This is Radio Cast with Jay Bakker

"I’ve been speaking and preaching for over 20 years and over that time I’ve met a lot of interesting people. But I rarely have the opportunity to actually talk with those interesting people - about everything from their thoughts on religion, to their childhoods, to what’s on their Netflix queue. This podcast will let me do that. Think Marc Maron meets Brennan Manning if they were raised by Tammy Faye." -- Jay Bakker

Most people don't trust their own spouse with their money. This group of four women living in South Minneapolis share every penny they make. They call their home "The W.O.M.B."
These four women earn different amounts of money, have different careers, backgrounds, and student loans. But everything they make goes into one account, and what they take out is meticulously budgeted and its use voted on. And a large portion of their money goes back into their community, either through non-profits or small businesses.  “The money is never really ours," says Emma, a founding member.
"It’s just in our hands for a little bit and we redirect it to where it needs to go.”

In this week's episode, Jay talks with April Richardson, one of the comedians behind Chelsea Lately and the new TruTV show Almost Genius. Last year, April did a comedy tour called "Louder Than Bombing," in which she followed Morrissey as he toured the US, doing stand up in every city he stopped in and going to all of his shows.
Jay and April talk about living in Atlanta in the 90's, why pastors are like comedians, and, of course, a lot about Morrissey.
You can follow April on Twitter (@apey) and Instagram (aprilrich), both of which we would highly recommend.

Lydia and Jay discuss the early years of Revolution. Lydia, now an artist, met Jay when he was passing out fliers for his tiny congregation at clubs in Atlanta. In the fifteen years since, they have put on sermons at punk rock venues, seen marriages bloom and then fall apart, and supported each other through their mothers’ deaths.

Todd Melby spent years in the oilfields of North Dakota, documenting the boom—and eventually, the bust—of the industry. During that time, he created radio stories for NPR and Prairie Public, and a series of documentaries for PBS. In this week’s episode, Jay speaks with Todd about what drew him to this subject, his experimental approach to journalism, and why North Dakota is the most dangerous place for people to work in America.

You can explore "Oil To Die For," Todd's interactive documentary, at http://blackgoldboom.com/oil-to-die-for/.
