Behind the Scenes:

What is Between Two Worlds all about? Obviously its a podcast about belief, un-belief, and everything in between. But what exactly does that mean.

Host Scott Trout takes us into behind the scenes of where the name Between Two Worlds came from and what the podcast is all about.


Our Story: 

It all got started back in the beginning of the Corona lockdown when Scott was feeling "quarantine crazy" and decided to make a podcast with that old microphone his wife had bought him two years earlier, but first he needed a partner in crime. That's where Joey, an agnostic who is down to talk about anything, came onto the scene. Scott and Joey had just finished an improv class together from EasyLaughs in Amsterdam. After each class they and their improv buddies would go out for beers and talk about literally everything. Scott, a Christian who works with international students in Amsterdam, started to feel this tension that in a world of so much polarization, these kind of conversations only happen with people who think like you. Christians only talk with Christians. Atheists only talk with atheists. and so on. There is very little respectful yet challenging dialogue. Might be oversimplified, but feels overwhelmingly true. So they came up with the idea of interviewing people's stories of faith on the podcast and then debating the topics that come up from their story.


Our Objectives:

  • -To give space for people to share their stories of faith, their beliefs, and how they live it out.
  • -To give space for differing ideas to go back and forth so better ideas emerge.
  • -To interview the people who have influenced my beliefs.
  • -To better articulate what I believe against the backdrop of someone else's thoughts and experiences.
  • -To bridge the gap between differing worlds, Christian and non- Christian, to promote greater understanding and dialogue.
