Text us here! Hershall, today I had a very needful conversation with a pastor friend of mine, Rev. Doug Hash. He is a grief counselor and he shares with us some very practical things that help us in dealing with grief. There are over 40 different kinds of losses that a person can experience that can cause grief. Rev. Hash gives us an overview of the points that he uses in The Grief Recovery Program to assist people that are working through the grieving process. This may not be a conversation tha...

Text us here! Hershall, on this final day of November, I approach this episode with shamefacedness (KJV big word meaning ashamed). As our title suggests, there were wardrobe malfunctions mentioned on today's episode. It was included in the feedback portion and as you will find, it was NEWS to us then and only then.... We also talked about how the Songleader and your Humble Poderator made unusual allowances in our homes. Among other topics discussed were: coyote consumption and horse briskets. In...

Text us here! Hershall, Happy Thanksgiving week! We are so glad you are still here with us for another week, and what a week it is... we told you already but we are still excited about the new merchandise at podnme.org so go check that out! On todays show, we discussed so much stuff that I can't even recall what all was said. Dink Burbank started us off today and things went downhill from there. We talked about Ostrich ugliness, Brad being a cat... well... he was accused of being a cat lover aft...

Text us here! Hersh, we are so glad you are tuning in to Pod'N Me still... You being a long time listener of the show, will not be disconcerted (big word for perturbed) at what goes on today. We started by having our very own Rev. Josh Smith to tell about a painful (big word for harrowing) tale (*or tail) of a recent hunting excursion in the state of Georgia. Deacon Dustin recounted a story of a piece of our past where we explored the idea of what R.I.P. looks like for each of us. We also had so...

Text us here! Hershall, It was a complete surprise to hear that you were running... Leave it to our news reporter, Dink Burbank to bring us that... or did he? Anyhow it's always a pleasure to hear from you. We also had some wonderful conversation on the rest of the episode with the Deacon and Songleade. Brad pulled over someone in his grammar police car and we heard that this is now a 25 star ⭐️ podcast! We also discuss the fact that buzz word Christianity doesn't work. Thanks for listening! Sup...

Text us here! Hersh, thanks for what you do... you're always conspicuous (big word for showing up) here to listen every week and we certainly appreciate it! We had some mostly underwhelming things happen today on Pod'N Me, but as the title states, our very own Mr. Burbank is out on location getting some hard hitting news and had a complete breakdown ON AIR! We have some great topics today along the way that include: Biblical pronunciations, Bro. Dustin's illegal turnarounds, Ramen noodle endorse...

Text us here! Hershall, we have a real treat for you today. Instead of a regular first of the month interview, I decided to release some raw cuts of a segment we do on Pod'N me on a regular basis. It is a glimpse (big word for look) of what it's like to put together the Basement Bargains with Elder Ronnie (yours truly) and Sis. Connie (Josh Smith). Rev. Josh also does the voice of Pastor Throgmartin on this episode... Enjoy! I hope you have a wonderful November! -Devin B. Birdsong Support the sh...

Text us here! Hershall, It is a historic day here on Pod'N Me. We have a fan-tastic hostess today. She is no stranger to Pod'N Me. She has even been a guest on here before... Typing of guests, I along with my cohorts (big word for band of companions), Bro. Dustin and Bro. Brad, was privileged to be sitting in the guest seats on the show... You read it correctly, we were the guests on Sis. Odie's show today. This episode is a bit lengthy but it is not going to disappoint. I mean after all, our Su...

Text us here! Hershall, this is the longest episode yet of Pod'N Me but, I think you will completely understand why... given the fact that we upgraded the sound equipment in Studio 4. I do think that a parental warning is advised on one particular portion of the program when, as the title so amply (big word for plentifully) describes, a childhood story is told by our very own Dink Burbank, there is a SCARY voice that is used. It is at the 24 minute mark... you've been warned. I just casually men...

Text us here! Folks, (started off with a Dink Burbank salutation) I'm glad you're here today and if you see Hershall, give him a big word of encouragement! He listens every week and deserves a big 'Thank You' for his contribution, for without him, Pod'N Me would just be 3 guys sitting in a room talking into microphones (big word for mics) and recording their conversations which aren't really worth listening to in. the first place. Case in point: today we started with an unusual intro and immedia...

Text us here! What elation (big word for joy) it was to have you in the virtual service today, Hershall. We are always grateful to hear your voice and to hear that you are doing well. You did an outstanding job reading the feedback and gave our Songleader a rest for this week in that particular category. We talked about a plethora (big word meaning a lot) of diverse (big word) topics here including: Count- airy music, calculator deaths and the accuracy of the eyesight of a female deer.... I know...

Text us here! Hershall, It was one of my great honors today to get to interview this brother and sister team. Bro. Richard and Sis. Sandy Blythe of The Blythe Family have been traveling and singing with their family for many years. They both have a vital role in the ministry through their singing and songwriting. We first talked today about how their methods of ministry took a turn a couple of years ago when the world changed. They found a new way to connect with people and were a great encourag...

Text us here! Hersh, What a start! I mean to this episode... Our news correspondent went to London... I said it, Dink Burbank went to LONDON! Hershall, I hope you are still a listener at this point. We have many times over on this virtual trash pile, had wrecks and today was no exception (big word). We moved through the hard hitting topics today. During the feedback we were reprimanded (big word for corrected with words) for not filtering out feedback from a previous episode, as well as for our ...

Text us here! Hershall, We had a few things to take care of prior (big word for just before) we arrived at our subject matter. As usual, we managed to cover several topics on throughout the feedback portion of the episode. After Dink Burbank brought us the news, we settled in on a topic that we haven't covered on Pod'N Me. We have incorporated many different things about songs and music but never have we told about songs that bring conviction. Hopefully, we can continue this conversation in a fu...

Text us here! Hershall, I did my level best to straighten out the employees (unpaid) of Pod'N Me (big word meaning junk pile). It was to little avail (big word meaning work). We did manage to have some very hard topics brought up in the course of conversation. Among those were: the pronunciation of tortillas, a bit of Spanish from the Deacon, a harrowing (a big word with meaning unknown to the editor) tale of a poor vacuum cleaner sales person. We also talked some very current events and learned...

Text us here! Hershall, this is once again a historic (big word meaning horrific) day for Pod'N Me. As you very well know, this program has been built on the reliability and consistency of the perfect attendance of me, the virtual pastor. I am freely admitting my fallibility (big word meaning tendency to make a mistake). I was not able to attend the service here today and we have on our hands a situation where the inmates are running the prison so to speak. Our virtual Songleader Brad and our be...

Text us here! Hersh, we did something different than we've ever done... we recorded in two locations. When our guest and I sat down to record at another location (Gilbertown, AL), we had some technical issues and couldn't finish the episode. So, we recorded the intro and the final part in studio 4 with our virtual Songleader and Virtual Deacon being present... well, you'll see. There have been a few times over the history of this podcast that I could feel the presence of the Lord during the reco...

Text us here! Hershall, we could be embarking (big word sounding like a contemplative dog, but meaning about to start) on one of the most random and possibly the most detrimental (big word meaning hazardous and harmful) episodes ever on Pod'N Me. Things got so out of hand by the end of the episode that our very own beloved Deacon Dustin actually walked off the set. (Programming Note: The Pod'N Me Corporation is in negotiations -big word but who's counting- with him to see if he'll consider stayi...

Text us here! Hershall, as you know, because we talked to you on this episode, our fearless, Songleader is back! (👏) We are so glad that the myth was debunked (big work meaning un-bunked) that Bro. Brad had to be rehabilitated (big word meaning restored to a former state) because of his song choices... it was just a vacation that caused his absence. We had a great visit with you, Hersh. It had been a while since we had heard from you. Also, our Songleader came in strong at the end of one of my ...

Text us here! Hershall, today we had to do what we are calling a Friend-tervention (big compound word meaning to intervene for a close companion). I'll let the episode speak for itself but we had an absence that couldn't be filled but it's not a permanent (big word meaning fixed in stone) thing. We had the normal feedback and all around wonderful commentary that you've come to expect here on Pod'N Me. Should you desire to be a part of the feedback, feel free to correspond with us via email: devi...

Text us here! Hershall, grab your thermos (big word for insulated cup), fill it with your drink of choice (non-intoxicating) and bask (bid word meaning revel in) in the words of our listeners. Bro. Brad, our fearless song leader deserves a metal for what happened on Pod'N Me today. While reading feedback he, was tasked with reading the longest joke ever broadcasted here on Pod'N Me. We even felt like Pink Burbank had written. We had the normal well respected and well expected portions of the pro...

Text us here! Hershall, for the second week running we had a guest in the studio. As I said last week, we have my second son, Brooks S. Birdsong on Pod'N Me. We settled some HUGE (big word) topics: Extra Cri-Crisp-Christy Fries, Hamburgers, hip mounted sunglass cases, cellphone cases & Bluetooth devices... It was a roller coaster of emotions as I experienced several times where I had to grapple (big word meaning struggle without weapons) with the idea of ending this trash heap of a podcast. ...

Text us here! Hershall, today we had two very special guests on Pod'N Me. It's always an honor to hear the perspective of the ministry from a preacher's kid. This time one of those was your very own daughter Bryanna and her close friend Alivya Isaacs. Alivya's father was a guest on this podcast back in January on episode 86. Both ladies offers their idea of what the perfect evangelist would be and all along the way they gave some harrowing tales of their many experiences as PK's. We also found o...

I talked my two eldest offspring (big word meaning children) into being guests on Pod'N Me. The first one is my first born, Britton D. Birdsong. He is a fine young man of who I am very proud. We had all of the regular segments of the podcast today such as Dink Burbank's News, feedback, and some jokes. We did a segment where Britton & Songleader Brad shared some of their favo...

Text us here! Heshall, today it happened... one our feed-backers finally gave this show the description that says it best... hence (big word meaning consequently) the title: "Dearest Men of This Thing." I think that pretty much sums up Pod'N Me. Along the way we manage to have some other important things to talk about such as: hymnals and hernals, lint brushes and curry combs, amongst (bigger word than the root word among) other riveting topics. Our news anchor Dink Burbank delivered his news fl...

Text us here! Hershall, you'll have to cut us some slack today, we were tired.... That doesn't mean that we didn't do our very best or that you were short-changed (compound word meaning treated unfairly) in any way. We still were somehow able to fulfill our great obligation to the friends and/or foes of Pod'N Me. I way say (or type) that we did change the format quite a bit by starting out with a song and going directly into the message so to speak (or type). It got serious while we talked about...

Text us here! Hello Hershall, we had a wonderful time today talking all things youth-camp (two words meaning work). We checked in, via the telephonic (big sounding word) device, with a long time friend and one time fill-in of Pod'N Me, youth pastor Matthew Wilson. We talked about how much he would like to be a star... I mean part of the show and also managed to discuss some youth camp stuff. We heard from the news desk of anchor Dink Burbank. He has been a popular addition to Pod'N Me. We talked...

Text us here! Hershall, Thanks for stopping in again to listen to the program. We went off of the rails a time or two but managed as we try to get back on track. We had the normal stuff you've come to expect from Pod'N Me along with some "not so normal" inclusions (big sounding word that means 'things included'). I’m referring to the Deacon and I gave the entire globe a mostly accurate reenactment (big word that I won't even act like I know) of what it's like to preach with an interpreter. It wa...
