Fiery Friends Podcast

“Until Next Time, Keep the Fire Burning”

The Heart of the Podcast

The Fiery Friends Podcast launched back in November 2020 as a pretty simple concept; just two brothers in Christ wanting to have a good time talking about our passions in life, most important of all those passions always being Jesus! Over time, the podcast has evolved to feature many amazing guest stars and to include many different elements to make the show more exciting, which you can read more about below, but at the end of the day the primary goal of this show will always be inviting people into a community of joyful discussion of the things that bring fire to our lives!! You can find all of our episodes on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all of the major podcast platforms!

 Types of Episodes

Throughout the episodes of Fiery Friends, we have had many different types of episodes that have been part of the show! Currently in Season 6, only 3 types of episodes are currently being made, but you can read about those and all other types below!

ACTIVE EPISODE TYPES:

  1. Scripture Summaries - Starting in Season 4, Dan and Zach began a quest to make at least one podcast on ALL 66 BOOKS of the entire Bible! Each episode they break down a book of the Bible and share their highlights!

    Episodes in this Series include: 044, 046, 047, 049, 050, 052, 054, 056, 058, 061, 062, 064, 067, 068, 071, 073, 074, 075, 077, and 078!

  2. Pixar Movie Reviews - Starting in Season 2, Dan and Zach began a journey to try and do a podcast on all the Pixar movies! Each episode they review the content of the movie and try to find any deep spiritual things that can be taken away from them, and then at the end of each review, they add the newest movie to their ranking!

    Episodes in this Series include: 020, 039, 069, 076, and 079.

  3. Bracket Podcasts - The third episode type we are continuing to do into the future of Fiery Friends is our Bracket Podcasts! We started these in S1 and have done at least one almost every season! They are always a fun time to determine the best things in different categories!

    Episodes in this Series include: 005, 012, 033, 036, 040, 060, and 080.

    INACTIVE EPISODE TYPES

  4. Wheel of Fire Episodes - Debuting in Season 2, every week on the show Zach & Dan would spin this amazing thing known as the “Wheel of Fire”, which was essentially just a carnival wheel with 14 slots, and on each slot was a different idea for an episode topic! These ideas have ranged from deep and spiritual things such as “Mission Trips” or “Stories Behind Songs” to silly fun things such as “What is Trash?” or a “Price is Right” game, and the variety kept the show feeling interesting and fresh! The wheel retired at the end of Season 4 but maybe one day may make a return.

    Episodes in this Series include: 009, 011, 012, 013, 015, 017, 018, 019, 020, 021, 022, 024, 025, 029, 031, 032, 033, 035, 036, 037, 038, 039, 043, 045, 048, 051, 053, 055, 057, 060, and 063.

  5. Zach Monologue Episodes - Occasionally over the course of Fiery Friends, Zach has done monologue episodes when Dan hasn’t been available or when there was a topic he particularly wanted to discuss. These will be discontinued in the future due to the birth of the WOW Chronicles Podcast, which will be an alternative place for Zach monologues, but they are fun to look back on.

    Episodes in this Series include: 016, 026, 034, 042, 059, 070, and 072.

  6. Miscellaneous Episodes - Any episode that doesn’t fall into one of the other aforementioned categories is a miscellaneous episode. This includes episodes from Season 1 when we chose topics more randomly, most season premieres and finales, episodes with alternate guests when Dan wasn’t available, the reaction special, and any other times we did an episode apart from another specific series. Right now in Season 6 we are pretty devoted to the 3 core series so aren’t currently doing miscellaneous things but may again in the future.

    Episodes in this Series include: 001, 002, 003, 004, 006, 007, 008, 010, 014, 023, 027, 028, 030, R01, 040, 041, 065, and 066.

——Season 5——

Season 5 was the longest season timewise, but has also had the fewest episodes as post marriage and moving to Texas, Zach and Dan were a bit scattered and therefore the opportunities to record episodes were a bit fewer than in the past. This season of distance and only occasional episodes saw the Wheel discontinued for the time being, and the few episodes included in this season were primarily Scripture Summaries & a Pixar Movie review, with some Zach monologues and a fun premiere as well. This season was mostly a gap in the overall greater chronology of Fiery Friends.
