“Letter to the American Church,” Or: We Expose Metaxes’ Lies. Ft. Josh Boerman

It’s a classic “we read a conservative book and get mad” episode!

This time we take on pseduo-biographer and self-proclaimed public intellectual Eric Metaxes and his 2022 book, “Letter to the American Church.” Eric says he sees scary parallels to nazi Germany in today’s USA…and he thinks Donald Trump is going to stop it.

Joining us is 7-time returning guest and evangelical-freak-understander Josh Boerman. Together we will crash out about Eric and, somewhere in the rage, try to figure out the core of his ideology and how to fight it.

Check out Josh’s phenomenal podcasts, The Worst of All Possible Worlds and Ill Concieved, at his website!
