Dave Roos leaves, and the FIRST EPISODE Helen and new guy are assuring the audience that yes of course they go to church and dismiss the very content they are dissecting. Absurd, disappointing, bending. This podcast, like writing for “History.com”, is BASED. Pathetic.
I love this podcast but the new expert professor guy is talking way too much. Just like in all podcasts where you have a man and a woman. A shame.
Love the show.
The show is great why did they quit 2 months ago?
I love this show! I learn so much about the Bible. Love the Time Machine element too. Helen is wonderful and I really like Dave… but dude, learn the proper way to say Edinburgh. It would be perfect then.
