Let’s Talk About It is a podcast where Malcolm and Micah Morgan discuss life in three segments: Relationships, Entertainment, and Faith in Context. The relationship segment involves an exploration of the growth, the challenges, and the joys of relationships-- whether it’s romantic, platonic, or familial relationships. During the entertainment segment, the Morgans discuss shows that they’re binge-watching, shows they’re avoiding, and movies they just can’t wait to tell us about. The faith in context segment examines hot topics of the day through the context of Christian faith. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry… we may even grow a little. But let’s talk about it.
