  • julia wrote a book!!!!!! jeremy wore a sparkly shirt!!!!!

    This podcast is about how Julia wrote a book and has been in America promoting the book. Jeremy is a newsreader who you always thought might have some opinions. Jeremy thinks Julia is awesome because she wrote a book that got published and Julia went to America to promote the published book. So, if you like Jeremy talking about Julia and Julia talking about Julia, and then Jeremy and Julia talking about what other people think and say .... you will love this. It's great.

  • Surname

    The English royal family surname was changed from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor.

    I don’t blame them for going it alone considering all the scandals of the English Royals.

  • Gender and church attendance

    Love this podcast and listen regularly! This one was pretty simplistic though. I’m male, Christian for 40 yrs. “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” Eph 5:25 That is, die for her, self sacrifice for her. Not a power trip… mutual submission. Mark Driscoll totally discredited now btw. Check influence of Jordan Peterson on young men, particularly in nth America.
