c & A Podcast
by Aubrie Howell and Kathleen Rawlinson
Two unlikely friends came together and found that even though they have polar opposite belief systems they actually like each other. The former Christian, Aubrie asked Kathleen, a known atheist to join her in a fun podcast idea. Through the years of producing content, they've found their groove with sharing stories, having authors on, and exploring different belief systems together. There is a fun aspect with the Morning Shows that shares our lives and in season 2 we added Mormon topics because Kathleen grew up Mormon and she tells us everything we wanted to know and didn't know we needed.
