One of my favourite podcasts. Christianity from a leftist perspective and vice versa with lots of humour and great guests. Also highly recommended for bone perverts. If you know, you know.
This is my absolute favorite podcast, please never stop making it! Liberation Theology is a fairly niche subject and I’ve learned so much about it, and related topics, from this show. The hosts are both knowledgeable and humble, and I appreciate the mixture of humor and serious discussion. God bless you guys for creating an amazing resource for left-leaning Christians!
This is a more recent find for me — last year or so. I’d kind of sworn off theology podcasts for a while, but I enjoy this one. Steers pretty well clear of my religious traumas and neuroses! And I’ve plundered the show for some great reading recommendations too. Solidarity!
Herzog’s reading of Jesus’ parables are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for diving into them.
Maybe more might make their way into future episodes?
They frown on evangelization and can’t really talk about theology or the Bible. Marxism though, they are really passionate about Marxism. They are very dismissive of the strong currents of atheism and opposition to Christianity within the Marxist tradition. I really wish there was a good podcast about leftist politics and Christianity, but I’m still looking for one.
