Started in 2018 by Keith Long, God Fodder has always been “Cliff Notes” for the listener’s mind and soul. Greg Heinecke joins Keith one last time to reminisce on four seasons and the 65 episodes. Great memories on entertaining segments and thought-provoking or just-fun topics, along with recommendations from 2021 on what should be Seen, Read, or Heard. Come listen one more time, and “Thanks for listening!”

Happy Thanksgiving? Not so much--not when you learn the real Thanksgiving history, anyway. Immersing themselves in that fateful first “celebratory meal,” Greg and Keith discuss the massacres that inspired a well-loved American holiday and the humble change it requires the next time you sit together on the fourth Thursday of November for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and jello salad. Bring an open mind and compassionate heart as we dig into the dark side of our country’s origin story. Caution: You will never look at a pilgrim the same way again.

God Fodder comes through again, living up to being the Cliff notes for the mind and soul. How else would sexual education, paradise, trees, and storms connect? Or how about James Bond, The Wonder Years, and Walt Disney?! Throw in a “Seen, Read, Heard” segment and its assortment of suggested titles, and you have another enjoyable episode from season four.

Toxic positivity, airport security, and Ernest Hemingway are just a few of this episode’s Fodder. Keith and Greg return for a second round of topics of personal interest. Hear some banter on time zones and a promotion of Letters from a Skeptic, along with the favorite segment “Seen, Read, Heard.” #godfodderpodcast #fodderheads #doubtingfaithfully

What do the movies, Jesus, religious doubts, near-death experiences and mascots have in common? Well, you’ll just have to tune in to find out! Going off-road this week, Greg and Keith come prepared to fodder on topics of personal interest and leave it to chance and choice which ones they discuss together. It’s fun banter meets fascinating fodder, all in forty or so minutes. Thanks for listening! #godfodderpodcast #fodderheads #doubtingfaithfully #IANDS

Has it been a year, a year and a half, or longer since you were in a movie theater? For Greg and Keith, the time has been excruciating, draining them and, what Ann Masten, PhD, calls, their “surge capacity.” But shots are in arms and Big Screens are opening up, so this episode Greg and Keith talk about specific actions on how to refuel when depleted and how A Quiet Place (and QP, Part Two) did just that for them. Join in on some trivia, including a Shout-Out to the new national holiday Juneteenth, and refuel yourselves with another episode of God Fodder.

Are you a book lover? From Charles Dickens to Stephen King, Don Quixote to Lord of the Rings—story can captivate, entertain, teach and take us anywhere—but can story heal and transform us? If you’re as passionate about the power of words as we are, I think you know the answer. Page-turners unite in this episode devoted to all things literature—a treat for the mind, heart and imagination; it's God Fodder S4, E5: “The Power of Story.”

Is humor underrated? Greg and Keith discuss the November 10, 2020,  All in the Mind episode where Stanford Business School researchers Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas, authors of Humour Seriously, blame the workplace, starting at the age of twenty-three. They say humor should be “a tool for resilience and success at work” as it has “some surprisingly powerful effects on the mind that we should all embrace.” Plus Keith is in the Hot Seat with four questions on laughter, and Keith and Greg each share a life's most embarrassing moment. #laughter #allinthemind #godfodderpodcast #fodderheads

Have you ever been accused of taking a joke too far? Has a story ever fallen flat or flopped? Using Radiolab’s episode “Smile My Ass” from January 28, 2021, Greg and Keith dissect the fascinating history and the refinement of the pop culture juggernaut Candid Camera, created and hosted by Alan Funt. Both hilarious and jarring, this spy show was a marvelous example of social experiment meets comedic genius and the key elements that all stories and attempts at humor need in order to succeed. Greg straddles the Hot Seat for four questions and a thorough grilling by humor whiz Keith, as well as a look to what current staple of our society might be obsolete next in the icebreaker segment “Future’s Past.” #godfodderpodcast #CandidCamera #RadioLab #smilemyass #fodderheads

In S4: E2 “Why Everyone is Wrong,” Greg and Keith tackle the subject of biases and how we don’t know ourselves and others as well as we think we do. Pulling from the Hidden Brain podcast “The Double Standard,” from January 4, 2021, we fodder about how introspection betrays even the best of the self-aware crowd and by knowing just this one little thing, we can make reconciliation with our different minded neighbor a reality versus an impossibility. Tune in for more of what you dig about God Fodder, including some Hot Seat Trivia and a new favorite, “Future’s Past” reminiscing.  #bias #DoubleStandard #godfodderpodcast #fodderheads
