"Saltier than Mr. Peanut's jock strap"*
Happy 300 episodes!! I am a Day 1 and this podcast has been with me through 10 moves, 2 job changes, and several road trips over the last 6 years. Today Michaela shouted out Erin's nicknames for terrible people, which are great, but so are her allusions, similes, and metaphors. The whole crew is awesome and I thank them for supplying most of my news😜
* if I am remembering correctly, this is from summer of 2020. I heard it when I was pulling in to my garage parking space. Laughed out loud
Hateful and embarrassing
This is a long one, because I have listened for two years and I think it’s important to hold people accountable. I’ve had some concerns for a while now that Hysteria was just the liberal version of the hateful conservative shows that I think are unhealthy to listen to. My final straw happened to be the May 23rd ep. Erin confidently claims that the Bible supports blaming women, which is just academically incorrect. (just because a person in a story is punished does not mean the narrative is supporting that result; sometimes stories are showing injustice.) There is an entire academic field of study on this topic, if you really cared what any of those stories meant when they were written, or if you really wanted to know what actual Christians think of those stories. Beyond this fundamental lack of knowledge, the show makes disgusting generalizations about Christians, by assuming that the extremists are the norm or majority. Also, all the examples of scripture given are the ones shared with J*****m, so all the trash talk would also apply to them, whether you meant it or not. And if your response to that is, “No, they interpret it differently”, that is exactly my point. It can be, and is, interpreted and used differently by different groups. Acting like the right wing evangelicals are the baseline of the religion is factually incorrect and prejudiced. Having a podcast with such a large audience means you have a responsibility to, at the bare minimum, not be an a-hole because that inspires others to be same way. (Censored J because my original review was never posted. I think apple is indiscriminately filtering that and related words.)
My favorite
I love this pod so much! The combination of intelligence/snark/humor makes me look forward to Tuesdays and Thursdays, especially since I listen to it at work.
