The Prayer Chain Podcast

This episode is about about a mystery that happened about 20 minutes from our hometown. The story of the missing Sodder children is still unsolved and will leave you in sadness and total bewilderment. Listen to hear the tragic tale about this Southern West Virginian family.
Trigger warning: House fires, infant death, missing children. 

Someone on Facebook wants Suzie to buy a grill, Sarah is officiating a wedding and doesn't know what to wear, and Kati loves cheese dip. This episode we answer some super random questions. Listen to find out why Suzie is sneaking into a Taco Bell late at night!

Summer is here and we have a bunch of nonsense to talk about. Are there any standing Long John Silver's that have been built in the new millennia? Sarah has a theory about Michael Jackson that will blow your socks off. Suzie's granny has been reading some romance novels and is blurring the lines between fantasy and reality.

There is some strange news a brewin' on our local facebook. It may or may not have to do with a creepy white van...Anyways..Kati found out something interesting about her heritage and decided to dig into it on this week's episode. Tune into find out who the heck Abner Vance was!

This is a very exciting episode where we compare two different trips taken by Suzie and Kati. Suzie went to a taxidermy museum and Kati went to see the Sistine Chapel. Besides that we go down a checklist to see how Italy stacks up against Kentucky.

We are 2 years old...and then some. Our podcast passed the 2 year mark and can you believe it? We're still here! Thanks to everyone who has supported us for two years!!  Someone else's birthday is coming up...Trigger warning: if you were traumatized by those Six Flags commercials you might hate this episode. Breaker breaker 1-9 Suzie hates the grass..over.  Ludacris is coming to the fair and you know we are going. 

Who is going to the science fair?? Not us, that's who! We decided to talk about some of our favorite assignments from school. Does anyone remember that kid that put an egg in vinegar? Sarah cooked a hotdog in a shoe box and read one book. Kati says kids always cried in speech class. Suzie loves dioramas...not to be confused with diarrhea...which she is also familiar with.

Quit playing games with our heart!! We talk about where we have been on our hiatus. Our prayer requests involve some silly little animal stories. Suzie sees a suicidal squirrel every day and is concerned. Sarah enlightens us as to why churches have steeples. 

This episode we talk about our favorite games from our childhood. Connect 4, Operation, Mad Gab, Guess Who...you get it! Listen to hear us be stupid as usual.

Bonus content: prank calls!

We have some super silly shares with our prayer requests. Easter = Church Prom. Has Easter Sunday ever really been the same since Payless closed? Sarah is pretty good with a slingshot, turns out. Kati's grandma shares a little Appalachian remedy for a tummy ache. 

Sarah takes us on an excursion into the dark depths of the earth. Some of y'all may have heard about Lost World Caverns or even....Batboy?? Well, get ready to hear some facts you've never heard in your life! This is a very fun AND stupid episode, as usual. WE DISCUSS THE WEIRDEST GUINNESS WORLD RECORD THAT WAS SET INSIDE THE CAVE!
 

You got yourself a fishin' license? Listen to us tell our famous fish tales. Great fish content coming atcha! Get it while its hot! Suzie likes to keep her bait in her pocket, Sarah's pawpaw is a pro, and Kati saved a fish in an igloo cooler to take it to the bar to show her mom. Stuff you just gotta hear to believe. Listen now.

Sarah didn't know Kati had bangs...should we be worried?? Suzie is the queen of finding funny bumper stickers. What is the most "poplar" tree?? So many mushrooms so little time. Listen to us talk about mushrooms and edible flowers. Is it the partridge family or a partridge berry?? 

One of the worst intros ever made ever...Then, immediately Kati and Sarah share with the audience their newest performance piece that Sarah appropriately titles "Bumpin' Uglies"...  This episode is about generations. The gang discusses what makes them millennials. Is it better to pay for ad-free or just deal with the ads??  
"Pro tip: just get on yer phone when its a commercial."

Sarah gets us start with a very interesting question in our prayer requests. Kati has been speaking some weird language that is confusing everyone she interacts with.  Suzie may or may not have racked up some serious library fees during the pandemic. We reenact a comedic whisper fight that Kati got in one time. Then, we get into a deep discussion on our favorite MLMS! Pampered chef and Home Interior, we're looking at you! 

Sarah recently got an audiobook by Fifty Cent and that is the most light hearted part of this episode. In this Prayer Chain Investigates, Suzie tells a sinister story about a letter writing Romeo that turns out to be an actual monster in West Virginia. "That was a DM back 'en." Listen to this twisted tale of the despicable, vile, and disgusting; Harry Powers. 

Trigger warning: although we do not go into detail this story does involve murder, death, hangings.

What is love? Baby, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me, no more. This Valentine's day episode is wild and loose! I'm talkin' out of control.  Sarah gets us an EXPLOSIVE little valentine. We review the lyrics of Seal's smash hit "Kissed By A Rose".  Who else misses Rock Of Love?!

You know what Drake said about love...

Since one of us recently sustained an injury we recount some of our favorite sufferings. We're talking briar patches, metal slides, bike riding, skiing, and anything you can think of.  Trigger warning: INJURIES. Suzie took over saying "literally" so Kati didn't have to cringe every time she said it herself. Trampolines are death traps. Also, Suzie has LITERALLY no idea how old she is. HA!! 

Wow, we're back from our sabbatical! We got a lot to catch up on and some super silly "pear" requests. Something's got Sarah smiling...Kati met Pauly Shore and Suzie is making some really funny sound effects, with her butt. Do you wish that farts didn't stink? If you missed the drama of the best hotdogs in WV, you missed some real exciting Facebook comments.  Why did we love tanning beds and laser pointers so much in the 90's?? One of us might be faceblind...idk you tell me! Chris Gaines narrating a nature documentary is a thing.

Bare with this live audio feed from our second ever live show! Listen to us sing some holiday songs and make fools of ourselves, as usual. Find out what we're seeing on the internet lately, hint: Suzie's recommended videos on facebook are a decorated gross-fest.  Is grandma got run over by a reindeer problematic? Kati was under the impression that it was. The gang discusses our favorites holiday do's and do nots! The contrast between our childhood is a fun conversation topic as we compare our fortunes and misfortunes. We play several games including one we appropriately call "Christmas Potato". Sarah has everyone shake hands like they do in our regular Sundy Service.  Bonus: Kati does her famous Arnold impersonation and we absolutely butcher Jingle Bells on the recorder that leaves one member of the audience plugging her ears in dismay!

Thanks to all attendees & everyone who made this live show possible. Thanks to Folklore Music Exchange for having us. And thanks for listening to this unhinged audio!! As always one share = one prayer!!  

Time to defrost your windows, do you wait or risk it? The dangers of winter are among us! Suzie's all hammed up, Sarah's in a different kind of spirit, and is there egg in eggnog?? We do some random Christmas Trivia in this episode and it is a litttttle bit silly. We open a gift from one of our listeners, Gabi Cooper @gpc_art_wv, and it makes us sooo happy!! Tune in to find out where candy canes come from and to listen to Suzie butcher a bunch of Christmas traditions that we have never heard of.
