tomorrow for Day 2 of camp meeting!
Hershall, We have a repeat guest on the show. It was time again to hear from an expert, so we called Dr. Tim Hudson. We have a lot going on in preparation for the Pod'N Me Campmeeting next week so we decided to release another episode with Rev. Tim Hudson. He talks today about how we can trust the New Testament to be true! Enjoy and send us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
Hershall, There was a plethora (powerful big word 🚨 alert) (the word means overabundance) of topics today on the show. To name some of the topics that Deacon Dusty brought up: Dank (word for moist) Masks, Incognito.... We also had a Nerd-intervention for the Songleader. It all came to a crash-ending when we totally got wrecked talking about pottery. As I said in the beginning, I left the latter portion of the episode unedited so you could know just how hard it is to recover from the pillage (big word meaning destruction) we find ourselves in.... Send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org. Enjoy!
Hersh, It's a wild ride today. We had a bit of musical chairs (an intimidating game from childhood) on the podcast today. Brad (the Songleader) proverbially (big word alert) took my chair at the beginning of the show. He went totally serious. Dustin (the Deacon) was on top of his game too with some live Bible reading. It was something to behold (another word for see)! We ended by talking about what motivates folks to do their best. I give you a hint if you'll email me at devin@podnme.org and brag on our show.... Enjoy!
Hershall, the title has a rather big word in it... remorse. It was used at the end of the show by our brainiac, Big Bad Brad. I know that doesn't shock you that he uses big words, after all, he's the reader of the group. Bustin' Dustin chimed in a few times today too and overall we had a really meanful conversation about what draws us to repentance. Thanks for listening, as always and send us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
Hershall, since I am almost a year into doing this podcast, I thought it would be fitting to have the man that inspired me to create this podcast on Pod'N Me. His name is Andrew Bellah and he is my near kinsman (a KJV way to say cousin). He has a wonderful testimony of how God delivered him from a life of drug addiction. We also discussed his grief in losing his father. He is the creator of Pentecast podcast. You can find him on www.pentecastpodcast.com. You can also connect with him on instagram @PenteCastal and search for Pentecast on Facebook and Twitter. I hope you enjoy the conversation today!
Hello Hershall, We're back to normal this week with the three of us, The Deacon Dustin, Songleader Brad and myself, your humble poderator. The show was set ablaze (semi-big word meaning on 🔥 fire) by some powerful feedback from some of our listening Hershalls. The boys both were renamed... 'Twas (old English red back hymnal word alert) wonderful to hear the new names they received. We are afraid the deacon may have lived up to his new nickname with his rendition (fancy word for interpretation) of another O.T. passage. We ended up talking about a recent flight of mine and that's where time ran out on us. Keep the feedback coming, Hersh. devin@podme.org is the place to let your voice be heard!
Hershall, It finally happened. Tams88keys (my older sister) made her debut (fancy word that doesn't sound like it's written meaning first) appearance on the show. She's made this podcast so many times, thru her written word, about her, and somehow today she made her interview, so many times, about me.... I know, it's kinda confusing. We had some great feedback this week from the song leader. We almost lost a HUGE supporter of the show over a recent guest... all big things that happened here today. Send us your thoughts if you'd like at devin@podnme.org!
Hershall, the boys and I had an eventful show today. we had a listener give a scripture for the deacon to explain and we don't know when to offer thanks over our food now.... We also had a coup (word not pronounced the way it is spelled meaning violent take-over) when Tam's 88 keys went behind my back and sent an email to the song leader to read on air! it totally dominated the remainder of the show. The "P" may be silent in coup but it certainly wasn't in her email... We end by talking a bit about cancel culture. Let us hear from you via at devin@podnme.org.
We have a revamped (big word sounding like you would say in your head while hearing it said, 'well, here they go vamping again.' It means to remodel) show today. I don't even have to describe to our listener what went on because he is our guest. Yes, you guessed it, (I just typed two kinds of the same sounding word with in a few syllables. i.e. Guest & Guessed) Hershall Ingram, the man, the listener, and the legend was on today to talk about two of our recent encounters. One even involved some of Loretta's soup. In studio 5, I even loaded us up with some brand new sound effects, hence (big word meaning from this source) the reason I talked about the revamping that went on... anyway, I don't want to just ramble on... let us know what you think about what we thought about what you said..... (unintelligible word salad) at devin@podnme.org if you'd like, of course!
I feel so privileged again today to get to sit down with my friend Dr. Tim Hudson and discuss in depth the most sacred event in history. The things that surround the death of the Lord Jesus are very moving to every one who has experienced his grace. We hear in words just a fraction of what He went through for us to be free from our sins. It is this particular event that joins us back to God. I hope this episode today will cause us to be drawn to the Lord in a greater way!
Hershall, buckle up. My guest today is a friend that has a big title.... DOCTOR! If you listen, you'll see why. He's earned it with a large amount of study. Our discussion today gives us more evidence to rest our faith upon. We talk about one of my very favorite topics. The facts remain that "Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" With Dr. Hudson on the program today, our ministry of low expectations has been raised to move of a mid-level expectation. Send us some feedback if you'd like to devin@podnme.org.
A myriad (big word meaning big numbers) of topics (impressive sounding word) were discussed today, Hershall. Right off the bat, (an idiom -impressively big word in the description of the previous phrase- meaning immediately) Deacon Dustin started asking about the Old Testament practice of stoning! We may all be under a pile of rocks before this is over with, Hersh. We also found out from the Deacon how to microwave cheese and before we knew it the PK's of the program (Poderator & Deacon) were confessing to listening to an in-home party line. (it sounds much more festive than it actually was) Age revelations and time savers were also discussed. Our program wrapped up with is Honoring our elders abroad (big word meaning all over) as well as here on Pod'N Me...
Hey, Hershall, We love hearing from you, so why don't you send us an email at devin@podnme.org.
Hershall (my listener), we had 2 historic (famous word) events (word that sounds like it could apply to electronics) that took place today on the episode. They both involved the Deacon.
-
He alienated almost everyone listening and possibly even his spouse and it could affect even my spouse in turn.... I mean, whew (onamonapia alert) when this podcast threatens the possibility of our wives listening... well just listen and see what you think, Hersh.
-
He (the Deacon Dustin) requested that we discuss a recent message that I preached that he was evidently impressed by the content therein. (preacher-esque sounding sentence alert)
Let me know what you think by sending feedback to devin@podnme.org. We love hearing from all of our listeners!
Hershall, from the title you would think that retirement was part of the subject but it wasn't even brought up! We started with some exhilarating (shocking word alert) feedback. Pray for Deacon Dusty cause he got hit pretty hard by a guy who we surmised (word with little evidence to go on) had a missing string. We ended by having a serious discussion on the challenge of receiving of the kind hearts of others. We'll try to pay it forward with these episodes! let us hear from you by way of sending feedback to devin@podnme.org.
Hershall, this week I put a big word in the Title (Please see above for more info). The use of "Resumé" in the title could cause a fella like you at first glance to think this is an un-ending episode, but that's what that word means when you subtract (lesser word alert) the line above the "e" on the word. The reason why I even included the word, Hersh, is because we had someone trying to get hired on to the podcast and put an application (another several meaning-ed word) in the review on Apple Podcasts. After an extended amount of time talking about such things, we (the deacon, song leader & I) talked about promotion that comes from the Lord. If I had to measure this show, I'm not sure what unit of measurement I would use. Send us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
It's a special day to...morrow and we addressed that, Hershall. T'was (a semi-hymn-notic word) told on this podcast that your Birthday is tomorrow and for that we celebrated with a cold call to you our listener! During feedback, (aka testimony time about how good we are doing) Deacon Dusty totally dug himself in a Biblical quagmire (impressive big word that leaves a sinking feeling). He brought up a New Testament reference silencing a big part of our audience and the DOUBLED down on it! Speaking of double.... the song-leader Brad has a double or twin as we say in polite society. He came on the show today to talk about his twin-ship with Brad. He wrapped up by telling us the real reason for his delay in appearing on the podcast. In the nick (confusing word with 4 or 5 meanings) of time, I added some obscure (hidden word) Bible trivia about a guy who gets picked on for doubting. Email the podcast if you'd like at devin@podnme.org. we may even read and react to your feedback on air!
Hello Hershall, Me & the boys (Deacon Dustin & Songleader Brad) hit the ground running. As you've come to expect it was a packed service today. We did manage to make it to church early and after the deacon and I got Brad lookin' presentable, (semi-big word meaning 'nice enough') we went on in and started the Pod'n Meetin'. We covered a wide gamut (intelligent sounding big word meaning full scale) of topics such as: Great Toes, Great Radio Announcers (Paul Harvey) Great Cars (Buicks) and the Greatest Cereal. We ended up talking about following the voice of the Lord. Now, Hersh, how we made it to our final topic was something that you'll have to listen to find out. Would you mind taking the time to let us hear from you? We may even include your feedback in an upcoming episode. You can leave us a comment at devin@podnme.org or leave a review on Apple Podcasts. Thanks for listening!
Hey Hershall, Pod'n meetin' crept up on us this week! we were running a little late for church but who among us hasn't been tardy (big word for late) from time to time. Trey was already in to the second verse by the time we arrived but he usually doesn't get thru the verse and chorus before we silence his voice and start the show. so, it worked out that we heard Trey singing a part of the song that we haven't in the past. Speaking of Trey, He called in with a GINORMOUS (literal big word alert) complaint. He's been critiquing (smart sounding word) the deacon on his intelligent sayings. We got reacted to some feedback as well as had a good conversation on the topic of prayer and Devine or Divine healing... Enjoy and email me if you'd like at devin@podnme.org. We always welcome your input!
Hersh, the deacon threw us for a loop when he went back to the Old Testament to start talking about promises and oaths, but before we got there, I pulled out an old fact about the deacon that the song leader had never heard. I know some stuff, Hershey! It had to do with the deacon's Appalachian melodic prowess of indigo sod persuasion. (word salad ALERT 🚨)
-the meaning of the previous statement was that Brad had no idea that Dustin took a bluegrass instructional course for the guitar. (amazing string of big words)
We ended up talking about the power of prayer! Some other topics included Full-Service Filling stations. I hope you enjoy the Pod'N Meetin' and if you want to contact us feel free to do so at devin@podnme.org
This may have been a total waste if good time, Hershall, but we had fun. It’s not what we set out to accomplish but I feel we made podcast history. I can’t say definitively (big word that possibly means ‘for sure’) but I really don’t think a podcast has ever delved into this riveting topic. (Fairly intelligent sounding sentence alert 🚨) Enjoy the Rain Gauge discussion! Contact me if you’d like at devin@podnme.org.
Hershall, We had a meandering (wander-ful word) time getting to our topic today. As you know, sometimes the brethren can run things off the rails so to speak and today I didn't know if we were going to get to the topic. We plowed through importance like: my speech issues, receptacle crowding, water bottles, and I even made a HUGE confession for the world to hear! It has to do with a book report. Speaking of confession, Brad told us he read a 1,000 (yep three zeros) page book for fun. Anyway, we ended up talking about dressing up.... (you'll have to see what I'm referring to) Enjoy! Contact me if you wish at devin@podnme.org.
I have a treat for you today, Hershall. I sit down (virtually) with my pastor and his wife again. We have talked about doing this episode for a long time and finally we got it done. We talked about the main man in their life, Mr. Tanner Guthrie, and the impact he has had on so many people. Hang on, cause toward the end of the interview we get to hear from him. Also, we get to hear him sing his favorite song. After all, Hersh, he is the leader of the Guthrie Vocal Band.
Sis. Chera has a blog that I referenced in the interview. It is well worth the read and it is at cheraguthrie.com. Enjoy!
If you'd like to contact me, you can at devin@podnme.org.
When we talk about the Return of the Deacon, Hershall, it has nothing to do with his tax records so don't think that kind of information is going to be discussed today. We just had a Pod'N Meetin' without Deacon Dusty last week and he's back on the show today. After a few minutes of us heaping our accolades (big-ish word alert) on him, we moseyed (wondering word) our way into the subject for today which was kinda about how we are supposed to take a nice compliment. That all came after the Deacon pulled a heart wrenching (anguish word) scripture to describe his feelings about last week's episode. Hersh, we love hearing from you so send me an email if you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
Hersh, Deacon skipped the service and things went awry. (semi complicated word to spell) After an extended time of feedback we called you, Hershall. I wanted you to meet the celebrity. We ended by talking about an obscure verse in Genesis to discuss how we'll be remembered. Contact us if you'd like at devin@podnme.org
Hershall, Did you notice I dropped the last names of our guests? It seems like every week they are getting less and less recognition. Speaking of recognition, (semi-big word alert) 🚨 if you recognize your need to contact us, go ahead we'd love to hear from you. Send us an email at devin@podnme.org. We started off today talking about my frustration at America's Drive In (not a sponsor). Then we had a lil' testimony time and that went a little long but it was necessary, I guess. Before it was over with I went to our topic on Bible reading and had both of the boys confessing some stuff. Enjoy!
Hershall, We finally get a female perspective on the podcast! The song leader brought his wife along for the conversation today, and why not, it's a conversation about her. She got news a few years ago that no one wants to get. They take us through their journey of faith through some difficult stuff. Enjoy the podcast and send us some feedback if you'd like at devin@podnme.org.
Hersh, as you've come to expect, we're settling big issues here in the new year! I started by throwing the boys a curve. they thought I was referencing a Bible verse and I wasn't. Me being in the Min-us-Streh (ministry) and all, caused the brethren to make a wrong assumption. We eventually moved on to more riveting (big word alert) spiritual conversation when the deacon wanted to discuss the McRib (not a sponsor of the show). I did manage in the exit to bring that to spiritual point believe it or not! Anyway, we're glad you're here and enjoy! Email the podcast if you'd like. We love hearing from you! devin@podnme.org
Hershall, we got an update from the boys on their Christmas festivities. (big word alert) We got another call from you. We even talked to a guy named Jud Ingram. It was a privilege and an honour (King James Spelling) We pray you have a Blessed New Year!
Merry Christmas, Hershall! We tackle some worthwhile stuff today. You'll need to pay close attention cause we could've had a church split pretty easy if we weren't so good at working thru conflict. We talked about Christmas traditions and ended on Christmas songs that we really don't want to hear again. At last we discussed some that we can leave in the line up for next year. Thanks for always listening, Hersh and have a Blessed Christmas!
devin@podnme.org
Hershall, I think you've made the Deacon & Songleader's day. We had some feedback from some of your friends that have been hearkening to the podcast and did they ever put the praises in for the boys! Whew, I didn't know if we'd ever get to the end of the accolades but we finally did and went right in to talking about a vital part of our worship services. That is singing hymns. At the end I threw a Bible trivia (semi-big word) out and Deacon Dustin got a winning answer. Enjoy!
Hershall, I gave Bro. Brad a promotion in the title. I put his name in the guest list first. I think the deacon was kinda crowding him for that slot up on the front seat. I made room for him though. Deacon Dustin kindly acquiesced. (powerful big word alert) Today we tackled a big topic. What difference do bumper stickers make? We have decided not to give our allegiance to bumper stickers as a place to settle all the world's woes. Enjoy!
If you'd like to send me a message, please do so at devin@podnme.org
Hershall, this week we delve (semi-big word) into one of the greatest things that was instituted in the church. The observance of the Lord's Supper has been neglected and we talk about it's importance. See, Hershall, we can talk about serious subjects. Drop me a line and let me know what you think. If you'd like to get in touch with me you can email me at devin@podnme.org. Once again, that dev... we'll you know by now surely! God Bless!
Hersh, Today I sat down with one of my hero's, Bro. Ronnie Baker. we talked about some of his experiences in his ministry. He has pastored several churches and has been a steady voice during troubled times for many folks. With over 50 years in the ministry, he is definitely someone worth listening to. He ended with sharing his recent transition from pastoring to traveling again as well as telling how God gave a special call to him to visit the hospitals. Enjoy!

Hershall, We had a Thanksgiving pod'n meetin' where the boys went ahead and gave me the raw definition of what thanks-giving really means. We had Josh Vaughn on the church bench today to help us with our musing (big-is type word) about dishes on the table at Thanksgiving. we ended with a bit of talk about commercialism and people trying to up sale. Enjoy!
Send feedback to devin@podnme.org. God Bless!
Hersh, It was an honor to have you call in but there was a lot that happened while you weren't on the podcast today. The singer of the show, Trey Brock (aka my nephew) called in unannounced! The boys gave me a tough way to go about my treasure found in suited vessels. My favorite sister left some favorable and some not so favorable feedback at devin@podnme.org. You called, Hersh. We ended up thinking Dustin needs to study his Bible a bit more before he tries to show off his theological (semi-big word alert) talents.
Hersh, It's Wednesday Pod'N Meetin' Time... IN PERSON!! Me, Brad & Dustin tell of our experiences with online church as well as explore the possibility of artists and celebrities trying to be like us... the common folk. We also talk about whether technology has made us smarter or not. Then the boys turned their guns on all of us who have enjoyed the conveniences of Bluetooth Technology... If you get time after listening to this, of course, send me some feedback at devin@podnme.org. We may even have a feedback segment on the show! God bless!
Hersh, the song leader and deacon are back for another conversation. We talk about something near and dear to our hearts... not music this time. It's another favorite subject and that is food. I really thought things were going pretty normal til we found out Wile E. Coyote was in danger at Brad's house. Yes, Hersh, he put some of the Coyote's kindred on the table as food. The subject of gluttony came up and we all three sobered up! Give it a listen and draw your own conclusions.
Hersh, the boys are back. I hope they aren't trying to form a coup (big word alert). If they are, I didn't allow it this time I used the power of music to dig into their minds. I even did a test on Dustin to see if I could make him weep by playing a song that recently did just that. Hersh you know I'm an avid lover of good music. These boys are too and we had a good time talking about it. Enjoy!
Hersh, I'm here with a friend of mine who is a bit on the touchy side about his name. Let's just say, don't shorten his first name and don't add to his last. It is Doug-las Meadow as in singular as in ONE grass covered field- MEADOW. Whew, I thought we'd never get that through your head. Anyhow, Rev. Meadow is a big fan of preacher's kids (helpful hint: he is one and he has 3 of his own). Speaking of his kids, they have an album with wonderful music and singing. you can find it on their Facebook page The Meadows Family and on Instagram at themeadowsfamilymusic. Now, before you go talking about the use of the "s" on their social media, I didn't have anything to do with that. Anyhowever, Hersh, I hope you'll enjoy our conversation as we go down memory lane. Enjoy!
Hershall, We decided to go all in... We've added some regular guests here on the production team and decided to call it a Pod'N Meetin'. The honorable deacon, Dustin Wakley, and Song Leader in Chief, Brad Cottrell are going to be gatherin' each and every Wednesday for our midweek service so to speak but as you'll hear today, this is no substitute for going to church. Today I laid out my plan for the future of the podcast. Hope you can join us, Hersh! I'd be honored to have your feedback and you never know you may even get a shout-out on the podcast. Contact me at devin@podnme.org. God Bless!
This is another totally off the cuff episode with my listener Hershall (Jud Ingram). He's a great friend that really DID have Covid 19 and a tough case. He has just recovered thankfully. In no way are we trying to make light of the virus that has taken the lives of so many loved ones and friends. We are thankful for all who have recovered and know that this is something that we are all trying to work through. All that being said, I wanted to release this episode to let everyone know my plans. I am hoping to release episodes more frequently. Thanks to all that took the time to rate and review. I really am humbled by your kind words. I'm enjoying podcasting and hope it is a blessing to all! God Bless!
First off, Hershall, this is a long episode, but cut me a little slack, its has been a month since you've even heard from me. Today I sat down with a couple of parishioners... A deacon and song leader. Hersh, the deacon happens to be one of my best friends. I mean the guy knows some stuff about me. We got together to have what we all thought was going to be a light hearted conversation and it ended up being down right serious at times. We did cover some important stuff though like my use of circumlocution (big word alert) while preaching, Elmer Fudd references, and how singing on the job can cause some folks to become patriotic. All that wrapped up with the idea that we need to laugh in the midst of these troubled times. Hersh, you even got a shout out! Enjoy!
To be honest, Hershall, I can’t remember NOT knowing my guest today. He’s been a close friend for years. We talk about Ollie Outinfree and a myriad of other things that come to our minds. I also pay tribute to the memory of a good friend. Hersh, while you’re going about your day (feeding animals and such) take some time to make a good memory here and there. God bless & I hope you enjoy!
Hershall, have you ever thought about writing a song? It takes a bit more than I thought at first. Should you ever decide to try writing one, someone like Bro. Rick Simpson would be a good person to consult with first. He has some experience in writing... he writes on songs almost every day of the week! He also has had success at people recording his songs and many people enjoying the songs to the place where they contacted him and told him how his songs changed their lives! Hersh, I figured that folks would like to hear how a song can pull you through tough times since our whole world is dealing with some tough circumstances. Hey and if you want to hear more songs from Bro. Simpson's family look them up: simpsonfamilymusic.com
Folks, this is a completely off the cuff interview with our one fictitious listener, Hershall. Hopefully it brings a smile! It appears that we have our work cut out with Hersh. He's an interesting character to say the least. We plan to hear from him in the future. You may even recognize his voice....
Heroes are here today, Hershall (My listener). I talked to our pastors, Bro. Dathan & Sis. Chera Guthrie. We had a very raw but meaningful conversation about forgiveness. If you’d like to read any of Sis. Chera’s blog posts check it out at: www.cheraguthrie.com.
Also, here is the infor we talked about with Bro. Blue last episode: www.jotnjournal.com
Bro. Blue and I go down memory lane. We talk about our first formal introduction. He shares with me how he came to faith in Christ. I introduce him to Hershell. He even lets us in on info that few people know... I find out that Bro. Blue has a passion for notebooks!
