Description
Heretic Happy Hour is an unapologetically irreverent, crass, and sometimes profound conversation about the intersection of culture and the Christian faith. Hosts Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano, alongside a rotating panel of guest hosts that include theologians and therapists, professors and prophets, mystics and misfits, pull no punches and leave no stones unturned. For some serious sacred cow-tipping, there’s nothing better than spending an hour of your time with us.

the "don't talk about politics and religion/say it to my face" guy sounds like a dumbass.
Interesting topics and conversations. If you're an apologist, you should be listening. If you are questioning your faith, you should be listening.
great show!
