Cathy, Kirsten, and I kick off this year’s book club with Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang. This book opened up a deep conversation around how Paul reinterpreted Christianity in the Bible, and how that’s shaped much of what we see in modern religion. We also explore the disconnect between the teachings of Jesus and God. Love, compassion, and inclusion and the harmful messages often directed at women and the LGBTQ+ community. There were inconsistencies we couldn’t ignore, and this episode is all about unpacking those questions with honesty and curiosity.

Hosted by LeeAnn Kreischer, Wife of the Party offers a backstage pass to the chaos and comedy of a life lived in the spotlight's shadow. This isn't just a podcast about being married to a famous comedian; it's a raw, funny, and surprisingly educational look at the realities of partnership, parenting, and maintaining your own identity. Through candid conversations with a rotating roster of friends, LeeAnn delves into the unvarnished truths of marriage, the beautiful mess of family life, and the unique experience of sharing your home with a human tornado of energy like Bert Kreischer. Each episode feels like a late-night chat with your most honest friend, one who isn't afraid to laugh at the absurdities while sharing hard-won wisdom. You'll hear stories that range from hilariously relatable to uniquely surreal, all grounded in LeeAnn's genuine perspective. From Berty Boy Productions, this podcast blends comedy with heartfelt moments and practical takeaways, making it a listen for anyone navigating their own relationships or simply curious about the person who keeps the party going long after the microphone is off. It’s about finding the humor in the everyday, the lessons in the chaos, and your own voice within the noise.
