The Speakeasy
The Speakeasy Podcast is a place to have underground conversations out loud. Whether we’re diving into theology, politics, culture, real life, or the way they often all intersect, we’re going to do it together, with kindness and curiosity. Hosted by Blake Guichet (known as @thegirlnamedblake online) - the best-selling author, Instagrammer, wife, & homeschool mom - the Speakeasy has a place for you, if you want it. The Speakeasy Podcast was formerly the Confessions of Crappy Christian Podcast.
