Love Rev. Sharpton ,

Love this podcast - perfect for covid times

I just discovered and binged this podcast. As an English major, I love the literary analysis and comparisons with Orthodox Christianity; as a “lucky” person to be living in these historical times of covid and revolution, contemplating nihilism and end times is satisfyingly cathartic.
Well produced with music and sound effects. Keep up the good work!
