    I listen to (almost) every episode. It’s so funny, I love each and every one of you. Thanks for being relatable Christians. Easton is the best and I wish he spoke more. But I also appreciate the well time snipe comments. I just read through the negative comments on the pod and all of them were straight trippin. John’s not racist, they make political jokes and hate on both sides. If you can’t take that then man up. If you can’t stand that they talk about the bible so much, grow up and find Jesus.... more

  • Love it! But there is one inaccurate take…

    Peak comedy. Favorite pod. Also in “Pat pat” you claim nobody has ever been a raging alcoholic that has maintained work and personality. I present the exception, Winston Churchill. (Just for the bit, don’t drink kids 🙂‍↔️)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jesus, Moonpies & Rocky Top (w/ Emily Ann Roberts)
Q: What do you think about my act, my whole thing?
Crist recalls advising a female comedian to dress less glamorously so audiences would find her relatable and take her comedy seriously. The discussion contrasts comedy, where looking like a superstar can make self-deprecating material less convincing, with music, where artists are expected to look glamorous.
Jesus, Moonpies & Rocky Top (w/ Emily Ann Roberts)
Q: Why do you think female country artists, the default is songs about exes and breakups?
Roberts says heartbreak is relatable and dramatic songs sell, while artists and labels often repeat formulas that have already succeeded. She says she is tired of the man-hating theme and prefers positive songs about love and relationships.
The Solution (w/ Josiah Queen)
Q: How do you balance faith-based content with broad audience appeal in your shows?
Josiah notes that his material often has Christian themes, but he aims for broad relevance and avoids preaching; the team prioritizes writing what they know and testing it in live settings to ensure accessibility across diverse audiences.
The Solution (w/ Josiah Queen)
Q: What's your approach to writing with others and handling feedback during the creative process?
He discusses writing with a small, consistent team, sharing riffs, and iterating over weeks and months; feedback is used to adjust verses, melodies, and delivery, with the understanding that some ideas will land differently across crowds and contexts.
The Solution (w/ Josiah Queen)
Q: How did you start on Winter Jam and what was that like early in your career?
Josiah describes beginning in church and youth settings, touring with limited material, and learning to test material in front of real audiences; he explains how early shows taught him to adapt and grow, including the shift from church skits to larger venues.
