Nearly Sacred is a podcast which has, as a focal point, discussions that revolve around the sacred, or things that are nearly sacred or near to that which is sacred. Its main site is currently hosted here: https://nearlysacred.top/.

The hosts of Nearly Sacred are JB Schirtzinger, and Melissa Sims-Schirtzinger. JB is a published author and has a degree in Telecommunication. Melissa is a reflexologist and essential oil expert who has an extensive background in research.

Nearly Sacred was an idea Melissa and JB had sometime in mid to early late 2014. The first hurdle was to get podcast equipment that would allow for the best possible listening experience. After much research, JB settled on some equipment. This all arrived, but sat unused for about a year as JB and Melissa were involved at that point also with a small store that was called “Another's Treasure”. Neither JB nor Melissa were exactly sure of the format, but the idea to discuss local sacred sites in America was an early notion with the later instinct of perhaps giving tours of those areas discussed. After Melissa returned from a trip to France, JB and Melissa would begin hosting the first episode. Between episodes, Melissa and JB had purchased a business that was renamed to Alchemy. Many of the commercials in this early episodes relate to this store and the services offered there.
