Summary
In December 1955, the menacing red phone on Air Force Col. Harry Shoup’s desk rang. But it wasn’t the Pentagon – no four-star general either. It was a tiny voice asking for Santa Claus. What happened next would kick off one of Colorado’s most-beloved Christmas traditions.

Don't Panic! with Adam W. Warner
Don't Panic! is a podcast about Life, the Universe and Everything. Adam is a digital business owner and Dad trying to manage it all and keep everyone happy, including himself.And yes, he realizes the significance of starting this podcast at age 42 and has the tattoos to prove it.Why a Podcast?PersonalI used to consider myself an artist. I used to write poetry, draw, paint and create things that didn't previously exist.

The VoxPopcast
Vox Populorum
We’ve all had a discussion or an argument about popular culture. Sometimes it happens on Facebook, Tumblr or Twitter. Maybe it was in a literature, history, philosophy or psychology class in college. Perhaps it was at the local comic book shop. Or maybe it was at a bar and you ended up stabbing someone with a bottle or bludgeoning them with a pool cue. All of these discussions are exactly the same.

Every Step of the Way
Every Step of the Way
Is a discussion forum podcast hosted by a group of twelve brothers that share scriptures, share the gospel, and tie it into real life situations. The idea for this show got started by a Facebook post that was exchanged by two members. The show originally began exclusively on Facebook live and quickly started to gain traction. With the Show popularity growing, the number of group members rose from 3 to 12. In February 2021, (three months before the show’s 1 year anniversary), the group was approached with the idea about becoming a Podcast. In the spring of 2021, Every Step of the Way Bible Discussions officially became a Podcast and is now a part of the Vision Live Network. The show airs once a week on Wednesdays at 8pm and is now available everywhere Podcast can be found.
