The Satanic Panic: the collective fear of Satanism sweeping North America in the 1980s. What really happened? Does playing D&D actually invoke Satan? How many times can the gang say the word “debunked”? MK tells us about his favorite ex-Satanist comedian/minister growing up, Ian breaks down the cultural timeline of events, and Kathy shares her skepticism about coordinating blood letting rituals when she can’t even schedule her friends for a get-together.
Content warning: mentions of suicide and mass shootings, and discussions about accusations of rape and child abuse (later debunked!)

Jesus That's Weird is a podcast about our relationship with religion and just how frickin' weird it is sometimes. Former evangelical Christian MK explains his upbringing for his heathen husband Ian and their religiously disinclined friend Kathy, in the spirit of learning, laughs, and releasing trauma with a great deal of obscenity. Amen.
