    300th Episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast!

    300th Episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast!

    Today is the 300th episode of the Preacher Boys Podcast, and a lot has happened since episode one…

    The podcast journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. From taking a seat with Chris Hansen to joining forces with Paris Hilton in protest to my appearance on TV in Let Us Prey: A Ministry of Scandals, the show has opened doors I never could have anticipated.

    On today’s episode, I want to take a few minutes to break down some of my favorite memories from the last couple of years – from favorite guests to favorite books – and my big goals moving forward.

    299: When Law and Order: SVU Did a Duggar Episode

    299: When Law and Order: SVU Did a Duggar Episode

    Over its impressive 26-season run, Law and Order: SVU has consistently mirrored real-life events in its gripping fictional storylines. From the Chris Brown domestic abuse case to the Casey Anthony investigation and the Michael Jackson allegations, the show has always stayed on top of the headlines.

    It should come as no surprise that, in 2015, SVU aired an episode that echoed the current headlines around one of the most popular reality TV families, The Duggars.

    Olivia Plath -- who entered public awareness through the TLC reality series Welcome to Plathville – recently sat down for an interview with Vogue Magazine. The article, Olivia Plath on Christian Fundamentalism, Welcome to Plathville, and Deconstructing, spoke to me personally as a former fundamentalist.
