No political balance = no thank you.
I used to appreciate the Culture Matters podcast and have listened to just about every episode to date. I previously enjoyed well rounded & lively discussions on current events, and while I didn’t always agree with everything said, I appreciated thought provoking discussion and various viewpoints from a Christian worldview. That said, I have noticed a clear political bias taking over that is no longer balanced in its approach — for example, Biden is touted as the desired presidential winner in spite of his position on abortion, Elizabeth Woodson promotes Michelle Obama’s book, and in more than one episode, the NY Times and other widely recognized liberal media are surprisingly esteemed as having accurate and balanced reporting (take a look at the July 2020 resignation letter from NY Times editor, Bari Weiss** if you want insight and balance to this view). This podcast seems to be evolving into an echo chamber for liberal political views — no thank you. ** “... the lessons that ought to have followed the election—lessons about the importance of understanding other Americans, the necessity of resisting tribalism, and the centrality of the free exchange of ideas to a democratic society—have not been learned. Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.” - Bari Weiss

I mean, yeah, the substance of the podcast is great, but what does it for me is the audio quality and choice of music. Someone give that audio editor a raise!

I was really excited to listen to this podcast to get some Christian commentary on current events in our culture. I have listened to all the episodes, and while some of them are a decent listen, most of them come across as extremely patronizing and like the hosts are explaining how us peasants...Read full review »
