The Journey of Forgiveness

In this podventure, we discuss the episode “The Homecoming,” in which the town of Odyssey is all stirred up over the rumor that Richard Maxwell has returned. Well, spoilers, he has. And further spoilers, no, he is not up to no good. He is actually here to apologize to everyone he hurt during album 5. It’s a surprisingly emotionally intimate episode about the importance of asking for forgiveness, whether it’s likely to be granted or not. It’s also our only Richard perspective episode, so buckle in because we have 2 hours worth of thoughts. Also, needing vs. wanting forgiveness, the Gospel for perpetrators vs the Gospel for victims, and the newly coined Richard Maxwell Checklist™.
