The show is fine if you want to hear conservative christians repeat their grievances week in and week out. Occasionally they break new ground, but Mattingly in particular repeats himself often. Show needs either the hosts to critique their own side or add a host with a different perspective to mix it up.
Great religious journalism podcast, Terry Mattingly has a well-informed opinion. That being said the podcast can be overly focused on covering the same takes on abortion rights issues and religious liberty issues and the same criticisms of NYT religion coverage. Does a great job covering religion in politics though, the coverage around Catholic voters and Amy Coney Barret was particularly compelling. Wish that they didn’t exclusively cover Christian news stories
Have been listening to this podcast for years, and it’s still one of my all time favorite shows to hear. Great content from a unique perspective, glad they seem to have gotten their Apple download issue worked out. I was so disappointed when I thought the show had ended!
I agree with the previous review: excellent podcast. But it no longer automatically downloads on Apple. Hasn’t since June!
This is an excellent podcast. However, it no longer automatically downloads in the podcast app on app,e.

The content consistently explores the intersection of religion and various societal spheres, such as politics, entertainment, and culture. With a focus on journalistic integrity, discussions often challenge mainstream media narratives surrounding religious topics and their coverage in the press. Noteworthy elements include a critical examination of how narratives around faith are framed, particularly regarding contentious issues like abortion and immigration within religious communities. This emphasis on nuanced perspectives aims to bridge the gap between public perception and the realities experienced by these communities, making it a compelling listen for those interested in faith-based discussions in contemporary media.
