049: Salty Not Psalty: Alissa Wilkinson on Food, Film, and Revolutionary Women

Writer, film critic and professor Alissa Wilkinson joins the VCW pod to talk about her new book "Salty: Lessons on Eating, Drinking, and Living from Revolutionary Women"!  She shares her Evangelical story, discusses her jobs which include being a professor at King's College, a film critic at Vox and an author.  Finally, we talk about her favorite film from last year "Bergman Island", Ingmar Bergman, and the Columbine martyrdom fantasy that came out of the horrific late 90s school shooting.
