What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This has become one of my favorite podcasts! As an agnostic, this is helping me to understand what is happening in the US. I love all the insight into religion and historical context! Everyone should listen to this podcast!

tinasm · Jun 2025

Helpful for those who are or have had to deconstruct from the harmful effects religion. Monte and her guests provide information for those who wish to challenge themselves and learn to expose the reasons why religion has morphed into the political system we see today. I love the history lessons from qualified guests.

was good now not do much · May 2025

Monte is the only person that I can listen to about spirituality and not have trauma triggers. She is a breath of fresh air.

Sisterjessie · May 2025

Growing up in the faith and turning away from the church as an adult bc of many of the same reasons as Monte, I love hearing her break down the rhetoric and use the Bible against those who hide behind it to push their nationalist agendas
