Episode 1145: Wilderado
Today we're joined by Max Ranier from indie folk band Wilderado. We talk about his faith journey — and of course how it influenced their upcoming sophomore album. But as good as that convo is, if there's one moment that's going to be talked about from this episode, it's this: Church prom. Yes, the cast brings the week's Slices — like the Wendy's backlash, government spying and the Florida Man games — and at the end we have Hot Takes, but all you're going to talk about is Emily's formative memories becoming the queen of church prom. Seriously, this whole episode is about church prom.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
