Weird Religion: A Podcast (Podcast Series)

Podcast Series. A podcast for people who know religion is weird, but love it anyway. Your hosts, Leah Payne and Brian Doak, are both professors, authors, and pop culture aficionados, whose interests range from archaeology and history and linguistics to LARPing and The Walking Dead. Episodes tackle some piece of media highlighting the wonderful weirdness of religious experience—a documentary, a television show, a Twitter scandal—and use that as a thread on which to hang pearly reflections on a wide variety of topics. Heaven. Hell. The perils of fame within the evangelical world. Church attendance. Atheism. Gamer communities. Starting a cult. Join us.
