Patreon isn’t worth it, but podcast is good

“I really enjoy listening to Dan M. approach the Bible (and/or modern American concepts about the Bible) from a purely academic, non-theological perceptive. A lot of people critique him for supposed bias, and acknowledging bias is something all scholars — from medicine to literature — should do.
But Dan’s not making dogmatic assertions or telling people how they must understand their faith. He just points listeners to the academic consensus about any given topic, and occasionally challenges listeners to consider the social/relational impact of popular dogmas.
Dan Beecher adds some nice levity, and sometimes helps make the conversation more accessible by asking questions. I do often find myself wishing I could interject questions of my own, because I feel like a lot of common questions/assumptions get missed — but I rarely listen to podcasts at a time when I can also take notes and post them to the Patreon discussion. Idk, maybe that’s something I need to change.
Speaking of Patreon, I haven’t really been impressed with the subscriber benefits. The “bonus” episodes are just two guys rambling, often off topic. I quit on the Angels & Demons follow up because they literally weren’t having a relevant conversation. They just kept recording themselves talking.
Between that and the fact that they don’t seem to spend a lot of time focused on answering the questions of their Patrons, I’m not really sure what the point of the Patreon is. If the remaining bonus episodes in October remain as unfocused, I plan to cancel my membership. That said, don’t let this discourage you from listening to the main podcast. It’s eye opening and thought provoking!”

“My one and only complaint about this podcast is that you don’t offer a new one everyday; is that asking too much? : ) I appreciate how your podcast is scholarly without being overly heavy, and it never feels like you are talking down to your audience, though I’m guessing that most of your...”Read full review »
