I'm Holly Mackle - join me as I ask quirky questions of notable normals. Maybe you've heard what your favorite creatives are working on, but it's outright fun to hear about their most-texted emoji, what they put in their Costco buggy, or the last time they had a dance party.

  1. Annie B. Jones Dipped Out on the Family Group Chat

    Annie B. Jones Dipped Out on the Family Group Chat

    Look, Annie B. Jones is a terrible texter and a recent understander of muting a text conversation--so she totally didn't mean to announce to everyone that she was leaving the family. Join Holly as she and Annie talk pet words, the evolution of one of Isaac's nicknames *that we all have to ensure has an end point,* and how they're missing the days when everyone was just having fun on the internet. Joe Burrow will make an appearance. So will Nicole Conrad, Charles Martin, Laura Tremaine, and Kristen Suzanne. Hannah Rosenberg: you do not want to miss this episode. Annie's book, Ordinary Time, was one of Holly's 5-star reads in 2025 and it's out in paperback in April. You can find Annie's newsletter, Sunday Porch Visits, here, as well as her super popular podcast, From the Front Porch. If you're near Thomasville, Georgia, you don't want to miss a stop by The Bookshelf, but if you're not so fortunate as to find yourself nearby, then you can find Annie on Instagram on her personal page, The Bookshelf's page, or on her private book recommendations Instagram. Just a reminder that the nickname "Tubby Teddy" must have an end point.

    Chris Van Dusen and the Tropical Fruit Festival

    Ayuh, it's a wicked good time with author, illustrator and beloved Maine resident Chris Van Dusen. He and Holly will talk all things Maine license plate, memorable sunburns, kid mobsters, and how his books make the world shine.

So will Chris' older brother, Mr. Magee, who just so happens to be fresh off his camping spree.

    Lauren Washer Makes Biscuits for Chris Pratt

    Hide your quarters--Lauren Washer is on Unseriously. It's a late-night Waffle House run with mom of 6, wife of Chris Pratt, author, women's ministry director, and all-around delightful person, Lauren Washer. She and Holly will talk about that durn door, the Washer family's incredible Waffle House ordering skills, and uninhibited fandom of others. Lauren will offer deep wisdom on loving others well in the church, at home, and how, "You can always make biscuits"--which Holly would like to go on record as stating should be the title of Lauren's next book. Amen. You can find Lauren's latest from P&R Publishing, What to Say When She Thinks Her Husband Isn't a Good Spiritual Leader here, and also find Lauren on Instagram, where she is one of Holly's favorite follows.

  7. Kelly Kapic Is Not a Lady

    Kelly Kapic Is Not a Lady

    Our first weekly episode of Unseriously is such a treat--join Holly as she asks author and theology professor Dr. Kelly Kapic about keeping his students on their toes, hears how he (regularly) gets schooled by his brilliant wife, and expresses her gratitude for not making the subtitle of his new book, "Hey, Holly! This one's for you!" This is also the episode where Collin Hansen is going to get name-dropped like three times. Kelly's devotional version of You're Only Human is called You Were Never Meant to Do It All, and was a 5-star read for Holly in 2025, easily making Kelly Kapic one of Holly's favorite Kellys. To the dismay of his many publishers, Kelly is not on the socials, but you can find him at his newly-agreed upon mandatory website, kellykapic.com.
