- Oh dear
Long time listener. Love Kate, don’t appreciate the knock to the University Of Manitoba in the Happy Crappies episode.

You have to pay tuition just like in the US to attend, although subsidized through tax payers, just like our “free” health care. We all can’t work at Duke, but will receive solid educations at Canadian institutions. Not a great comment also considering your parents are acad... more

Life-giving and hope-filled regardless of one’s circumstances! Grateful beyond belief.
Apple Podcasts5Rockin ProfessorUnited States3 months ago - Amazing - thank you
As a pastor who gets looked to for answers it is so comforting to hear about the beauty and integrity of ambiguity! (Wow that’s a lot of words.) Uncertainty, grey rather than black and white, no simplistic answers to complex questions and issues - all of this comes in the podcast and in Kate’s writings. Thank you and God bless you!
