Listen in on my Christmas 2021 Roundup with Maddie Rudawski. Maddie and I share our overall impressions of the Christmas 2021 crop of movies, and our thoughts on the best movies, the most disappointing movies, and of course, our favorite movies! Since I love libraries, I snuck in a few questions about the state of libraries in 2021, and her answers are fascinating. I know you'll enjoy this conversation!

Join me for this lovely conversation with actor, writer, and director Neal Bledsoe. In this episode, Neal and I discuss his career as a storyteller, the history of the song Auld Lang Syne, while watching football is hard for us, and so much more. We end by previewing "The Winter Palace" - Neal's upcoming movie with Danica McKellar, airing this Saturday, January 8th at 8pm on GAC Family (and streaming on IMDBtv, Peacock, and more!). 

Listen in on this conversation with Dr. Bola. We discuss her job as a pediatric palliative care doctor, and how her job and her experiences with patients and families have shaped her outlook on finding Hope and making meaning in life. It's a really moving, informative, and lovely conversation, and I hope that you enjoy it. Trigger warning: this episode discusses several heavy topics including sickness, hospital stays, and death.

Listen in on this delightful conversation with Dr. Anika Schenck-Fontaine! Anika is a fellow Christmas movie lover, a German, an American, and a BRILLIANT, thoughtful, and funny woman. We talk about growing up in Germany, compare Christmas experiences on both sides of the Atlantic, and why we love Christmas movies so much. It's a great episode, and I'm excited for you to listen in!
