Heretic Happy Hour is an unapologetically irreverent, crass, and sometimes profound conversation about the intersection of culture and the Christian faith. Hosts Keith Giles and Matthew J. Distefano, alongside a rotating panel of guest hosts that include theologians and therapists, professors and prophets, mystics and misfits, pull no punches and leave no stones unturned. For some serious sacred cow-tipping, there’s nothing better than spending an hour of your time with us.

New shows every Tuesday, with bonus episodes on Fridays and Sundays. Relaunching May 7!

The Best

I listen to many podcasts, and HHH is my hands down favorite. Matt, Katy, Sandjha, Desember and Keith feel like my best friends. Although they are preaching to the choir with me, I learn so much from them, as I am nortwell versed in biblical history. I look forward to every new episode. Thanks guys!
