In Episode One, we talk with Elizabeth Schrader Polczer, whose groundbreaking work on Mary Magdalene is reshaping our understanding of this biblical person. Elizabeth’s own search for Mary Magdalene is a story worth hearing, but the new light she sheds on this controversial figure will undoubtedly change the way you read the Gospel of John.
Later on in the season, we talk with Peter Choi about the meaning of monuments in American history and what it means to dismantle them. We talk with Willie Francois III about the US incarceration system and imagining a world without it. You do not want to miss our conversations with cosmologist and journalist Zeeya Merali about physics and free will, Rodger Kamenetz about truth in dreaming, and Sofia Samatar about telling the truths of other people. It’s a season rich with insights into this conflicted but indispensable thing we call truth.
