Come with us to August of 2023 for this wonderful episode about introverts. It was a single twin week as Leslie was on vacation! This time, Lynne cohosts with Elicia Marie, friend of the show and past guest, as they welcome Melvin Edwards to the show to talk about introverts, their image in pop culture, and how being one is part of who he is. We talk superheroes, sensitive kids, and letting your people find you.

Melvin E. Edwards is a 6th-generation Texan, who was an award-winning newspaper reporter and columnist before entering the colorful and ambitious world of Texas politics. He started his career writing about Texas high school football and within a few short years, he was a speechwriter for the Lieutenant Governor and Governor of Texas.

He has written two award-winning books tracing generations of his Texas family back to its Republic of Texas days, making him one of the first African-American members of the Sons of the Republic of Texas.

He has the rarest Myers-Briggs personality type in the world (INFJ), which could explain why he loves cowboy boots, hats, and baseball, and can imagine stories so big, they make even Texas seem small.

Hellboy (2019) with Jon Bonjour

Join us for this delightful episode where we talk the 2019 cinematic remake of "Hellboy" with our guest, artist Jon Bonjour. This was a really fun one.

Jon says:

Hi! I'm Jon! I'm an illustrator, graphic designer, and storyteller with the life goal of spreading love through creativity!

Comic book, storyboard, children’s book, and coloring book art have been my focus for over a decade. I am published as both a writer and an artist of children’s books and graphic novels, a passion that was sparked when I picked up my first comic book (Amazing Spider-Man Issue #378) at a garage sale at age 10.

My mission is to display God through stories. I see art not as an expression of myself, but as a gift given to me to steward. I am honored to have the opportunity.
