[This episode has Amy Alderman, Hayne Griffin, Stoy Prioleau, and Joey Svendsen]

Joey's original plan for this episode crumbled at the beginning due to an ice breaker question about the impact of racism during recovery efforts of "Katrina ravaged" New Orleans 20 years ago. One thing led to another, a rare argument flared amongst the host crew but by the end of the conversation, the pieces were put back together with friendships firmly intact.

Currently on tour together, John Mark McMillan and Zach Bolen (frontman of the band Citizens) join the podcast to discuss faith, life on the road, songwriting, personal testimonies, and what being real with God looks and feels like to them. Many people interact with their songs as "worship tunes," but they don’t fit the Contemporary Christian Music mold and for various reasons, these guys aren't setting out to write worship songs. Throughout this episode you’ll hear their songs intertwined through the whole thing.

Also, host, Joey Svendsen deems John Mark a saint, Zach and Joey recount their stint as a comedic duo, and John Mark gives a theory on why Generation X may gravitate toward the 80s music sound as they age.

[Part 2 with Andrew Schwab, releasing soon, will be a deep-dive into the story of all things Project 86: Subscribe to Roster Music Club Podcast so you don't miss it]

Andrew Schwab just completed his first novel "OMNI." In this book, Andrew explores society's relationship with metaphysics, AI, and media by providing a mind-bending journey through a fictional civilization in the "not so distant" future. On this episode, Andrew shares a bit about the imaginary world found in the pages of his novel, the reasons behind writing it and his passionate ambition to continue writing novels and recording new Project86 albums that are thematically linked to his dystopian tales.

Over the course of this conversation, Andrew, along with host Joey Svendsen, discuss the future of AI and the potential threats it could pose to mankind. Andrew provides insight into the impact AI will have on younger generations and how they relate to true art. He also argues that humanity isn't counting the cost of technological development, and he articulates how one of the most impactful costs could be humanity becoming less human.
