Ep. 202 Leif Andersen (Vendetta Red/Let's Get High And Read The Bible Podcast) Dec 13, 2021

Show notes

Our guest this episode is a dear friend. Leif Andersen is the guitarist of Vendetta Red and LVNLVN as well as the creator and host of a new podcast called Let's Get High And Read The Bible. In Leif's new exploration into podcasting he leans on his lifelong relationship with faith and his regular practice of reading The Bible. He also gets really high and analyzes and compares verses with co-host Geoff Reading (Loaded/Green Apple Quickstep). I most definitely recommend you check it out, especially starting around episode 8 or 9 on. Look for a new album from LVNLVN in early 2022!
