Unique perspectives on religion in society
I should preface this review by saying that I’m not a church-going religious person, but I really enjoy this podcast. Ashley provides a unique perspective on how religion pervades our culture. I learn something new in every episode and at the very least Ashley provides interesting content if you’re ever looking to make conversation at a party. 😀 I like to think I’m more culture conscious and well rounded by listening to this podcast.
