The hosts of the Lutheran Ladies’ Lounge long believed there was no podcast quite like theirs … until they first met their fictional doppengängers at the Lutheran Ladies Aid Brigade on April Fools Day, 2022.
In this week’s all-new parody episode, Katie Schuermann’s madcap cast of characters (inspired by the people and places of her Anthems of Zion novels) is back, and the laughs are bigger than ever.
Join “Candice,” “Arlene,” “Rebecca,” “Beverly,” and “Nettie” — along with cameo appearances by Lauren Braaten and Adriane Heins — as they chitchat, chuckle, and bicker over quilt squares, BMIs, ice cream, surviving menopause, and more.
Cast of characters:
- Sarah: “Rebecca Jones”
- Erin: “Mrs. Arlene Scheinberg”
- Rachel: “Candice Bradbury”
- Bri Gerzevske: “Beverly Davis”
- Katie Schuermann: “Nettie Schmidt”
- Lauren Braaten: herself
- Adriane Heins: herself
