Heretic Happy Hour
Quoir
Heretic Happy Hour is an unapologetically irreverent, crass, and sometimes profound conversation about the intersection of culture and the Christian faith. Hosts Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano, alongside a rotating panel of guest hosts that include theologians and therapists, professors and prophets, mystics and misfits, pull no punches and leave no stones unturned. For some serious sacred cow-tipping, there’s nothing better than spending an hour of your time with us.
New shows every Tuesday, with bonus episodes on Fridays and Sundays.
