  • From the Archive: Reza Aslan

    From the Archive: Reza Aslan
    Oct 11 2024
    Today I'm publishing an archival episode with Reza Aslan, who called my book Exvangelical & Beyond "[a]n insightful exploration of faith, identity, and activism in a nation at the crossroads of religious fervor and social change…At once alarming and hopeful, this is a book that every American must read, regardless of religious affiliation.” Exvangelical & Beyond is available in stores now! Check out my newsletter, which links to all my recent appearances. In the season 1 finale of Powers & Principalities (originally published on 11/30/2020), I spoke with Reza Aslan about what we've learned about the United States during the Trump administration. In particular, we discussed what it means that 70 million Americans voted for Trump to be re-elected, the cult-like characteristics of Trumpism, the 'geography of identity' of Trumpism, the role of the media, and much more. Reza Aslan is author of several books, including God: A Human History, Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth, and Beyond Fundamentalism. He is also Professor of Creative Writing at the University of California, Riverside and executive producer of Rough Draft with Reza Aslan and the CNN documentary series, Believer.

  • The Good Books: Tia Levings, author of A Well-Trained Wife

    The Good Books: Tia Levings, author of A Well-Trained Wife
    Aug 16 2024
    Today's guest is the author Tia Levings, writer of the new book A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy. You may also know her from the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People and her newsletter The Anti-Fundamentalist. Her memoir is visceral and powerful, and just joined the bestseller list. Buy it here (this link supports the show). Content warning: Tia's story is a survivor story and includes aspects of trauma and abuse. Please note that Descript (my editing software) was over-zealous in removing "filler words" so while I usually remove my "ums" as much as possible, I had to publish this episode with them intact. Pre-order my book, Exvangelical & Beyond, which hits stores on 9/24/2024!

    The Good Books: TImothy Morton, author of Hell: In Search of A Christian Ecology
    Jun 28 2024
    In this episode, I got to speak to Timothy Morton. They are the author of over 20 books, including their most recent, Hell: In Search of A Christian Ecology. Timothy is a recent convert to Christianity after decades exploring Buddhism and other philosophies, and their prior book Hyperobjects was very helpful in the development of my manuscript. We talk about environmentalism, neologisms, hyperobjects, and much more. This is a wide-ranging and lightly-edited interview. Content note: this conversation includes discussion of child abuse, sexual abuse, and complex PTSD. Learn more about Timothy Morton's other books and works here. Pre-order my book, Exvangelical & Beyond, here. Kirkus Reviews has written a starred review of the book, which you can read here.
