Grammy-winning artist, John Berry, and his wife Robin have worked together for most of his music career, and now are embarking on a new journey with a project they’ve created together: a podcast series called Faith, Family & Friends. The twice-monthly subscription-based podcast is an interview series where John and Robin provide a warm atmosphere of conversation in their "sitting around the kitchen table" approach to talking with guests. The conversation with Platinum Country artist and songwriter, Neal McCoy, is available now to subscribers at www.johnberry.com.
Listeners will be captivated and feel as if they are in the room with them. Each episode features a high-profile guest, including celebrities, sports stars, Hall of Fame members, best-selling authors, and entertainers, who share personal stories about how their faith, family, and friends have impacted their lives and careers.
"My friendship with John and Robin goes way back to the ’90s when we were both getting played a lot on the radio, which led us to doing shows together," shared Neal McCoy. "I’ve always admired John and Robin’s relationship with each other and their faith. My wife Melinda and I have our 41st anniversary coming up, and we always know that as long as we keep our faith, nothing can stand in our way."
"Neal McCoy and I have been friends for a long time. Having him as a guest on Faith, Family & Friends was icing on the cake," expressed John Berry. "Neal has a special place in all our hearts as a person as well as an entertainer."
Past conversations include the very last interview with the late Charlie Daniels, Richey Furay, Billy Dean, Jimmy and Nina Fortune, Darryl Worley, Randy and Darla Hartley, Bill Cody, Duane and Norah Lee Allen, T. Graham and Sheila Brown, Chris Hillman, Vince and Barbara Dooley, Marty Raybon, Scott Hamilton, Kim Campbell, and Megan Alexander.
Throughout John’s long and successful career, Robin has been right beside him—working behind the scenes as a background singer and as part of the JB team. While they have enjoyed an amazing life together, they’ve also faced difficult challenges, both in his career and his health. With God’s faithfulness being the constant in their lives, they’ve grown in their relationship with Christ, giving their marriage a firm foundation. Faith, Family & Friends is the perfect outlet—not only for John and Robin to share their life, but for their guests to speak freely about the three most important things in life: faith, family, and friends.
