In this episode, we welcome our FIRST GUESTS.
Now, we didn’t want to start small. We wanted to go big… so our guests today are Mike Nawrocki and Steve Taylor. Both are legends in the entertainment world – Mike is a co-creator of VeggieTales and the voice of Larry The Cucumber. Steve is a musician and producer who’s worked with The Newsboys and Sixpence None The Richer.
If you loved VeggieTales LIKE WE DID (and our kids do), you’re going to love what these guys are working on. The next great Biblically-based series for kids… The Dead Sea Squirrels. We discuss what that is, how they’ll make it happen (how you can help!), and Leeann does an impromptu audition for a voiceover character on the series. DOES SHE SINK OR SAIL? Listen to find out!
