Played Rugby, Changed My Life Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

A military veteran calls to talk with Gethard about co-parenting with her partner and his ex-wife who she was deployed with years ago. But this call goes in some directions neither she nor Geth expected. They talk about how rugby and one specific book led her to serve, what it was like being the only woman among 400 men while deployed, and how she thinks about the time she spent in Afghanistan today.

Piano Rock Priest Dec 26, 2023

Our second Episcopal priest calls in, but this "professional Christian" has a totally different vibe. She talks about playing in a piano rock band, trying not to flip off other drivers on the road, and all the places we can find community–in and out of church.
