No More Hagiography (Blake didn't like The Atlantic piece)

In this minisode, Blake talks somewhat extemporaneously about the hagiography written by Michael Gerson in The Atlantic fighting for the term "evangelical." Which is really hard when we know the biographies of evangelicalism's leaders so well. Intro: "Bloom Key" by Broke for Free. Follow Blake on t…

(Minisode): Hidden Stories

The first episode of 2018 is small one, with a big question: In what way have our own stories been hidden from us? A short hospital stay got me all philosophical (which isn't too hard to do, but still). Intro/Outro: "Night Owl" by Broke for Free. Available in the Free Music Archive. Support the sho…
