The show title comes from two hot takes about my work, published by others this week. The first is a list of gifts for “liberty lovers” that includes my book, which writer Bretigne Shaffer called “The perfect stocking stuffer!” The second is a roast — yes, a roast! — of my Substack by Mariah Faith Continelli at The New Unhinged.
So I took those two kind gestures and turned them into … wait for it … a food joke: roasted stuffing! Because food puns are what I do here. Really, the show is called the Sunday Buffet, and the segments are the Griddle, Salad Bar, and Omelet Station. I’m consistent!
We’ve also got comics, healthcare, movies, and a Gospel passage about holiness in tough times.
Enjoy the show, and remember to Like and Subscribe at Substack. The Comments section is also open at Substack, where you’re welcome to share your thoughts and join the conversation. Your support and engagement help others find my work 😎
