Episode 175 - The Worst Kept Secret

The Pickle and Boot Shop Podcast

In today's episode, Joe confesses his long-standing dislike for Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, despite repeated attempts to enjoy them. The hosts then take a serious turn to address Contemporary Christian Music’s (CCM) “worst-kept secret” regarding Michael Tait, including his admission of drug and alcohol struggles, homosexuality, and claims of unwanted touching. It’s a candid discussion on the allegations against Michael Tait and the dark side of CCM.
