Keeping It 101: A Killjoy's Introduction to Religion Podcast
Keeping it 101 is the podcast that helps our nerdy listeners make sense of religion. Why religion? Well, if you read the news, have a body, exist in public, or think about race, gender, class, ability, or sexuality, you likely also think about religion — even if you don’t know it yet. Let us show you why religion is both a lot more important and a little easier to understand than you might think. Put us in your earholes and let us show you why religion isn’t done with you — even if you’re done with religion.

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.

Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst:
So Megan, what are we doing here? What is keeping it 101
Megan Goodwin:
Pajama party
Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst:
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 possible. And we are some chatty nerds can confirm why do you think you should be doing this? What is your role in this podcast?
Megan Goodwin:
I'm worried about your dad to this Play.
Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst:
Everyone's worried about what's up, Lloyd.
Megan Goodwin:
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. So everyone assumes that their personal experience with religion is universally visible. And that is, a not true and be really dangerous because we get into situations where people regulate legislate, incarcerate folks for doing religion in ways that aren't necessarily recognizable. They think of it as doing religion wrong. So I'm really concerned about the material effects of our understandings of religion. And I am hoping that the podcast can help folks like Lloyd understand why religion matters, even if they don't have personal religious commitments.
Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst:
So stay tuned and tune in.
Megan Goodwin:
Do your homework is on the syllabus.
Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst:
Peace out nerds. I feel like I've got this really dope announcer voice going on.
Megan Goodwin:
How are you not already a sportscaster is my question.
Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst:
Yeah. Then then just fulfill all of my tiny Butch fantasies.
