That free spirit keeps on moving
2026/08/11
This week, we're exploring Marguerite Porete a bit further with Simon Critchley's book Faith of the Faithless.

The Movement of the Free Spirit
2026/08/05
With the recent passing of Raoul Vaneigem, we're spending this episode talking about his book the Movement of the Free Spirit. It's a weird book about a heretical trend in medieval Christianity that pointed people toward freedom rather than repression. But, to be honest, it's a pretty mixed bag!
Check out the book over here on Archive.org

Life is useless
2026/07/22
In a world where the IMF has said the entire stock of whales are worth 1 trillion dollars and biological offsets equivocate one threatened environment for another, Christianity can help us think of life as worthless and beyond value altogether.
We've got a new episode where we're talking about the valuation of life and how we can reframe the way we think about value altogether. To get there, we're chatting through a big philosophical idea about the valuation of life and ecology. In the episode we talk about Marika Rose's Theology for the End of the World, Phillippe Maia's Trading Future, and a bunch of other weird philosophy guys.

Herzog!!
Herzog’s reading of Jesus’ parables are a breath of fresh air. Thanks for diving into them.
Maybe more might make their way into future episodes?

They frown on evangelization and can’t really talk about theology or the Bible. Marxism though, they are really passionate about Marxism. They are ver...

The best
Matt B and Dean D are a dynamic duo. They are funny and offer an impressive perspective on Christianity and the intersection of socialism.
