  2. #5: When They Go Low, We Go Bahá'í

    ٢٩‏/١١‏/٢٠١٦

    #5: When They Go Low, We Go Bahá'í

    If you're not familiar with the Bahá'í Faith, you're not alone. It has roots in Persia, and now is the second most widespread religion in the world, after Christianity (in terms of geographic reach). The religion still has followers in the Middle East, but there are also large populations and major churches in Australia, Germany, India, Panama, and the United States. It was also ranked by Foreign Policy Magazine as the world's second fastest growing religion by percentage (1.7%) in 2007. In this episode, Max talks with Kayla, a 21-year-old Bahá'í in Santa Cruz, California. She shares some background on the faith and it's viewpoints, and talks about what it was like growing up with a religion unfamiliar to some of the people she encountered.

  3. #4: Around The World

    ١٣‏/١١‏/٢٠١٦

    #4: Around The World

    We planned to make this episode about the importance that exposure to other cultures and faiths can have on our own religious understanding long before November 8. Then, Donald Trump won the presidential election, and it took on a whole new meaning for us. If this episode has any greater lesson, it's that religion, ethnicity, culture and spirituality can divide us, but they can also help bring us together and find unexpected unity. In this episode, we talk to Suman about learning to understand her time at a Sikh private school in India, and Jordan, about what spending time in Qatar taught her about the role of Mormonism in her life.

    #3: Born This Way

    If you ask a millennial how they became the faith they are, most will tell you they just grew up that way. Our parents play a huge role in shaping our religious understanding, for better or for worse. In this episode, we talk to Molly and Hayden, two millennials with atypical religious family situations. We also talk to our own parents to get answers about some of the things that shaped our religion when we were growing up.

    Bonus: Baptists, Homeschooling and Snake Handling

    Clint grew up in Parrottsville, Tennessee, a small town with 264 people about one hour outside of Knoxville. For eighteen years, he was a devout Fundamental Independent Baptist, leading him eventually to study the sect in an academic setting. In this bonus episode, we talk to Clint about his childhood, misconceptions about his former faith, and the role of the church in Appalachia. More importantly, we hope to introduce listeners to a religious experience they might not be familiar with. If you want to share your own story, or know someone with a unique background, tell us!

  6. #2: Love Trumps Faith

    ١٦‏/١٠‏/٢٠١٦

    #2: Love Trumps Faith

    If you’ve heard anything about religion this election, it’s probably about Donald Trump's proposal to ban Muslim immigrants or Tim Kaine and Mike Pence discussing their Christian values during the Vice Presidential debate. It's not a coincidence that as the United States becomes less religious, the way we discuss religion during elections has changed too. In this episode, we consider Bernie Sanders' Judaism, the problems with pandering to young voters and the changing role of religion in American politics.

  7. #1: Bye Bye Bible

    ٠٢‏/١٠‏/٢٠١٦

    #1: Bye Bye Bible

    Millennials are the least religious generation in recent U.S. history, in part because so many young people are deciding to distance themselves from the religion they grew up with. In this episode, we try to understand why so many millennials are saying bye bye to their Bibles, or their Qur'an or Torah or Tripitakas or other holy books.
