In this episode, Brad speaks with journalist Amanda Marcotte about her recent Salon article dissecting the rise of Girls Gone Bible—a podcast hosted by two former actresses turned Christian influencers. While the show presents itself as a lighthearted, faith-based space for young women, Amanda and Brad unpack how it subtly promotes a conservative political agenda.

They explore the podcast’s growing influence, the scandal involving one of the hosts, and what this says about the broader landscape of Christian influencer culture. The episode closes with predictions about the future of Girls Gone Bible and how it may continue shaping the beliefs and values of its audience.
