Keeping it 101 is the podcast that helps our nerdy listeners make sense of religion. Why religion? Well, if you read the news, have a body, exist in public, or think about race, gender, class, ability, or sexuality, you likely also think about religion — even if you don’t know it yet. Let us show you why religion is both a lot more important and a little easier to understand than you might think. Put us in your earholes and let us show you why religion isn’t done with you — even if you’re done with religion.

BOOK CLUB: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye
WHAT A PREDICAMENT this year has been, nerds! 2023 was in many ways, uh, not our fave.
But we thought it would be good to end this chronological rollercoaster on a high note, so:
You are cordially invited to join us for a cozy winter Gothic misandrist queer murder book club moment! We're reading Lyndsay Faye's delightfully dark Jane Steele, and we think you should, too.
We'll be back at the end of January to chat about the novel. In the meantime, hit us up on social media with comments or questions so we can feature y'all on the pod! Pick up a copy at your local library or independent bookstore, as Levar Burton intended.
And as always, be sure to visit keepingit101.com for full show notes, homework, transcripts, & more.

It is November, RELI nerds! And too many of you know what that means.
That's right: the American Academy of Religion's annual national meeting is once again upon us, just in time for price-gouging airfare and pre-Thanksgiving travel mayhem.
But it also means Megan and Ilyse are going to be at AAR together for the first time since 2019!!! And we're celebrating this momentous occasion by convening our first ever Keeping It 101 OFFICE HOURS.
Last season's awesome interns made us awesome stickers and other awesome swag, and all of it is yours for the showing up and asking. Let's all gaze upon one another's weary, beautiful faces and be glad we're still here.
We'll be on the patio of the Marriott San Antonio Rivercenter from 3-4pm CST on Saturday, 18 November.
Come through!

Customer Reviews
At last!
I have been looking for a podcast like this for years. I don’t know why, when I’ve searched for religious studies and religious theory or any other search terms that I’ve tried, I never found this one. Or maybe it did come up but I overlooked it. But recently, I did a search for Hannah McGregor because I love and enjoy her and Marcel’s work on the podcast Witch Please and Material Girls, and I found this in my search results and I am so excited and so grateful to be listening. I, like, I assume, many people, love furthering my education, knowledge, and understanding, but don’t have a place in or access to the academic world and works that you build your episodes around. Thank you thank you thank you for making this kind of deep learning accessible!
this podcast is cathartic
currently relistening to selected episodes because i took an intro to world religions course at my community college (i want to be a religion scholar when i grow up, thanks for giving me life goals professors!), and it has been. Deeply Annoying. listen to this podcast, it’s better than a community college world religions class.
Incredible Show and Deserves All the Flowers!!!
This podcast has quickly become my favorite podcast! As someone with a masters in theology, their introductions to religious studies have been so incredibly clear and easy to follow. Superb Work!!!
