  • Torches Together

    These guys bring so much light to these songs. As a Christian, I listened to these songs with a certain framework and it’s amazing to have my framework either affirmed or challenged in the best of ways.

    There is a sense of humility among the three that they know when they are definitely pushing the boundary which is greatly appreciated.

    I’m a huge fan. Can’t freaking wait for Ten Stories season. I just don’t see how the episodes won’t be at least 2 hours. Great work.

  • So much detail

    I thought I knew what the expression “getting into the weeds” meant, but then I listened to this pod! The detail they go into gives so much more life to the songs and band I’ve followed since their first album. I don’t think every theory they discuss lands (and I bet they’d be the first to admit that), but their conversation and expertise make for listening.

    I’ve had a blast learning more about the band’s lyrics, music theory, philosophy, religion, and history from these guys. Thanks for the c... more

    Wow, what a weird podcast that is for me and my flannel bros. I found this in the days following their farewell show.

  • A trifecta!

    Love the look at one of my favorite bands from their perspectives: musicality/theory, philosophy/theology!

    Thank you and keep up the great work!
