BONUS: SCOREBOARD

Hello, this is Elise morgenstein first.

Hi, hello, this is Megan Goodwin,

and we have some news for you.

We sure do. What's our news?

School board? scoreboard?

I don't know. I'm afraid what's happening? Why are you doing sports at

me? In the sports when your team overtakes another team, or a team is like booing you, you might suggest to those fans to check this check the scoreboard because you can be as mad as you want. But listen up bros. The scoreboard tells us who's winning.

What is the scoreboard tell us today?

Meg and I checked our scoreboard and we have officially hit 100,000 Plus downloads here. Well,

that's been your nose. That's That's what what even what nonsense.

And because we only achieve that ridiculous scoreboard score, because of our dear nerds, we thought we'd make them a little treat today.

No nonsense blast from the past. Yeah, what you're about to hear are outtakes from our very first recording session.

Anyway, nerds we really thought we would record three episodes maybe for our few good friends would listen and then Meghan would have learned audacity, I would have bought myself a microphone and we would wrap this thing up. We in no way thought that two and a half years later, we would be for grants 50 some odd episodes and a book deal into this thing. So thank you so much for listening. All 100,000 of those clicks.

We appreciate you so much. So, so many clicks. So many so many nerds. So many folks being smarter about religion. We appreciate you all

as a treat have a sound and like dummies

have a little nonsense. I'm sorry have little uh nonsense as a true scoreboard

Pajama party

if we offer a podcast up, it's a way to get in touch with our students. It's way to talk with fellow colleagues about how they might teach about religion. But also it's always about my dad. Is this something my dad can pop in his ears while he's doing his weirdo? Post military 5am walk around the block and actually learn a thing. And I think that kind of public scholarship needs to be in as many venues as

I'm worried about your dad to this Play.

Everyone's worried about what's up, Lloyd.

No, I Well, again, I run a program on public scholarship of religion. So I think I think contemporary Americans know shockingly little about religion. And more than that, I think they know less than they think they know. Public education in the United States doesn't talk about religion in constructive or academic ways.
