Neon Genesis Evangelicals - Carman

The boys take a step away from Tim and Jerry in a new companion series to ISTR. Neon Genesis Evangelicals takes a closer look at some of the most notable and controversial figures in the modern evangelical movement.

Our pilot episode centers on the TBN troubadour: Carmello Licciardello (more commonly known as simply "Carman". This bombastic arena artist holds the alleged world record for the largest attended christian music concert of all time. He soared to popularity through the 80s and 90s with his unmistakable brand of gospel music, spoken word, dance, and fear-baiting that is right in line with the biggest figures of the Satanic Panic.
