Send a textWe continue our conversation with comedian Jeremy Alder. He describes how his preaching stints at Mennonite services primed him for standup, and how his divorce led him to find a connection in the stand up comedy community. He discusses the art of "clean comedy" and how his negotiations with the faith of his childhood have provided a source for his work.Bands/ Artists discussed:MC HammerPleasant GroveSilver JewsPurple MountainsDrive By TruckersJason IsbellGhoti HookReferences:Book: Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger - Ronald J. SiderJeremy's Instagram: jeremy.alderGod Gave Rock & Roll To You is a podcast exploring the Christian rock subculture of the late 20th century, hosted by Matt Beaton with co-hosts Doug Dickens and Tony Hormillosa. We are friends who each grew up in a distinct version of this world, and we want to discuss what it was, where it came from, and what it turned into. We’ll be taking many side roads along the way, while listening to some of the best (and worst) music of the era..
