Being invited into the homes of others and sitting at their tables for conversation has transformed our hearts, and we believe it will transform yours, too. So we offer you a seat — and a window — into our lives. We have seen how God has worked in us by bringing certain people to our tables. It isn’t about agreeing, in fact we often won’t, it’s about knowing God’s word and being open to conversation. So take a seat...you can sit with us.

"Girl Out of Order" (G.O.O.O.) was birthed from a fierce desire to inspire and equip women to more fully embrace their unique selves and stop trying to fit into someone else’s mold. We tackle any topic that touches, impacts and changes the lives of women. Nothing is off-limits! On G.O.O.O., you can (& must) show up as you are, BUT, be prepared to leave inspired & equipped to never again deny a single part of your beautiful self in the quest to fit in.

Get ready for some real, raw, and honest conversations designed to unlock the unlimited potential of female humans.

Listen as two old friends and collaborators gradually fashion a podcast from nothing but their shared history by gently agitating whatever enters their field of perception, watching for some meaning or significance to eventually come tumbling out. Avenues of inquiry include, but are not limited to, their mutual hometown of Chicago, experimental theatre, the current cultural and political climate in the U.S. and Europe, and just what this podcast is all about, anyway. Occasionally some humor also arises. Aaron Kahn co-hosts (and produces) from his home in Paris, Ira S. Murfin co-hosts from Chicago.

"The World According to Us" offers two unique perspectives on News and Lifestyle issues that touch our lives daily. While Gary R'nel and Kathleen Maloney offer distinctly differing opinions on just about everything, there is one common denominator that both agree on: The show needs to be both Entertaining and Informative. It is not a lecture on the way you should think! Well, maybe on occasion. Our segment, "The Odd & the Offbeat," features our reaction to lifestyle issues and the sometimes bizarre. And, you might react by thinking that Gary or Kathleen's reaction to everyday life is somewhat bizarre. "The World According to Us" is the Left, the Right and Moderate, perfectly ensconced in an engaging venue. Successful hosts are known for their distinctive perspectives. R’nel & Maloney offer colorful personalities that have consistently engaged audiences. Step into our world!
