Bo went fishing. Josh Patterson came over. If you take Bo Daddy and divide by two, you get J Paddy — which is how we know the substitution worked. In two hours we somehow got from Johnny Depp in half his Jack Sparrow makeup at a Los Angeles grocery s... more

Bo and I started with bikes, a Pentecost-red pair of glasses, and my new Crazy Chicks ballcap. We did not stay there. By the end we had hit the evolutionary anthropology of religion before belief, Pope Leo XIV's AI encyclical, Gandalf telling Denetho... more

Love the podcast - Tripp, what are five reasons to go Paul Tillich?
Don't go to seminary. Learn a trade and listen to this podcast. That is all.
Thoughtful and free wheeling conversations from the guys at home-brewed. Always love it!

Great idea for a podcast but it's not very accessible and a bit rambling. The unapologetic, loud baby noise and ambient background sounds are really distracting. I love the concept but as a scientist (not philosopher) I get much more out of the Unbelievable, reasonable faith, and even Phil Vischer podcasts.
