Keeping It 101: A Killjoy's Introduction to Religion Podcast
Profs. Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst and Megan GoodwinKeeping it 101 is the podcast that helps our nerdy listeners make sense of religion. Why religion? Well, if you read the news, have a body, exist in public, or think about race, gender, class, ability, or sexuality, you likely also think about religion — even if you don’t know it yet.

- Happy this was assigned homework!
I’m taking a World Religions class in seminary and the professor assigned an early episode of this podcast. Wow, I’m so glad she did, it’s fantastic! I love the substance and honesty of the hosts, and am learning so much. I plan on listening to every episode when I can. Thanks for your labor (and humor).

Apple Podcasts5$im1!United Statesa year ago - At last!
I have been looking for a podcast like this for years. I don’t know why, when I’ve searched for religious studies and religious theory or any other search terms that I’ve tried, I never found this one. Or maybe it did come up but I overlooked it. But recently, I did a search for Hannah McGregor because I love and enjoy her and Marcel’s work on the podcast Witch Please and Material Girls, and I found this in my search results and I am so excited and so grateful to be listening. I, like, I assume,... more
Apple Podcasts5Pandora CreatesUnited States2 years ago - this podcast is cathartic
currently relistening to selected episodes because i took an intro to world religions course at my community college (i want to be a religion scholar when i grow up, thanks for giving me life goals professors!), and it has been. Deeply Annoying. listen to this podcast, it’s better than a community college world religions class.
Apple Podcasts5Kyla DenaeUnited States3 years ago - The best thing in the study of religion in a generation
This pod is central to my Theories in the Study of Religion course because it is such good pedagogy. But it is also so so good for non academic people who just want to know more. But it such a good idea place to go for joy in this crazy world. That is such a gift. Thank you.
You want to know what we want to hear on the pod: I want to hear the two of you rant on Love Jihad (and similar nonsense)+racialization of religious identity. Please???
