The Big Boo Cast
Authors / speakers Melanie Shankle and Sophie Hudson - also known as Big Mama and BooMama on their blogs - talk about all the important stuff: faith, family, friends, football, fashion, and food. Plus, of course, their hair.

Two things right off the bat:

1. We're so happy that our good friend Travis Cottrell (aka FryDaddy) is with us on this episode of the podcast. It's been way too long. I would love to tell you that we've been ironing out the details for months, but the fact of the matter is that we sort of pulled it all together about 9 o'clock Sunday night (please remember that this is nothing if not a fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants operation). But oh my goodness - it is always the most fun to talk and laugh with Travis. Yay.

2. When I was editing I became aware of an issue we had the last time we recorded a three-person podcast - and that is that my microphone sounds way louder than everybody else. So please know that it was never my intention to scream at you.

Other than that, we cover all manner of topics: what we're cooking this Christmas, the music of Bruno Mars (we were specifically talking about "Uptown Funk," but I accidentally cut out the part where I said the name of the song), everything we adore about Jimmy Fallon, the wonder that is Amy Grant (seriously - this comes up in EVERY SINGLE PODCAST), our Christmas plans, the holiday music of Neil Diamond, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

Hope y'all enjoy it - and Merry Christmas, everybody!

I will warn you that we talk about our dogs a whole lot on this one.

We also talk about Melanie's far-reaching knowledge about back pain, Christy Nockels' upcoming worship concert, our nostalgia for the 70s, decorating for Christmas, college football, coaching searches, TV, and who knows what else. 

Let me put it this way: when I texted Mel to tell her that the podcast ended up being over 50 minutes, she said, "That's a whole lot of nothin'."

And to that I say "amen."

Enjoy, y'all!
