It has its good moments
I’ve enjoyed listening to Data Over Dogma for its deep dive into biblical scholarship and for bringing a well-informed, critical lens to scriptural interpretations. Hosts Daniel McClellan, a Bible scholar, and Dan Beecher, an atheist podcaster, provide engaging insights that challenge traditional readings and make complex topics more accessible to listeners. Their segments exploring biblical language, history, and context are particularly valuable for those wanting a non-traditional but rigorous approach to understanding scripture. However, I feel that the podcast often brings a pronounced political perspective that could detract from its appeal to those seeking a more neutral take on theology. This bias might sometimes overshadow the educational content, which is otherwise top-notch. Overall, I recommend it for listeners who appreciate a mix of scholarship and modern critique, though it may not resonate with those looking for a fully apolitical discussion of religious topics.

By far the best podcast on the subject of the Bible. An academic and respectful approach, without shying away from what may be uncomfortable for believers. Plus, they’re funny in a subtle way.
