Heretic Party is a funny, awkward, and sometimes scary audio program hosted by two dorks who grew up into religious leadership, then grew out of religion. Put your childhood traumas to bed and join the post-religious as we listen to stories about the wacky shit we all went through. Together we can begin to expose the ways in which religion is twisted up inside our culture, politics, education, and media. Episodes are released every other Sunday

A Blast for You and a Blasphemy: a B-Movie with Horror Fashion Review
In this episode, Grace from Horror Fashion Review joins us to watch a hilariously sacrilegious film about assassin nuns! Sister Wrath (aka Nun of That) is a wacky (and sometimes problematic) 2008 indie film with all the stuff you love: gay nuns fighting Italian gangsters with bad accents, straight nuns fighting Jewish assassins, and bisexual nuns comin' on to Jesus/Satan. AND, a cameo from Lloyd Kaufman as the Pope!.. For real..
Also in this Episode:
Who is the best dressed slasher?What's the best name for an Italian strip club/spaghetti joint?Which of the hosts met Lloyd Kaufman irl?What does the Bible actually say about Lesbians?

Customer Reviews
This Podcast is awesome
I was made aware of Heretic Party in September 2022 when driving with my sister who is friends with Christian. I generally don’t listen to a lot of podcasts (except for exercise related ones as I’m a Strength Coach). I was immediately drawn in by how clever, funny, insightful, and honest the hosts and guests are. I didn’t grow up with very much religious influence- at least relative to the experiences shared in the show- and believe me when no tell you this… I NEVER had interest in listening to a religious based podcast. But, Joe, Christian, and Leanne share such incredible stories and experiences and in such an enjoyably insightful way it really gives the listener a sense of communion *hehe* with them. These guys are immensely entertaining for those both post religious and not and are just overall interesting, funny, loving, people and you’ll feel like they are your friends after 2 episodes. Give it a listen. Ya heretic.
Better than socks
I just got a really cool pair of socks. It has Santa Claus sitting on a beach wearing sunglasses and a speedo. He has his hat off and it turns out he’s bald. It blew my mind. I always thought Santa probably had wispy white hair but boy was I wrong. I like this podcast even more than I like my new pair of socks. Good job!
Great!
Really enjoying this podcast. Looking forward to new episodes!
