PODCAST: How would you like to have your very own sparkle box???

Dreams come true here on the Isle of Misfits. And I’m not talking about the weird ones, like where one minute you’re in your kitchen eating breakfast and the next you’ve morphed into an episode of the Flintsones, baking gravelberry pies with Wilma and Betty (oh, you’ve had that dream, too?)… I’m talking about The […]

Sometimes things go kerflewey. Sorry to use such strong language there, but I have to tell it like it is… Like today, for example. I had this interview with Stasi Eldredge. And boy was it a good one. We talked about her new book “Defiant Joy”… Oh, the talking we did. The laughter we shared. […]

PODCAST- Getting Into the Thick of It, with Jason Cruise

Maybe you’ve seen him on the Sportsman Channel… but today’s he’s here, with us Misfits, which, when you think about it, is its own kind of sporting event… taking our TV dads quiz, giving us the scoop on Lawn Mower parents, and talking about what it means to own your own convictions when it comes […]
