About What Have You
What Have You is a conversational show rooted in Christian motherhood, household work, and the comedy of ordinary life refusing to stay tidy. Rachel Jankovic and Becca Merkel speak from cars, snowy days, cow-pasture views, and errand margins. The format is loose. The attention is not. A chat about spring mud can turn into garlic planting, hard soil, and the seasonal pleasure of being able to dig before August makes the shovel useless. A food tangent can move from sushi and shrimp to lamb, Northwest produce, and the quiet revelation of toasted oat bran. The show often sounds like two women thinking aloud while managing the weather, the children, the car, and the week’s accumulated domestic evidence. Its humor is quick and familial, built from interruptions, callbacks, and the slightly absurd specificity of real homes. Grocery-store obedience lessons, a kicked can of beans, fallen fences, Goodwill bins, spice tins, boxes, Christmas packaging, and knitting repairs all have a place here. So do larger questions. The conversations repeatedly return to cheerfulness, discipline, service, social media, attention, and the difference between productive beauty and performance. Christian framing is central rather than decorative, especially when the talk turns to housework, children, temptation, and the mood of a household. The show does not polish motherhood into aspiration. It treats it as active command, triage, humor, exhaustion, repentance, and delight. Listeners hear a lot of texture: muddy yards, blustery fall, cold medicine, coffee, pizza boxes, craft plans, and projects that are halfway brilliant and halfway out of control. That texture is the point. What Have You makes domestic conversation feel intellectually alive without making it formal, and morally serious without sanding off the mess.
Made for: For listeners drawn to Christian motherhood, homekeeping, family discipline, food talk, and unscripted conversation. It especially suits people who enjoy practical domestic detail with moral and theological reflection close behind.
What sets it apart: The show turns errands, weather, pantry opinions, child-management stories, and craft projects into a sustained conversation about faithful ordinary life. Its strength is the way tiny household specifics become serious without losing their comic shape.
In their own words
Bekah Merkle and Rachel Jankovic are two sisters getting together for a weekly coffee date (in the car) to chat about whatever issues happen to occur to them. They cover the waterfront of topics from confessing sins to sorting the laundry to what books they’re reading at the moment. Unscripted and unfiltered, these two NSA alums invite you to join them for a chat about what have you.
