Good Christian Fun

This show changed my life! I love you, Kevin and Caroline! Thanks for making Christian trauma a real thing.

I have enjoyed listening to GCF since its first year, but the show totally changed in 2024 when Caroline left and Alyssa and Jeremy came on. Jeremy and Kevin do their best to maintain some semblance of a podcast, but the conversation is derailed literally every 5 minutes because Alyssa wasn’t paying attention or tells an unrelated personal anecdote. The patreon episodes are still fine but the main podcast is really, really hard to listen to with Alyssa as a host. She seems like a fine person as a friend but she is so terrible at podcasting that main feed gcf is pretty unlistenable now.

I was hoping to hear a good natured show that would help me work through my affection and nostalgia for certain Christian media and feel seen as an atheist former youth group kid. I’ve now listened to about six or seven episodes from throughout the show’s run. The early episodes feature guests who have no affection for the subject matter and the recent episodes come across as unedited incomprehensible Skype calls. Mostly the show just feels mean spirited, over analyzing, giving bad takes, and punching down at artists who were trying to make something cool in good faith. The best example was their “search for the worst Christian song of all time” where they would spend multiple episodes piling on and complaining about some of the most famous and often excellent Christian songs. What a let down.
