Making church history cool again. Or at least trying to. On this podcast Erik, Anna, and Skylar talk with leading historians of the Christian faith about their own journeys into studying the history of Christianity, as well as the relevance of their work for the church and Christian faith today. We also occasionally discuss life as a graduate student, especially thorny or interesting bits of church history, and whatever else comes to mind.

In this ten-part docu-series Dr. Bradley Onishi (co-host of Straight White American Jesus) uses Orange County, CA as a prism in order to trace the rise of the Religious Right through homegrown activism, local politics, presidential campaigns, billionaire donors, megachurches, media empires, and autocratic regimes at home and abroad. Combining personal storytelling with scholarly research and interviews with leading scholars, the Orange Wave unpacks the inner workings of the Religious Right’s approaches to masculinity, apocalypticism, authoritarian rule, and conspiracy theories.

Welcome to the Our Patriots Podcast! The podcast shines a light on Revolutionary War Patriots who have been featured in DAR’s award-winning American Spirit magazine, narrated by President General Denise Doring VanBuren.

Well-known Patriots such as Artemas Ward, Mercy Otis Warren, John Jay and Nathanael Green will be familiar to many, but listeners may be introduced to new names, such as Windsor Fry and Hannah Tillman. The stories of these Patriots are so important to remember and honor—and the DAR hopes to make them known to a broader audience through this medium.

Hollywoodland is a podcast that takes place at the intersection of Hollywood and True Crime. It’s where you’ll hear the stories about our most beloved actors, directors, and other icons of movie history through the lens of the crimes that have impacted them. The mysterious death of Brittany Murphy. The obsessive murder of Dorothy Stratten. Woody Harrelson’s father’s connection to the JFK assassination. The three conspiracies surrounding Marilyn Monroe’s death. Steve McQueen’s brush with Charles Manson. The indecent arrest of John Waters. Dennis Hopper’s easy riding and raging ’70s Hollywood. The shocking small town murder that inspired David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. Heath Ledger’s overdose. Robert Downey Jr. hitting rock bottom, only to stage the greatest comeback in movie history. From the Golden Age of Hollywood to New Hollywood all the way to contemporary moviemakers, Hollywoodland features tales of murder, kidnapping, organized crime, curses, disappearances, prison escapes, and hauntings. You know, the kind of stuff that makes for the best movies.

True to its subject matter, Hollywoodland is a cinematic brand of audio storytelling. Think less of a Ken Burns documentary, and more of a fast-paced, highly transgressive Martin Scorsese film, co-hosted by movie and true crime buffs Jake Brennan and Zeth Lundy. Fully scripted, sound-designed episodes from our archive are released every Monday. These “movies for your ears” are narrated by Jake and feature Double Elvis’ edge-of-your-seat audio storytelling. On Wednesdays, we drop brand new “Wrap Party” episodes, a chat-style show in which Zeth responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from listeners, while also talking more about that week’s subject and themes (including guest appearances by Jake for weekly recommendations). And then on Fridays, we release new “Screening Room” episodes, in which Zeth deep dives into one film – after which, the audience is encouraged to watch that film over the weekend, and then call or text the show so that we can discuss it further in the following week’s Wrap Party.

I’m TK, your guide to the past as we uncover the people, events, and little-known facts hidden in the shadows of your old history textbooks. From empress baddies to activist profiles, turkey gods, and the history of the toothbrush, tattoos, Pompeii peepees, and everything in between, you can find it all here. There is no telling how far we’ll dig or how many historical facts we’ll reexamine. No event is too small and no topic too big, because this is For The Love of History.
