A weekly podcast exploring stories at the intersection of faith and culture through an inclusive Christian lens. This week Mitch and Autumn talk about the Big Tent of the Republican Party, and whether or not it may be stretching too thin. They also discuss the GameStopping of Wall Street and the very slow rollout of Covid-19 vaccines.
Later, investigative reporter and author, Sarah Posner, joins the show. Sarah is a Reporting Fellow with Type Investigations. Her investigative reporting and analysis on the religious right in Republican politics has appeared in Rolling Stone, The New Republic, Vice, HuffPost, The Nation, Mother Jones, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The American Prospect, Talking Points Memo, and many other publications.
Her new book, Unholy: Why White Evangelicals Worship at the Altar of Donald Trump is now available. Her 2008 book, God's Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters, explored the unholy alliance between the Republican Party and prosperity televangelists. She brings stunning insight to the January 6th Insurrection and the many tangled roots that led to it.
