Weird Religion

My co-host Dr. Brian Doak and I are both professors, authors, and pop culture aficionados, whose interests range from archaeology and history and linguistics to LARPing and The Walking Dead. Weird Religion episodes highlight the wonderful weirdness of religious experiences— we begin with a documentary, a television show, a Twitter scandal—and talk about the richness and strangeness of religiosity in the United States and beyond. Heaven. Hell. The perils of fame within the evangelical world. Church attendance. Atheism. Gamer communities. Starting a cult. Join us.
