Hi friends, welcome to the That Sounds Fun Podcast.

This is your host, Annie F. Downs.

That song, Opening Us, is The Broken Beautiful by Ellie Holcomb, a dear friend of mine,

Ann yours.

And so she will be kicking off the podcast.

Here we go, right like our first podcast.

Yay, it's going to be awesome.

So the purpose of the podcast is really simple.

I kind of just want a place to share with you some of my favorite things.

People, places, food, books, music, kind of whatever I'm loving right now.

I just wanted a better outlet to share that with you.

And that is exactly how we're kicking this off.

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to interview Ted Decker, who has long been

one of my very, very favorite authors.

He writes these incredible fiction stories that have so many ties to our faith and ties

to the world we live in, but are just deep and wide and wonderful and scary sometimes

and weird sometimes, but really, really fascinating in general.

And I am just such a huge fan of his writing.

And so a couple of weeks ago, I was given the opportunity to sit down with him and talk

about his new book, A.D.30, that has just come out.

It's really good.

I already got to read it.
