Summary

Bonnie and Karen bring out the ol' cassettes and talk about Amy Grant to Led Zeppelin.  Show notes: Bonnie and Karen say hola to everyone. Right off the bat, Bonnie accused Karen of making up the word “podcatchers”--which is a word! We’re now on iTunes, Stitcher, TuneIn, PodBean, Castbox... And unbeknownst to them, they have a blog--which they’ll post to any day now. Karen starts off with thanking the good people on Reddit. While not trying to solve the JonBenet Ramsey case, a lot of them are in communities our listeners might be interested in: Exchristianwoman Exchristian Atheism Bonnie rejects the nice things people are saying about the podcast on Reddit. Can’t have that devilish pride, ladies. Jesus takes all the glory. Bonnie begs Karen to one day tell her “bra story.” It will happen. Oh, it will happen. But not today. Bonnie’s “happy of the week” was discovering the song Ohio River by Love Jones. FIRST FAKE COMMERCIAL: Since we have no sponsors yet, we’re gonna sponsor our own damn show and give a shout-out to Godless Mom. Karen reads a hilarious letter from listener Andrew about a youth group bonfire. It’s lit. Backmasking makes a comeback. You can listen to your favorite decree to hail Satan or do the marijuana here. (Queen, The Eagles, ELO, Jeff Lynn, Led Zeppelin) Plus hear about Disney’s Night of Joy and all those bands we loved: Stryper, The Resurrection Band, Petra, Amy Grant. Find us on Instagram (our favorite), Twitter, and our website, where you can send in your own funny stories to be read on air. Technology improvements are still in progress. Yeah. Yeah.
