This podcast is engaging, worthwhile, and FUN. Keep it up, Andrews fam!
I appreciate the discussion from a Christian perspective, but Emily’s vocal fry is almost unbearable. I’m sorry, but someone has to say it.
Andrews clan, thanks for another season to come! Y’all are always truly my favorite to listen to (a close second is the wonderful Close Reads folks). Just want to say, God bless you sweet people, and bless the winsome and edifying conversations I know are to come! Cheers from the “true North” Minnesota ;)
This has become my favorite podcast! It is both entertaining and thought provoking. I feel like I’m sitting at the family dinner table listening in, wishing I could chime in. I am eager for the next season! Thank you Andrews family!
I love the way this podcast makes me take a step back and think about the big questions in life and art. I’m so glad I found you! I loved your series on the great questions and the episode on apple picking and homeschooling.
