Episode 6: Angels, Armies, and Armageddon: An Introduction the Christian End Times
What does the end of the world look like to you? Does it involve blood cloaks, multi-headed dragons, and Bill Clinton? More importantly, is it insanely metal? In Episode 6, the gang finds out that for Evangelicals, the end is both very long and oddly specific. MK takes us through how he learned some totally sick passages from the Book of Revelation as a kid in the 1990s, Ian expresses surprise at the “zombie-ness” of it all, and Kathy has both praise for the beautiful writing and Scully-style...

Episode 5: Leather Jackets in Heaven Forever
Did you have a favorite band when you were growing up? One that gave you a sense of identity and purpose? What if that purpose was saving your friends from eternal damnation by being super cool? MK takes the gang on a deep dive into one of his favorite bands in the late 80s / early 90s, Degarmo and Key. Their 1989 album, The Pledge, represented a turning point in both Christian rock music and MK's feelings about his faith. Ian explains his deeply rooted skepticism of Speaking in Tongues, and ...

Episode 3: Witnessing the Blob: Christian Summer Camp
Get out your marshmallows, graham crackers, and repressed feelings of queerness, ‘cause it’s time for summer camp—Christian style. Kathy and Ian listen with glee as MK recounts his stories of several different church related camps he attended while “selling out for Jesus.” From witnessing, to being flung off a balloon into a lake, it’s all fun and games until the preaching competition goes sideways—oops! At least he'll always have those saxophone dates in the woods.LinksThe Blob at Springhill...

Bonus Episode: Showeth & Telleth: Hell's Bells
Get ready throw up the horns (AKA "el cronado") for our very first Bonus Episode! Listener Elizabeth suggested the gang should watch the 1989 Christian documentary "Hell's Bells: The Dangers of Rock and Roll" and OH BOY DID WE EVER. MK is alternately reminded of his childhood and blown away, Kathy is inspired by Prince concert footage when she's not terrified of plant prophecies, and Ian has some sympathy for the (backmasking) devil.

Episode 2: Group Projects from Hell: The Satanic Panic
The Satanic Panic: the collective fear of Satanism sweeping North America in the 1980s. What really happened? Does playing D&D actually invoke Satan? How many times can the gang say the word “debunked”? MK tells us about his favorite ex-Satanist comedian/minister growing up, Ian breaks down the cultural timeline of events, and Kathy shares her skepticism about coordinating blood letting rituals when she can’t even schedule her friends for a get-together.
Content warning: mentions of suicide and mass shootings, and discussions about accusations of rape and child abuse (later debunked!)
