  • Interesting and well researched

    Good listen

    Edit to add: no shade; would have appreciated a content warning on the last movie ep; partly on me for not searching the movie/rating.

    I did my undergrad at a catholic college in the northeast and had to take 3 theology classes. This podcast makes those classes look like veggie tales by comparison. Love this show. Keep it up!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bonus Interview: David Perry on Public Scholarship, Medieval Popes, and Disability
Q: What advice do you have for someone trying to engage the public with scholarly work without selling out rigor?
Meet people where they are, develop clear, argument-driven pieces, cite sources, and gradually guide readers toward deeper understanding rather than forcing complexity all at once.
Bonus Interview: David Perry on Public Scholarship, Medieval Popes, and Disability
Q: How do you recommend handling criticism and staying within your expertise online?
Be transparent about your limitations, maintain humility, and avoid overreaching; if you don't know something, say so and point to sources you do trust.
The 12 Tribes: An Interview with Andrew Tobolowsky (plus a small announcement)
Q: What is the core purpose of the 12 tribes schema in the biblical narrative according to your view?
It functions as a literary and ideological framework that helps establish a pan-Israelite identity, allowing disparate groups to be seen as part of a single tradition, which supports political centralization and religious unity in later periods.
BATM 4: Deux heures moins le quart avant Jésus-Christ ft. Max aka Palma
Q: What's your experience with the Bible? Did you grow up with it in like a religious context?
I grew up in a very religious household and have a longstanding interest in it.
Ep. 19: The Pious Kings, Pt. 2 (feat. Eve Feinstein)
Q: How are references to child sacrifice viewed in the biblical context?
While child sacrifice is prohibited, some biblical narratives, like that of Abraham, view it in a more positive light, suggesting exceptions in dire circumstances.
