Betsey has enjoyed a stellar career in Christian communications. Now she is focusing much of her energy on being silly with her red-haired granddaughter, fighting for democracy (and following Pete Buttigieg), and serving and prodding the church.
She can be found on Twitter at Betsey4Democracy @newenhuyse.
Ken and Betsey met on a steamy July day in St. Louis (is there any other kind?). Over time, they bonded over their shared journeys as Boomers navigating church and politics and grandkids and loss and a longing for something better.
Betsey Newenhuyse and Ken have produced 100 episodes of Beach Talks, starting in August of 2020.
Ken and Betsey review her visit to Southern California, which included a visit to the high desert "Super Bloom" of poppies and spring color, an evening conversation around the topic "Reimagining the Church," and a tour of Ken Fong's beautiful Japanese garden. Joe Biden is an official candidate for the Democratic nomination for a second term as POTUS. Polls predict a rematch of the two aging politicians - Biden v. Tr**p - as "most likely"... but the majority of Americans don't want it. The annual Correspondents Dinner put Joe Biden in the spotlight. Noting his stellar performance, it led Ken to the conclusion that "maybe he can do it." There's yet another firing at a high-profile evangelical college in the Mid-West over ANTI-WOKE/ANTI-CRT - Professor Julie Moore at Taylor University. Secretary Pete gets the credit for the theme of Biden's campaign: Freedom!
SHOW NOTES - including photo galleries from Crystal Cove, the Super Bloom, and Ken Fong's Garden.

Ken Kemp and Betsey Newenhuyse celebrate 100 Episodes of their regular podcast series "Beach Talk." The first Beach Talk aired August 26, 2020, began as an "experiment," but has run for over two years. It's been a near-weekly conversation around headline events from the Democratic Convention through the election, the insurrection, impeachments, mass shootings, political jockeying, reading books, religious and spiritual commentary, calling out villains, and celebrating heroes. To celebrate this milestone, they welcome two cherished friends who are also fans of Beach Talk - Ken Fong (host of Asian American the Ken Fong Podcast and the Two Kens series co-host with Ken Kemp) and Darcy McKenzie (see podcast interview with Ken).

In this very special episode, Carla reveals her real identity. Ken and Carla share how they met, the projects that brought them together, and how they began this 18-month weekly conversation they call "Beach Talks." Rather than spell out the details here, you'll need to listen to the podcast. Sharing the early days, pre-podcast, they talk about their new friendship working together on a published book. Carla relays some of the detail of her college and then the beginnings of the career that shaped her political and spiritual perspectives. If you are drawn, as Ken is, to Carla's intelligence, quick wit, political commentary, and infectious, soulful faith, you'll appreciate these fresh, new disclosures. It's a delightful and personal account.
This week, Secretary Pete Buttigieg appears at the University of Chicago. Macron wins!
