The First Orthodox Person I Ever Met

This one is both political - in we’re talking Massie - and the church sense, as we switch to Orthodox drama. We’re not really diving into religion on this though, just outlining a major scandal that took place last week and the reaction/fallout from it on twitter. We recorded this before Massie lost, but he kept things as classless as we expected last night. The second part of the podcast, we dip into a scandal that is mostly online, but starting to work its way into Orthodox (and many Catholic) churches - the tradbros - and specifically, a major scandal that erupted on twitter last week with the digital stoning of a woman who wrote an article about how young people in the church, mostly converts, are having problems finding spouses and dating - and quickly devolved to an incredibly dark scandal.For a rundown on the controversy that ran through Twitter orthodoxy, I recommend these posts (this is not an endorsement of any of the authors, just good accounts of what exactly happened):If you’re curious about the article that kicked it all off, you can find it here: This is a public episode.
