This week, the MennoBrarians are back to discuss the latest movie in the Amish Hallmark(esque) Cinematic Universe: Christmas at the Amish Bakery. You can find the movie on Prime, with a free trial of the Up, Faith and Family add-on. The movie centers on Sarah, a young Chicagoan working in cookbook publishing, who is sent home to her Amish family as her boss thinks an Amish cookbook sounds like a unique and exciting publishing opportunity. We chat family recipes, pie making, bad costuming, and much more.
This episode is the first in our 2 part Christmas series, with Season 7 launching in February!

This week, Erin and Abby chat with Marlene Epp, about her new book, Eating Like A Mennonite: Food and Community across Borders. Epp's book dives into how Mennonites cook and eat around the world, gendered expectations (and opportunities) around food, the impact of food trauma on Mennonites, and much more - we highly recommend you add it to your to-read list.
We chat with Marlene about haystacks (of course), foodways, the value of cookbooks, and whether "Mennonite food" is an actual thing.
Thank you to McGill-Queen's University Press for providing us with review copies of the book.

This week we chat with the Naomi Clark and Rebecca Coblentz, co-hosts of the podcast Uncovered: Life Beyond. The goal of the Uncovered podcast is to provide a roadmap for people leaving high-demand religion, particularly focused on applying for and navigating college. Naomi and Rebecca share with us their journeys away from the Beachy Amish communities they grew up in, and their own experiences navigating college. We also discuss Amish schooling, Wisconsin v Yoder, and the importance of the 40-year-old "Come Apart."

This week, we veer a bit away from our typical subject matter to chat about a topic that Erin and Abby find interesting: the Enneagram. We are joined by guest, Marathana Prothro, an Assistant Professor of Communication at Bluffton University who is also certified through the Enneagram Institute of Ohio.
The Art of Typing: Powerful Tools for Enneagram Typing by Ginger Lapid-BogdaThe Complete Enneagram: 27 Paths to Greater Self-Knowledge by Beatrice ChestnutDiscovering Your Personality Type: The New Enneagram Questionnaire by Don Richard RisoThe Enneagram of Belonging: A Compassionate Journey of Self-Acceptance by Christopher HeuertzThe Enneagram: A Christian Perspective by Richard RohrThe Enneagram in Love & Work by Helen PalmerThe Journey Toward Wholeness by Suzanne StabileKeys to the Enneagram by A.H. Almaas (for more advanced students)Know Justice, Know Peace: A Transformative Journey of Social Justice, Anti-Racism, and Healing through the Power of the Enneagram by Deborah Threadgill EgertonThe Path Between Us by Suzanne StabileReclaiming You: Using the Enneagram to Move from Trauma to Resilience by Sharon K. Ball & Renée SiegelThe Road Back to You book & podcast by Suzanne Stabile & Ian Morgan CronThe Wisdom of the Enneagram by Riso & Hudson
In our conversation with Marathana, we chat about how the Enneagram differs from other personality tools, how being Mennonite might impact how an Enneagram number presents or is interpreted, and spend a fair amount of time trying to help Abby determine what her Enneagram number might be.
While this episode does cover some of the basics of the Enneagram - what it is, and a brief overview of the 9 types - if the Enneagram is new to you, we recommend looking at the Enneagram Institute website for a quick primer. We use a couple terms in this episode without explanation, for example "wings" (the number directly left or right of one's primary enneagram number - for example, Erin is a 7 wing 6), and "directions of integration" or disintegration which refer to how an enneagram type grows, or reacts to stress.
If you are interested in learning more, here are some recommended resources from Marathana:

This week, Abby and Erin meet with historian Steve Nolt, author of many books and articles about the Amish and director of the Elizabethtown College Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist studies. We chat about Steve's work and research, current projects, interesting questions he's been asked about the Amish, and what the word "haystack" means to him.

This week we wrap up season 5! As a reminder, season 5 was shorter to accommodate Tillie's opportunity to lead a study abroad semester in Ecuador. We chat about season 5, issue a few corrections, play a few bloopers, and provide updated stats.
We will be back soon with season 6! Plans are still underway, but after a bit of hiatus for planning and recording, Abby and Erin will be launching a season of interviews and episodes with guests - if you have recommendations for people we should talk to, please let us know!
We will provide Tillie updates during Season 6 as well, but you can also follow the group's adventures on the Goshen College SST blog: https://www.goshen.edu/ecuador/
Also, we recorded this episode in early December, so Patreon members joining after that time did not receive their "public shout out" reward in this season wrap up - we apologize and owe you two public shout outs during season 6!

This week, the MennoBrarians discuss the book White Mosque with author Sofia Samatar. The White Mosque weaves together personal reflections on Samatar's experiences as a Mennonite, with the story of Samatar's trip to Uzbekistan to learn more about the sect of Mennonites who pilgrimaged to Ak Metchet in the 1880s. It's a fascinating read, and we recommend you all add it your reading list.
You can find the White Mosque at Fables bookstore, or wherever you get your books. Learn more about our guest, Sofia Samatar, on her website, https://www.sofiasamatar.com/
We discuss this slice of Mennonite history, famous-ish Mennonites, what it's like for a speculative fiction writer to write a memoir, and much much more.

We are re-posting this episode because we recently discovered we posted the wrong file! Apologies, and thank you to those who alerted us to the issue. We are actually a little shocked this is the first time this has happened, but we apologize for the error.
This week, the MennoBrarians discuss the 2008 movie Sex Drive, which can currently be found on Netflix. Sex Drive is a coming of age comedy about three teens who take a road trip to Knoxville, TN, with a short detour through Amish country that really does include a Fall Out Boy Rumpsringa Concert. We chat trips with friends, Amish mechanics, the dangers of driving cars through corn fields, and much more.
Content note: due to the content of the movie we are discussing, be aware that our episode contains mild sexual references and innuendo.

This week, the Mennobrarians chat with historian John D. Roth, Project Director for MennoMedia’s project “Anabaptism at 500” and former Professor of History at Goshen College, about his most recent book, A Mennonite College for Everyone(?): Goshen College and the Quest for Identity and Inclusion, 1960-2020. We chat writing history, the myth of Mennonite exceptionalism, and what we can learn from the past attempts (and often failures) to meaningful expand the definition of what it means to be a Mennonite or a Mennonite institution. We also subject John to the Amish title generator and a round of Balderdutch.
You can find John Roth's book for sale at Fables bookstore in Goshen, IN.

In this episode, the MennoBrairians chat about the "Amish episodes" of two tv shows, Law & Order SVU and X-Files.
Law & Order SVU season 10, ep 19, "Selfish," aired in 2009, and features approximately 5 minutes of Amish content as Stabler and Benson make a trip to an upstate New York Amish community during an investigation into a measles outbreak.
X-files season 1, ep 14, "Gender Bender," aired in 1994. This episode focused on a series on a group known as The Kindred that are "similar to the Amish," but turns out, they are aliens.

This week, the Mennobrarians discuss the book An Amish Thanksgiving Blessing by Naomi Troyer. This short story tells the story of two rival Amish pumpkin farmers, Naomi and Joseph, competing to take home the grand prize in the annual fall festival for the largest pumpkin. And while those pumpkins do grow large, so do their feelings for each other. We chat pumpkin recipes, fall festivals, Amish Thanksgivings, and read some passages from the text.
Some of our favorite pumpkin recipes, for the next time you need to use up a 500 lb pumpkin
Pumpkin whoopie pies
Pumpkin cinnamon rolls
Chicken pumpkin soup
And, a shoutout to the Vegetarian Ground Nut stew from the Simply in Season cookbook
