Brant & Sherri Oddcast

1,702

Brant Hansen is from small-town Illinois, and is a self-professed nerd, diagnosed with Asperger's as an adult. He's a fan of C.S. Lewis and toast. "Producer Sherri", also a radio veteran, is from Pittsburgh, has one of the world's great laughs, and demonstrates incredible patience with Brant. Both are believers in Jesus, but have difficulty fitting in with modern American church culture. Together they have a daily radio show that is syndicated across the country, with segments ranging from the latest animal news, to interactions with listeners, to discussions about how messy life can be, and how good God is. You can find articles written by Brant at branthansen.com, and you can follow him on Twitter: @branthansen

    Smorgasbord of spiritual wisdom and gut busting humor
    Try not to laugh, try not to cry, but face it. You’re going to become addicted to the wit and wisdom, the laughter and profound all at the same time. Love listening to Brant and Sherri! I can binge them all day long, all week long! I’m thinking Brant may have written the title and first paragraph and maybe not but I love what it says and can’t improve on it! And it’s the truth! (AI must have written the above but I could not improve upon it. Gut busting? Check. Spiritual wisdom, check. Transparency, humility, honesty, relatability, and I can’t get enough! Bravo! Keep them coming!!

    Ever grateful
    Day-changing, life-giving! I dove into the archives of The Oddcast and haven’t come up for air yet! Sherri’s laugh is contagious—it makes me belly laugh. It’s been good medicine for me. You have no idea… And the joy doesn’t stop there. How can we not laugh—or feel a deep sense of camaraderie—when Brant shares simple yet profound truths that land home in the feeler! His storytelling is genius, weaving humor with the hope of Jesus. World changing goodness.

    Amazing and important
    Listening to the show hanging out with a couple of good friends, laughing, discussing trivial things, and also diving deep into spiritual matters. I listen to it every day. I really love it.

    Brant Hanson…
    …You are my people. Sherri - I love your laugh. Oh… I read the acknowledgments. 1-17-25 I wish your show were longer. I also wish I could join your conversation. Love y’all.

    Genuine and so funny!
    I heard about Brant on another podcast when I was diagnosed with autism, and had to seek this podcast out. Brant & Sherri are so genuine and so funny! Every episode I am laughing but I also always hear something that makes me think.

    Thank you!
    Brant and Sherri! I cannot thank you enough for your truth and wisdom of God shared through humor. Our mutual faith is an incredible encouragement. If I don’t have the pleasure of meeting you two on this side of eternity, I know I will enjoy it on the other. Your eternal sister, Molly Broad Also, thank you for episode 2095 This is NOT safe for the family. After listening, I looked up Sy Rogers and have been absolutely blessed by his 2 part message recorded by Focus On The Family. I have a 14 year old daughter and have been continually looking for ways to equip her to better understand her own sexuality and that of others in the context of how God beautifully and wonderfully designed it. Thank you for the courage to continue to share the truth. I am so incredibly grateful for the work both of you are doing!💕💕💕

    Nightly Pick-Me-Up
    I’ve listened to this odd cast for maybe a year or so now every night while brushing my teeth and getting ready for bed. It distracts my racing mind with their humor, the trivia, the animal segments. I even enjoy the occasional dissonance between Brant and Sherri. Great content - thank you for serving Jesus, keeping me calm and making me laugh! ❤️
  • Oseshalom
    Not exaggerating!
    Someone already said this is THE BEST PODCAST EVER!! It’s really true. I can’t think of enough superlatives to say how amazing, funny, thought-provoking, inspirational, challenging, mind blowing, and life changing these guys are. IF YOU AREN’T LISTENING, YOU ARE REALLY MISSING OUT! In telling you we all need this!
  • PPyth0n
    Best podcast ever!!
    This podcast is both uplifting and hilarious! Brant’s amazing content and Sherri’s huge laugh, balance this show perfectly! It is truly a blessing for me, and everyone should listen to this oddcast!!!!
  • Serendipitously2
    It’s not what it used to be: Love is no longer served at this table
    During the episode ‘Anchors and Fruit’ , Sherri said it was a good thing the presidential rally took place in Butler rather than Homewood. Was it a good thing that a little girl lost her dad and a lady lost her husband at that rally, Sherri? Would you feel the same way if your brother would have been shot at an outdoor church event, and your mother would have been injured and in critical condition in the hospital? Time and time again Sherri defaults to tribal thinking anchored in where she’s from, in addition her race, rather than thinking of her place in the body of Christ. People were injured and died, and you have the gall to say, “If you’re from Pittsburgh that’s funny”??? To make matters worse, she justified her “comedic taste” rather than taking extreme ownership and saying, “I messed up, what I said on my personal Facebook page, and am now sharing with the listeners, was wrong. I’m sorry.” When are you gonna grow the eff up, Sherri? Your refusal to renew your mind according to Romans 12:2 is the reason why you are not married and why you “struggle” to lose your more than excess weight. What you’re not changing, you’re choosing. Brant, thank you for 12 years of lessons and growth. This show is no longer for me. I’ll continue to support CURE and read your books.

    The best podcast
    The shocking jocking facts mixed with calming devotional thoughts makes for the perfect podcast!
  • Everyday Matt
    Nothing but a Good Time
    I’ve been listening to the Podcast for years and have learned so much! I’m super grateful for you guys, and I am so blessed to have you be a part of my life. Thank you for your hard work!
  • TLCscrabbleLover
    Need a laugh? Need encouragement? Listen in!
    Brant and Sherri make a great team for entertaining and encouraging. I have been binge listening to back episodes because I hate to miss out on all the fun! 💜💜 from Grandma Purple
  • Tfayter
    I have some ideas…
    This isn’t my first five-star rating for this show bc they deserve ALL THE STARS ALL THE TIME. I’m convinced this podcast has actually saved my life several times over (no exaggeration). But I have some ideas. First, we need an album of Brant playing all the songs he’s written over the years. Proceeds could go to Cure, of course. Second, we need a compilation of all episodes that have ever been made - I want to hear the first four years of the show I didn’t get to hear (and Apple doesn’t make that easy). Proceeds to Cure again. Finally, I know how Brant feels about being on video, but I want to see vidcasts galore! More of your beautiful faces plz ❤️ Love this show, love the books, loved the conference. Appreciate all you do for the Kingdom!

    Feels like best friends
    I've been listening to Brant and Sherri since they started this podcast but never thought to leave a review. I look forward to hearing them everyday. They are like my best friends! They bring joy, laughter, and contemplative thought to my day. My day is more full when I get to hear them.
  • may.j.1865
    Friends forever
    I feel like Brant and Sherri are close friends. They provide so much wisdom and laughter - my most favorite podcast of all time! I thank God for the Brant and Sherri Oddcast!
  • Kingbreww
    Club Awesome
    I’ve been listening to Brant and Sheri since the days of Club Awesome with all of it’s nacho choices, stamp albums and J.R. Tolkien statue. I can honestly say that although these two are not licensed counselors they are truly balm for my soul. Thank you Dynamic Duo for being you. The world is a better place because of this Oddcast.
  • Dswanson71
    Doesn’t get any better. (That’s a good thing)
    Often announced they are clumsy and not good at this stuff. You’ll find that they are as good as it gets when it comes to entertainment, education, meekness and encouragement. Just good old fashioned clean fun. And they truly feel like they’re your best friends! I don’t go a day without listening.
  • Noreeneebeanee
    Laughter really is the best meds
    The description is perfect for Sheri’s laugh. Her laugh makes me laugh. I think Brant and I are kin, with two exceptions, I can’t play a kazoo, and I’m not running for office. But I will follow your campaign, and most likely tell others to do the same. Peace my Poddys.
  • Meg-Chipmunk
    Joy
    Brant and Sherri bring me such joy each and every episode. I absolutely love everything about the show which has me looking forward to the next episode. They have it all: banter, laughter, intelligent conversations, inspiration, honesty, and I’ll say it again…JOY! Love you both, keep up the good work. 💝💝
  • jsilvey12
    Refreshing and Enlightening
    Absolutely my favorite podcast! Full of inspiring stories, “jokes”, mirth and music of sorts from the pommel horse. I consider these two friends even though we’ve never met. 10 out of 10 doctors recommend listening. You will not be disappointed.
  • Laurenashleyrose
    Love them!
    I wish they discipled people! They are remarkable! They play together so well and are so light and funny! Breath of fresh air. I truly find myself laughing and smiling deeply with them. Love this so much! And!! I highly recommend Brant’s books too! So good!

    Words of Faith
    Thanks for sharing your faith with this dude from Raleigh, NC. I actually got an awesome refinance cause of these too! Thanks Brant and Sherri I can’t tell you how many dark jams y’all got me out of…
  • CaliNYCLondon
    Encouraging and Uplifting
    I have been listening to Brant & Sheri for over two years now. My family and I had been through a flood in our home when a friend told me about this Oddcast. I listened daily to the lightheartedness of Brant & Sheri as my family went through a very difficult time. I appreciate Brant & Sheri and how real and honest they are because when you’re going through challenges in your own life, that’s exactly what what you need. Thank you Brant & Sheri for being a light in my life through some dark times. God bless you.
  • TidyLula
    Joyful and Helpful!
    Listening to Brant and Sherri is like spending time with dear friends. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be exhorted and encouraged. Even better, they’ll always point you to Christ and to His church where you’ll find fellowship live and in person. Love these two!!
  • Curious nobody
    Funny and absurd, peculiar and refreshing
    Such a quirky and fantastical life giving restorative oddcast. It will grow on you if you just give it time or it will grab you right out of the gate. Sherry and Brant are incredibly inspiring and worth a listen. They are weird, loud, seasoned and surprisingly normal people. Give up the daily news and social media designed to take you down and replace it with this! You won’t be sorry!
  • Just A User 2019
    The Oddcast is light AND deep!
    Love Brant and Sherri’s rapport! They are two good friends who have invited you to sit at their table. I appreciate their humor and compassion as they navigate the balance of bringing content for Christian radio and podcast audiences. Brant routinely brings deep spiritual insight, which has helped me untangle some of my faith knots. Even when it isn’t deep, it’s always encouraging. He is excellent at humbly modeling what a Jesus follower should be. Brant and Sherri provide regular inspiration to grow in my faith, and I always leave an episode with a smile.
  • dkeyes7
    Amazingly real
    Brant and Sherri are refreshingly, amazingly real. And no politics. That’s great too.
  • Hodag Country
    Such a blessing
    Brant and Sheri, I am so thankful that I finally tuned in to your Oddcast. I heard it announced several times on my radio station but never took the time to check it out and now I can’t wait to hear the next episode. I’m usually listening when I ride my bike after I get done with work and there are times when I am laughing so hard that I feel that cars that are passing me are probably wondering why is she smiling so much. I love the variety that you bring to the show. I cannot thank you enough for your laughter as we don’t hear enough of it and it is so contagious so thank you for that gift. I’m so grateful that I finally tuned in, God bless you both. Gail in Rhinelander WI. Home of the Hodag!

    The humor & wisdom we need
    What a delight! I laugh so hard and learn so much. Such a great way to help my mind transition from work to home each day. Now I hope the traffic lights turns red so I have time to finish the podcast before I get home. So glad I found this! I even changed by phone plan to unlimited-enough said!
  • Jeri Kozak
    Love Brant and Sherri!
    You two are great and one of my favorite podcasts! I look forward to hearing you two banter humorously and comment about life and how we can be more like Jesus. The only bad thing is that there aren’t more released per day! 😃
  • nana3rm
    My favorite spiritual/comedic/sit and chat awhile y’all podcast
    Misfits welcomed… even encouraged here. I learn something every time I listen. Could be something spiritual, something historical, a joke, something about human relations, living for the kingdom in this in between world, about the Bible… I listen again and again. I’m very disappointed when their lives get busy and they don’t do a podcast, but I just listen to older ones and that friend/learning/Jesus loving spot is filled.
  • ???Smiles???
    Five Stars 😄
    My favorite podcast! I love their sense of humor and Brant and Sherri’s deep insights into the Christian faith. Plus, it’s only 15 minutes! Brant and Sherri feel like friends!

    Refreshing Reminders
    The humor keeps me here but God is what gives it meat, and that’s helpful for my life.
  • Lloch_Nessa
    I love the misfits
    If you are looking for an over-sensationalized, run of the mill, same old program, you’ve come to the wrong place. This unlikely duo of friends who come from very different walks of life are a delight! They have just the right amount of silliness and depth to add something good to your life. The one thing they have in common is a loving relationship with Jesus Christ, but you don’t have to have one to listen to and enjoy this show. Every us welcome at this table. Delightful and often hilarious! These are the friends I never knew I always wanted. ❤️
  • NC. Girl
    An Uplifting Podcast
    I listen to several podcasts, but look forward to this one each day! It is uplifting, makes you laugh, while at the same time encouraging you in your walk with God. Brant and Sherri make a great team! If you haven’t listened yet, give it a try … it may become a favorite!
  • Someguy102
    My favorite
    I am here to say that until Jesus returns, and the end of age I shall forever be a subscriber of this podcast.
  • Meecie1960
    The best
    Pointing us to the lifeline that is Jesus with truth, unwavering conviction and delightful ridiculousness.
  • pwh512
    Pretty good
    I like this enough to actually type out (on my phone) that I like it
  • MawWire
    The best podcast!!
    Give it a week!! You will get it!! Whether you are an extrovert or an introvert you will love this podcast!! Brant is like me an introvert and Producer Sherri is an extrovert so you will find someone to connect with. After a week you will realize that Brant and Sherri are friends. They are so genuine and wonderful people. You will love it and them like I do!!
  • 73parker
    Friends
    Love listening to you guys! Laughter and truth and always pointing to Jesus and the Kingdom.
  • c#1313
    Amazing
    Been a fan since five different types of nachos- slowly learning to become unoffendable, humor gives me a laugh but the God thoughts is what keeps me coming back. My children have grown tired that I quote Brant and Sherry all the time. Love them and this podcast.
  • Orcanu
    Amazing
    It’s a mix of pointing you back towards Jesus; facts; much needed discussions; with humor that disarms you so you can take it all in. It has been my go to while driving to be reminded of what’s actually important. It has made my trips way more positive instead of a drain of energy I felt before. Glad I found it prior to the pandemic lock downs. I ended up being the non anxious voice during that time because of the reminders. Recommend it regardless of your world views. Thank you for keeping with the show Brant and Sherri!
  • Kim1321
    Love it!!
    I’ve only been listening for a couple of months, but it’s truly has been a blessing for me. The mix of humor, laughter and spiritual insight is awesome thank you
  • Semrau
    Worth every minute!
    Thank you Brandt and Sherri for the insight into God’s word, the people around us, and living a Christ driven life. I laugh, I cry, I pray, I laugh some more, I think, I recommend your podcast to others! Your work is very appreciated. Good job!
  • Jd9397.........2
    Easy listen
    In a world where we all take ourselves too serious it is a easy listen that makes you laugh and think about deep things at the same time. Love the book as well!
  • Mystic Turnip
    Genuine encouragement with love and laughter
    Real as real can be. From testimonies of faith to college studies. Reminding everyone that animal news matters. An mental and emotional vacation from the day to day. Heartfelt, whitty, and well done by two people who truely care about everyone’s quality of life, happiness, and spirit. Thank you for your effort, thoughts, and light.
