| The One Where We Are Beer Camp Champions | 14 Nov 2025 | 01:13:26 | |
Leah said "let's drink beer to celebrate beer camp," and then this podcast really went off the rails. Come listen to us talk about: football, what makes something pumpkin spice, responsible use of medicine, religion as a humanistic endeavor, why we are better than the boys, and liberation theology. Also, Kristy frustrates Leah so much, she screams! | |||
| The One Where We're Statler and Waldorf | 10 Oct 2025 | 01:12:49 | |
Or Merry and Pippin...Ryan Does is really the expert in these comparisons, so check with him. What we know is that when you think humor, you think Leah and Kristy. Or Mark Twain. Whichever. Come laugh with us. | |||
| The one where we turn 3 and get an airbrush Format shirt | 02 Oct 2025 | 01:15:48 | |
Welcome to Season 3! Though, alas, we did not get airbrushed Format shirts. (Hook ya girls up, though.) Come join us as we cover a lot of events and topics from the Current Times, with the levity we're known for (as well as a guest appearance by Salem and as per the season, some football chat). | |||
| The One Where We Turn Into Komodo Dragons Probably | 18 Sep 2025 | 01:01:34 | |
The final episode of the Summer of Rejection! Come join us as we discuss Kristy's literary obsession, Shark Heart! (by Emily Habek) An absurdist tale of a man who turns into a great white shark, it's a great way for us to discuss the absurd aspects of life, the grief and the hope we all experience outside of rationality. | |||
| The One Where We Have Really Positive Thoughts and Feelings About Sports | 04 Sep 2025 | 01:15:26 | |
Don't worry, this is not turning into a football podcast. We stopped ourselves. We continue our Summer Series of Rejection with Leah's paper on sectarianism, and we talk about the way sports rivalries (especially in certain areas) can reveal deeper issues within our communities. This is a great paper that deserves to be out in the world, so come listen! | |||
| The One Where We're All Here Now | 29 Aug 2025 | 01:23:48 | |
Summer of Rejection continues, finally! We're back, y'all. Apologies, but we had a lot of things (beaches and mountains) to see. But don't you worry, because we're continuing with our series with a discussion of Kristy's sadly rejected chapter on why the finale of Lost was really good, actually. Join us, help rank the hottest Lost men, and sorry for the football chat. | |||
| The one where we get our kinky boots on and do the time warp, again | 18 Jun 2025 | 01:11:21 | |
Summer of Rejection Episode 1! Leah goes first with her proposal to link the Rocky Horror Picture Show to the indecent theology of Marcella Althaus-Reid. | |||
| Summer of Rejection: The Trailer! (Also, Important Social Concerns to Start) | 14 Jun 2025 | 00:37:37 | |
It's us, so what was meant to be a short trailer for our summer series has a quite long intro. But y'all means ALL and your aunts support immigrants. Go out and do your civic duty. And then get ready, because we have a really exciting summer series coming up! | |||
| The One Where We Discuss Butts and Camera Phones and Japan | 04 Jun 2025 | 00:56:27 | |
Get your mind out of the gutter! We're talking about Japanese technology (minimally) and religion (maximally). There's also some dog talk at the start, because we are who we are. And you love us for it. | |||
| The One Where We Go Glamping in a Communist Country with Cigars | 08 May 2025 | 01:10:21 | |
This is just what Kristy hopes happens. But we do talk about all these things! And we also talk travel, learning about other religions, and self-reflection. Also, we bicker like sisters. It's hilarious. | |||
| The One Where Two Protestants Walk Into a Conclave | 01 May 2025 | 01:11:08 | |
We watched Conclave, and a conclave is on the horizon! Disclaimer, we have no real knowledge of how conclaves work, so if you do, please fill us in. But we do have thoughts about the movie, and Francis, and the progress of the Church universal. Grab a margarita and join us! | |||
| The One Where We Light a Candle, Light a Joint, and Hope For the Best | 19 Apr 2025 | 00:54:07 | |
It's Good Friday, so we're talking atonement theories! And also, why did God create us anyway, and what do we do about evil, and really, why did Jesus die? Come listen while we solve all these very big problems of the world. Plus, Good Friday demon stories. | |||
| The One Where We Cheers to the Annas (ish) | 05 Apr 2025 | 01:01:15 | |
Come join us as we talk about expertise, and why we should care! Leah and Kristy do work in interdisciplinary fields, but we aren't scientists or economists (also art is confusing), and that matters. So we talk about it. Also, join our Banned Books group--sign up in our linktree (or directly at our Patreon). | |||
| The One Where We Drink Green Beer and Make Out with a Leprechaun | 20 Mar 2025 | 01:22:37 | |
jkjk, we kid. But we do talk about Ireland! Specifically, what we can learn from Ireland--divisions, reconciliation, forgiveness, and justice. Plus, some exciting news about our Banned Books reading! Join us! | |||
| The One Where We Go to Bourbon Street and Throw Incense at Each Other | 06 Mar 2025 | 01:08:42 | |
It's Ash Wednesday! But we'd rather pretend it's still Mardis Gras. Or Shrove Tuesday. Or 2014. Kristy has internet issues, so you also get to appreciate Leah's incredible improv skills, and what it would be like if Leah and Kristy were the trinity. All while we discuss ritual and space and feeling spiritual. | |||
| The One Where We're All David Lynch In Our Hearts | 13 Feb 2025 | 01:25:35 | |
Dive into our hipster era, or at least Leah's most hipster era. We talk David Lynch and Kendrick Lamar, and how art changes our lives. Also do you want to join a banned books club? Let us know! We might start one! | |||
| The One Where We Talk About Things We Don't Want to Talk About | 23 Jan 2025 | 01:26:22 | |

| The one where we talk about what it means to be wicked, and the movie, clearly. | 05 Dec 2024 | 01:12:33 | |
We saw Wicked! And it's great, so we talked about the theology of it. Plus listen to hear which one of us you should go to if you need a shoulder to cry on. | |||
| The one where we discuss the merits of Jason Derulo as well as our American democracy | 14 Nov 2024 | 01:22:38 | |
It's like a therapy session on the roller coaster of emotions. Jason Derulo, the election, and dogs. Come laugh, cry, rage, and chat with us. | |||
| The One Where We Get Playful | 30 Oct 2024 | 01:05:02 | |

For more info, go to Jamie's website (https://www.jaimeclarksoles.com/) and listen for more resources she approves of. Also, absolutely zero thanks to Hurricane Milton, who messed with Kristy's internet. Sorry for the amateur editing in this one, y'all. | |||

| The One Where We talk about Natural Theology With Tripp Fuller | 10 Jun 2024 | 02:35:05 | |
Tripp and Kristy accidentally sound like Barthian loyalists, Leah makes sure we remember that all theology is practical theology, so we eventually get back to remembering who we are. It's long, it's fun, and it was live! | |||
