ripple effect podcast - episode 9 (1/11/08) part one

ripple effect podcast

Random news and entertainment for whoever is willing to listen...

This podcast is for young people and discusses the latest in news, TV, movies, music, and whatever other randomness we can think of. It's hosted by Paul Mannino and Josh Estep, two young Christian lads who decided that making a podcast would be a good way to inform the kids in their local youth ministry about what's going on while also creating an interactive way for students to be thinking about the youth throughout the week.
