The Popcast With Knox and Jamie

I started listening to the Popcast just before the pandemic. And honestly, it was one of the things that saved me during that time and in this time after. So thankful for the delightful idiocies I hear each week!

My favorite escape

Imagine your two hilarious best friends decided to go hard in the paint for pop culture current events, sometimes inviting your third best friend (who knows next to nothing about pop culture) to weigh in… these dummies keep riffing and sometimes dunking on A to D list celebs and the shows/movies they make… and even when you’re already peeing just a little, they won’t stop with the jokes. Imagine that chaos and delight showing up in your podcast feed every week (or if you’re like me, ad-free 2 or 3 times a week), reminding you that nothing really matters except the things that actually do matter. When the world is on fire and you just need to escape to a quirkily decorated panic room, Knox & Jamie & Erin will be there with the conversational equivalent of Nerf guns full of Kool-Aid to make the world go away for as long as you need them to.

I used to be a diehard fan. I loved the light hearted self deprecation, hilarious commentary on popular culture, and overall silliness. Jamie and Knox have slowly transitioned their content to excessively mocking Christianity, crossing the line to sacrilegious and it is UNCOMFORTABLE; pushing far left political views ad nauseam when this podcast used to be an escape from the serious; and hero worshipping Erin for an hour, who is actually not at all funny because she is relentlessly try-hard and not at all a Bible scholar per her claim. Jamie and Knox- mocking God but then saying “but it’s okay, I’m a Christian,” is actually not okay and doesn’t align with anything in the Bible. Also, if something in the Bible makes you uncomfortable, you don’t get to decide it’s not literal because it makes you feel better. Shame on you for using your platform to mock the God you say you love and to point people away from Him. I’m embarrassed to say I used to be such a big fan, because now I don’t want any association with The Popcast.
