Two Unlikely Christians
by Pat McCool and Richard Turrell
Ep 32: Buck Up Oompa-Loompa!
About this podcast
Pat McCool and Richard Turrell are an unlikely duo. A comedian from the Deep South, USA and a therapist from London, UK. Thrown together in unlikely circumstances they formed a friendship based on two things: Firstly, their shared love of Jesus, and latterly, their realization that they were both as unhinged as the other.
Somewhere along the way they decided that their often deranged ramblings might make for a half decent podcast. Give it a listen and decide for yourself!
