Tribulation Farce: A Left Behind Podcast

GeeklyIncshows.acast.com
Tribulation Farce is a comedy podcast about the Christian Fiction series: Left Behind. Join Harvard Divinity School Grad Jennifer Cheek and her Comedian/Gamer husband Tim Lanning for a chapter-by-chapter analysis of each and every Left Behind book. We'll discuss the Christian Right's obsession with conspiracy theories, the Apocalypse, and hopefully, the humor therein. New episodes every other Sunday until the Rapture.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
