A Hogshead Worth of Miracles and a Hairy Foot Bath: The Book of John

We’re pondering the book of John today by golly. And the selections our Victorian Feminists chose to critique cover sizzling hot topics like miracles, mothers, prejudice, and hogsheads to cover.This is a tidy zippy episode that will reveal deeper questions about the tales we've been told. Did you know Jesus only speaks to his mother three times in the entire Bible? Or that Mary Magdalene's devoted presence at the tomb contrasts sharply with the male disciples' absence? As Christian nationalism continues to ruin the last bits of anything good in American politics, these 130-year-old feminist perspectives continue to provide crucial context for understanding how religious texts have been wielded to control and limit women's autonomy. Join our virtual sewing circle as we unravel these biblical stories with almost fresh eyes, frayed nerves, and sharp wits. Subscribe, share with friends, and let us know your thoughts – we're creating independent feminist media when it's needed most.Send us Fan MailCreditsRecorded at Troubadour Studios in Lansing, MIAudio Engineer Corey DeRushiaEdited by Rie Daisies at Nighttime Girlfriend StudioMusic: ‘Shifting pt. 2 (instrumental)’  by Rie DaisiesExecutive Producer Kate ML RogersLeave us a voice mailHave some feedback?
