May 17, 2021 31 mins

Someone's walking back, towards Christian and Hopeful. Stephen and Harry discuss Atheist, along with seventeenth century flatters, atheist magician Penn Jillette, deconversions, Bunyan's great restraint and the nature of disbelief. No Jordan this week (sad face emoji), but he should be back next tome.

We watched the Northern Irish Pilgrim's Progress movie starring Liam Neeson, in his first feature film, as half of the roles! Look forward to see the Belfast hills, the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, and Castlewellan gardens. And see if you can figure out who the antagonist really is? --- Check out the movie on YouTube: https://youtu.be/xUGVy_ntuKo. --- Thanks for listening!

It's been a year! It's summertime! We're at the halfway point, thematically, allegorically and literally (we think!).

Hide behind the sofa, keep the lights on and certainly don't listen just before going to bed... this is a spooky episode. Christian has left one valley for another - and you might have thought it couldn't get any worse than facing Apollyon, but this one is worse! Hobgoblins, satyrs, dragons and constant howling, not to mention quagmires, ditches and double giants!!! But who's that up ahead? Join Jordan, Stephen and Harry as they na...
