The Couch & The Pulpit: A Live Podcast

What you'll do:

Tired of bland conversations and surface-level small talk? Do you ever catch yourself having full-blown debates in your head about a movie scene... or reading a “healing” post on social media like, “Actually? That’s a trauma response”?

Then The Couch and the Pulpit is exactly where you need to be.

This live podcast taping blends culture, comedy, and counseling in one room — where sacred meets side-eye, and cinema gets the sermon treatment. Hosted by two brilliant Black creatives (with big opinions and even bigger hearts), this isn't just a conversation — it’s a cultural call-in.

We’re talking:

• Unfiltered dialogue

• Movie scenes turned scripture

• Therapy truths with group chat energy

• And yes… audience participation

Our first episode? “The Gospel According to Angela.” We’re honoring Angela Bassett’s legacy, and yes — we’ve got a word for the Oscars too.

Pull up. Bring your feels, your edges, and your favorite Angela role. We saved you a seat on the couch.

Why we love it for your party:

• Unfiltered dialogue that keeps everyone engaged

• Movie scenes, cultural moments, and therapy truths all in one room

• Hilarious, heartfelt, and totally memorable

• Audience participation makes every event feel personal

• Perfect for groups craving bold conversation and good vibes
