Picardi lets his interviewees rip. I like that he lets them elaborate on their beliefs.

The concept itself is hackneyed. It’s been done a million times before and there is nothing original about this iteration. It’s like listening to a book report from a lazy kid who read the Cliff’s Notes. The podcast could have been somewhat palatable if the host had even an ounce of charisma, but...Read full review »

What a show and how insightful when it comes to accepting each person’s journey and discovery of a spiritual part of each one of us. The last 15 mins. of this episode are a “must listen”. I am a 72 years old Mom of 3, one who is 9 years in recovery and one who is transgender and struggles...Read full review »

Many thanks for consistent edifying content. I can lose the guilt and focus on the beauty of what I have instead of feeling like I never deserve anything positive in the eyes of God or Creator. Like a balm.

This podcast leaves me feeling inspired and hopeful. Even though I don’t know what faith means to me personally just yet, hearing diverse perspectives and experiences brings me joy.

The show has a fun conversational tone but is coming from a very limited decidedly leftist perspective versus seeking to understand the richness and complexity of church history and theology.

I can't tell you how excited I am that this new season of Unholier than Thou is almost here! Phillip is both irreverent and vulnerable and open to serious questions about faith in our great big complicated modern world.Read full review »

The guests and subjects, particularly around the topics of holidays and history, are engaging and enlightening. This podcast offers a sincere look into questions many people raised in a traditional faith seem to be asking nowadays. Thank you Philip!!

I truly enjoy this podcast. Phillip is a great story teller and interviewer. He really makes me think about organized religion.
melly 59 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/01/21
Thought provoking and real. Phillip seems to find topics to share that I’ve always grappled with. He presents topics and conversations with experts in a positive and intelligent way. Thank you Phillip for a wonderful podcast!

I love this show! Can’t wait for the next season.
ginnyfromtheblock via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/21
Philip’s podcasts are very informative with a good range of topics which have actually made me do further research on some of them. I have enjoyed listening to all of the topics discussed which have enlightened me, also his guests are very good and knowledgeable. Definitely a podcast to listen...Read full review »

Love all the crooked media podcast so tried this one out and have learned so much! Highly recommend
brinnholtz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/01/21
I am and was raised atheist, so when I first heard about this podcast I wasn’t really interested in what I expected to be Religion 101-esque. After more time and more ads, I decided to give it a shot, and I have now listened to every episode. This podcast has restored my faith in religion, and...Read full review »

This show, introduced to me by my daughter, is a wonderful and imaginative journey into Phillip Picardi’s pursuit of spirituality. My mind and heart have been stretched and flexed in a most unexpected way. Please bring us more!
nancperk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/28/20
New ideas and thoughtful considerations of history and religion. Picardi does a great job bringing you into the discussion, at least for this lapsed church goer.
TheAlbinoKidd via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/27/20
The podcast is good, but it’s not a deep dive on religion and politics at all. It’s more of the recent headlines. He still gets pretty good people to interview, but if you are looking for a more historical perspective of how we got here, this isn’t the place. Also, and this should be obvious,...Read full review »

This podcast came to me at a great time. What with all the darkness this year has paraded out, we’ve really seen who the “real” Christians are and how they behave when the deck is stacked against them. He would love first. I love this podcast and how he always helps paint faith in a different...Read full review »
brilud94 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/25/20
I LOVE this podcast!! It is exactly what we need right now, uplifting, yet real and not afraid to confront truths and current events. Thank you so much!!
wiese_short via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/20/20
It’s great to hear from a lot of perspectives, but stay close to the skip button. The most recent episode had an as break that lasted nearly 7 minutes.
deskjet08 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/19/20
Thought-provoking, inspiring, infuriating, and hilarious. The most recent episode with Brittany Packnett Cunningham genuinely got me thinking about approaching Christianity in a different way. Can’t wait for season 2!

She’s so smart and grounded. I could listen to her all day!
TMT-DC via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/20
As a Jewish Unitarian (Juunitarian), I have learned so much from this podcast. Philip does such a great job of asking honest, probing questions and brings a very diverse set of guests ad topics. I love listening to it, and never thought I’d be interested in a podcast on religion. Now I recommend...Read full review »
OldKidvsGlobalWarming via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/18/20
This has shown me a lot of perspectives and voices I had never heard, all while being funny, inspiring, and warm.
etesh12 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/22/20
As a pastor’s daughter raised with a lot of dogma and little clear truth, Phill has such wonderful guests that make it clear I’m not alone in searching for the real Jesus and his teachings. I particularly loved Kaitlin Curtice and Kristin Kobe’s du Mez. If you are trying to resolve a cloistered...Read full review »

The minute I heard him quote a song from the underrated MC album I was sold forever Also, as a “progressive” Catholic who is often told by crazy Christians that I’m not actually Catholic bc GOD FORBID you respect others religions and choices, this podcast is my love language.
NeverEVERRRRwritesreviews via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/20
Excellent topics, interesting guests, I super love this podcast.
DdorfBachstr via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/06/20
This show is well done which is why it gets two stars instead of one, but it really cherry picks its theology. As some one who takes religious studies very seriously, I believe the guests are selected to conform with the host’s point of view. The people who come to speak about Christianity are...Read full review »

My therapist recently sent me this because I had always felt guilty for being who I am and she said it might help to hear from someone else’s point of view and this podcast was much more supportive than I thought it was going to be, not to mention the added political content was very eye opening...Read full review »

This show is perfect high low for me. High concept ideas with a fun real philosophical question. We love it. 500 stars.

This is the most thoughtful, caring podcast I’ve ever listened to. I look forward to these lovely conversations every week.
B33bear via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/16/20
I look forward to this podcast every week. It is so thoughtful, humorous, and reminds me that there is always good in the world. Thank you for your work!

Thank you for this podcast regarding hatred towards Trump. It is nice to know that forgiveness takes a while, but I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to forgive. My niece and her husband are going through hell with this virus. Today is day 20 and I just pray that they make it. But your podcast has...Read full review »
Yohgurt0203 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/05/20
I think it’s so interesting how the different faiths speak about God and faith and it’s presence in our lives while we live. The Jewish chaplain’s response to the question “if there is a God, what are they doing”? Was that the response to Covid is on humanity. And it’s true. In Judaism, we are...Read full review »

The abortion episodes were phenomenal. Absolutely love this show and Phillip is a perfect host
LenaJones77 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/12/20
Philip, Thank you SO much for all of these fascinating discussions, but particularly for today’s episode on Hinduism, abortion, and feminism!! We Hindus tend not to talk about religion even within our own community, let alone hear it being talked about in public. The discussion on feminism...Read full review »

owen severne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/11/20
Hearing the host’s journey through faith is inspiring to me. Sometimes I feel alone in my own journey of walking away from the faith tradition of my family and seeking a faith home of my own. I walked away because I could no longer in conscience support the anti-lgbt, anti-woman views baked into...Read full review »
callib97 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/08/20
I’m not a relgious conservative or anything but the liberal world is awash with semiserious psudosprituality that, upon being probed, holds pleasure as the only true value. This podcast strongly reinforces this perspective, which will only reinforce your suffering in the future.
thankyou7295 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/02/20
Great host with some excellent guests. While some topics may not be my taste at first (astrology makes me eye roll for days, for example), even these topics give interesting angles of discussion and informative content. Other topics I found even more fascinating like the heights of AIDS activism,...Read full review »

I just started listening and I’m intrigued. First off, your voice is so soothing. Second, the content is amazing.
Katelyn Bruno via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/20
As a child, I was raised in a “catholic” family. Quickly as an adult I determined that I did not respect the church or want to be apart of that. I have been calling myself not religious for years. Phillip’s podcast, Unholier than Thou, is helping me find my spirituality again. I listen every...Read full review »

any left leaning podast has the same borring politcal banter , I hate trump , I hate trump, I hate trump we get it you hate trump . It would be nice to see a centered politcal view for once of couse thats asking too much now days
sitka2112 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/18/20
Faith isn’t necessarily something I struggle with, but this podcast is really interesting. It offers a lot of different perspectives and stories, and I really appreciate the way Phillip Picardi engages with his guests. It encourages you to listen, not just to this podcast but to other people.

This is exactly what I needed and am currently exploring - thank you 💜
MichelleRoxanne via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/17/20
I thoroughly enjoy this podcast. Have been missing/wanting something like it! Phil is smart as a whip and makes me laugh. My only complaint is that episodes are so short and only once a week. I want more!!!
Johanna R.F. via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/13/20
By my third episode, I was experiencing a non-critical and deferring exploration of an astrologist's take on 2020. Pro tip: If an astrologist says something, don't react with, "Wow, I didn't know that!"Read full review »

Phil is so thoughtful and this show is very different from the other Crooked Media podcasts
Nlsheijenrbenenenen via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/12/20
Why
Psuedoscience from a team that I used to think was more fact driven. I’m questioning if Crooked really thinks for themselves or if I’ve been fooled this whole time.
