When Michael and Rob (Varnish Media) set out build this podcast, the alliterative "Michael in the Middle" just had a nice ring to it. Now the phrase has become a working brand and a way of life. As Season 2 begins with Episode 41, Michael takes a look back at some significant excerpts from five of the episodes shared in the last half of the inaugural year. A doctor, a couple of preachers, a couple of singers, a songwriter, and a play-by-play college football announcer each demonstrate a commitment to excellence and a commitment to love. With our world spinning outwardly and away from each other, maybe Diamond Rio had it right again with "we gain a lot of ground when we both give a little... Ain't no road too long when we meet in the middle."
