E701 shownotesDid you miss us? We missed you!
Life, as y'all know, uh... finds a way. But we have beaten life back long enough to bring you this update on the pod and what we have scheduled for this, our SEVENTH season!!
Look out for our first-ever book club (Jane Steele, by Lyndsay Faye), two miniseries (one on religion and adoption, one on how we wrote our forthcoming book, Religion Is Not Done With You), plus some one-off So Glad You Asked-style responses to listener questions about things like religion & tattoos AND a sneak peek into Megan's research on #CultsInc and the MOVE bombing.
It's all happening, nerds. Welcome back!

E702 ShownotesWelcome to our first ever book club episode, nerds! This one has it all: misandry, murder, and...martial religions?
Join us for a very wide-ranging chat about Lyndsay Faye's Jane Steele (and also our own research, because you know academics just can't help themselves). -
Welcome to the first of our four episode miniseries on religion and adoption, which actually turned out to have five episodes because, well, there were just too many horrors to be neatly contained in an outline. We're starting off with some basics on adoption, including how different religious traditions do (or do not) engage in the practice. Plus a very special, very dark return of Primary Sources!
-
Because books is what we do, nerds! Tune in to hear us geek out about why we decided to pivot to text.
-
What does adoption have to do with religious freedom? Quite a bit, actually.
Tune in to learn more about the ways religion--and especially, you guessed it, white Christian nationalism--shapes the adoption industry. -
Because--to borrow from Anne Lamott--one of the two best prayers we know is "thank you, thank you, thank you."
