  • Refreshing & Thoughtful

    I enjoy this podcast. It’s a cool drink of water in a desert full of divisive and confusing political podcasts. She (and her various guests) introduce me to a wide variety of topics. It helps me improve my thinking and Christian understanding of the world around me. I especially enjoyed the discussion on Aristotle and C.S. Lewis but also enjoy the popular culture episodes (highlighting various movies or books). I hope this podcast sticks around for a while.

  • Five Stars

    Postmodern Realities does an excellent job of balancing contemporary relevance and timeless theological grounding. The host and guests explore a very wide range of topics and always clearly return to the center: God and His glory. They will equip you (yes - you!) to talk with friends and family about current events or current media in a Christ-centered way.

  • Should Christians Avoid Holistic / Alternative Medicine?

    An unbelievably misguided and shallow reading of the rejection of corporatized medical /pharmaceutical /government backed sick care for the corrupt racket that it is, for other alternatives. Pharma corporations & govt control medical schools, journals and the studies. Drugs, injections (or surgery) to mask *symptoms, to create patients for life is wildly profitable, but not a health model and not Christian. Truth seekers look for root cause healing, starting with diet and lifestyle. Assuming pet... more

    This podcast is a must follow. The discussions and topics are varied but always relevant to what is going on in culture, the church, and entertainment. Often those areas intersect and that’s this podcast sweet spot! Keep up the good work!

Postmodern Realities Podcast Episode 494: Before Baker Street: An Evaluation of Amazon Prime’s ‘Young Sherlock’
Q: Where should people start if they want to explore more Holmes before watching Young Sherlock?
Begin with the canonical Holmes stories to grasp the grammar of Watson's narration and Holmes's methods, then explore key adaptations like Basil Rathbone, Jeremy Brett, Benedict Cumberbatch, and others depending on what version of Holmes they want to experience.
Postmodern Realities Podcast Episode 494: Before Baker Street: An Evaluation of Amazon Prime’s ‘Young Sherlock’
Q: Do you think the show shares continuity with the Guy Ritchie films even if it isn't in the same timeline?
Not in direct continuity, but it sits in the same broader imaginative space, sharing energy and style aspects like pace and edge, while offering a distinct take on the character's origins and early formation.
Postmodern Realities Podcast Episode 494: Before Baker Street: An Evaluation of Amazon Prime’s ‘Young Sherlock’
Q: So what is this Young Sherlock series about? And does it have connections to any of the other versions of the character?
It's a story about a 19-year-old Holmes in the 1870s that tries to answer what kind of youth produces the legendary detective, with Young Sherlock drawing loosely from Andrew Lane's books but standing as its own interpretation within a broader imaginative neighborhood.
Postmodern Realities Podcast Episode 492: What Does the World Look Like Without God? Deconstruction and Unanswered Prayers
Q: What role does the Square of Opposition play in evaluating claims about prayer and miracles?
It demonstrates how universal negatives can be undermined by particular affirmative instances; if some miracles happen, then the universal negative loses its force, making belief in God more plausible.
Postmodern Realities Podcast Episode 492: What Does the World Look Like Without God? Deconstruction and Unanswered Prayers
Q: Explain what you mean by a universal negative claim about God and how that interacts with miracles.
A universal negative claims that there are no prayers answered, no miracles, and no evidence for God, but counterexamples—such as verified miracles—can challenge that absolute position and make belief more reasonable.
