Killer Fun explores the intersection of crime and entertainment. A couple times a month we watch a television show, movie, read a book, play a game or delve into other forms of entertainment that involve crime - both real and fictional. Join Christy and Jackie for some well-researched facts - and laughs - every episode. We don’t LIKE crime, but we are fascinated by it. Christy is a super-sleuth when it comes to internet research and Jackie has a Master's degree in Psychology from Harvard. Em ...

Welcome to Tea ...

Josh and Christy explore the highs and the lows - the mountains and the sea, if you will - of every Prince album. Each album will get two or more episodes, as needed. The first will focus on the album tracks with a brief discussion of each song and our selections for the mountain, the sea, and the time capsule - the song that most represents the era of recording. The second and other subsequent episodes will feature information about and commentary on ancillary materials: B sides, music vide ...

“For those of us who are drawn into church  history and church tradition and to reading theology,  there is very little as transformative as realizing that history is populated by women and men like us who tried to follow Christ in their own time and place and culture and circumstances,  some of whom succeeded. … Looking at the saints, they make me…

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wa…

History reveals a lot of things about human nature: our innate drive towards progress, discovery, relationship, community. Often motivated by a drive to feel safe and flourish. But despite this instinct, history also shows that we’re prone to inflicting and being complicit to grave and violent injustices. We fail, regularly, at living well with our…

To true fans, baseball is so much more than a sport. Some call it the perfect game. Some see it as a field of dreams. A portal to another dimension. Some see it as a road to God. Others—”heathen” we might call them—find the game unutterably boring. Too confusing, too long, too nit-picky about rules. In this episode, Yankee fan John Sexton (Presiden…

Julian of Norwich is known and loved for the lines revealed to her by God, “All shall be well and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.” But beyond the comfort of this understandably uplifting phrase, what are theological and philosophical insights we might learn from this anonymous medieval Christian mystic and anchoress?
