Polyphonic: Mission After Empire – Details, episodes & analysis

Hosted by Imer Santiago, Polyphonic: Mission After Empire is an eight-episode narrative podcast exploring the complex relationship between Christian mission and empire. Through candid conversations with historians, missiologists, practitioners, and everyday voices, the show traces inherited legacies, blind spots, and the tensions between faith, culture, and power. Music is more than background—it’s metaphor, glue, and sometimes the argument. Polyphonic invites listeners to hear many voices, each with its own melody, and to wrestle honestly with what it means to move forward in mission today.
