Customer Reviews
A Friend in Me
If you enjoy Pixar movies and love God, this podcast is for you. If a particular episode runs longer than the time for in a single sitting, you can always come back to it or skip ahead to the sections that interest you. It has a neat structure as the host Porter has a different friend converse with him for each Pixar film. ( the shows go in order of when the films were produced/distributed) it is helpful to view the movie before listening. Lots of interesting insights into friendship, culture and theological messages. Listen with a friend! There are bonus episodes for those who support the pod.
A friend indeed

Excellent and Fun!
