Amanda Cleary Eastep & The Tree Street Kids

So you think you're too grown up for #kidlit, do you now? Well, think again, my friend, cause once you hear this thoroughly delightful Misfit conversation with Amanda Eastep Cleary, Senior Developmental Editor at Moody Publishing, and a fine author in her own right... you'll abandon all such foolish notions. And then, if you know what's good for you, you'll immediately run out and get her two new releases: "Jack vs. the Tornado" and "The Hunt for Fang".

Hope In The Madness, Part 4: Weakness

Bob Redd's back for a powerful discussion on weakness (see what we did there?) in our final episode of our Madness series.

Hope In Madness, Part 3: Sadness

Don't worry. Be happy. You'll get none of that trite nonsense in today's episode (no offense, Bobby McFarrin). We all get sad sometimes. There's no getting around it. But what do we do with it? How do we navigate through it, without getting swallowed up in it? Bob Redd's back for episode 3 in our Hope in the Madness series, with a helpful conversation on what to do, and how to get through the sadness of life.

Hope In The Madness, Part 2: Angriness

Bob Redd is back for the second of our four part series, to talk about what's got everyone so angry, what's behind it... and what do we do about it?

Hope In Madness, Part 1: Craziness (with Bob Redd)

In this first of our first ever 4 part series, we're kicking off the series with the help of chemist/entrepreneur/consultant/all around SMART guy Bob Redd, and a really rich discussion of cuh-razy topics (literally), ranging from what do we even MEAN by "crazy" anymore to the difference between scanning vs. understanding, relative vs. relevant and who knows what other pertinent alliterations. I'm just telling you, it's good stuff. And you should listen. After all, you've come this far.

Rachel Dodge: A Kindred Spirit Near You

It's ALL ANNE ALL THE TIME as Rachel Dodge joins us for a delightful chat about kindred spirits, speculating how Anne would creatively handle the Covid lockdowns... and the story of how this iconic story almost didn't get published (can you even imagine such a world?).

Allen Arnold: Chaos Can’t

We may have just fixed all the problems with this super fun and uber insightful conversation with Allen Arnold, from Wild at Heart Ministries. All that, and a mash up of Barry Manilow AND Earth, Wind & Fire!
