  • How Can Something So Educational Also Be So Entertaining?

    I don’t know how they do it, but I come away from each episode smarter than I was before and cackling along with the hosts (no easy feat as I usually find laughing hosts annoying with rare exception but this is a rare exception).

    Nothing is too big or too small to be probed and dissected in a fascinating way and their guests are top tier as well.

    This isn’t just the podcast we need right now, it’s an excellent resource that also happens to be highly entertaining; what a gem!

    Friendly suggestion to interview queer theologian and Aquinas scholar Mark Jordan on natural law, theology, and queer ethics. Love the pod.

  • Ehhhh…Guy Fieri?!

    Update: I think Moira lost me with this Guy Fieri bonus episode. Look, you’ll never get an argument out of me - MAGA is despicable, conservatives have no backbone and I am 100% team liberals. But by golly this episode proved why liberals are so darn annoying lol. Like Guy Fieri openly opposes the Tate Brothers and Moira immediately dismisses it and is pretty much calling him a liar. Thanks goodness for Adrian, who actually tries to be good faith about this stuff, for saying hey let’s take him at... more

    Thank you for providing the information I needed to adjust my hate of Phyllis Schlafly to the correct amount. I didn’t hate her nearly enough.

Q: What was the landscape for queer visibility in Weimar Germany before the Nazi rise to power?

Q: How did you discover your passion for this area of study or line of work?
