  • Well done podcast

    Great podcast, too bad other listeners are so sensitive they can’t even stand to learn about a Christian terrorist.

  • Well produced podcast

    This was a good podcast overall, but condemning Christians & people who are pro-life because of the actions of a few radical right wing crazy people is off base. Personally I prefer objective story telling.

  • Timely

    I’ve found it informative about a time when I was still really young. It’s a cautionary tale that I feel is important for anyone concerned about religious extremism - Christian, Islamic, or otherwise.

Q: Can you talk a little bit about where you, maybe once you decided, okay, we're doing the show, how you started that process of research and crafting the narrative arc and whether that shifted over time?
It all starts during COVID; the first interview with my mom became the bulk of episode two. We talked to experts based on the research and connections we made while developing the narrative.
