63: Summer Curiosities

63: Summer Curiosities

In this episode, we relax (some might say too much) and welcome Amy Langle on to join us for a discussion of road trips vs. flights, some summer likes and some rousing debates around summer-themed "Would You Rather" questions.

It's fun, silly, and as we promise at the beginning and the end, totally without substance. But hey, what's summer for?

58: A Very (x5) Curious Christmas

It is Curious Church’s almost-annual Christmas episode as we ring in the season with Our List and the very traditional Curious Christmas Quiz. There’s very little that’s serious in this feast of an episode, so sit back, grab a mug of hot cocoa and enjoy the jollification.

A big thanks to the Reverend Dr. Kevin Adams and new guest of the podcast Amy Langle for joining Aaron and Matt for the merriment.
