Buffet Catholics, Coming Out Experiences, & Chosen Family

In the second episode of Sisters to Sisters, Izzy invites Emily and Alan back for another round of interviews. Emily showcases what religion looks like for her since leaving St. Veronica’s and highlights different kinds of parishioners, including “C.E.O.”s and so-called “Buffet Catholics.” In the latter half of the episode, Alan outlines his coming out experiences and shares his perspective on the significance of chosen family. // This episode was produced as a final project for The Art of Podcasting course offered through the University of Florida.
