194 - Everywhit (feat. We’re Not So Different) [Whit’s Endless Summer 44]
Added 2025-06-18 06:00:08 +0000 UTCDr. Eleanor Janega and Luke Waters from the We’re Not So Different podcast join the lads on a medievalist romp through the world of morality plays as they cover the story of Everyman and two of its progeny: the works of Jack Chick and a little show called Adventures in Odyssey. Topics include the Dutch origins of Everyman, the horrors of being eternally judged while nude, and the insidious pedantry at the heart of the evangelical movement.

WNSD and American Prestige Present: Welcome to the Crusades: The First Crusade
The hosts of American Prestige and We’re Not So Different join forces to examine one of the seminal events in world history: the Crusades. Season 1 focuses, appropriately enough, on the First Crusade, requested by a Byzantine Empire under threat and called by a Catholic Church eager for a “great cause.” You’ll follow the expedition from its origins in Europe to the walls of Jerusalem as we try to understand why this Crusade, unique among its sequels, ended in success for the Crusaders.

Comments
While I do appreciate the restraint this show has shown in not committing to do entire standalone radio drama episodes, I'm always captived by these interstitials. The production detail on them has gotten so good. And I'm a person who skips audio logs in RPGs if the game lets me.

2025-07-11 20:05:26 +0000 UTCMy favorite parody of the Chick Tract is in the Welcome to Night Vale novel “It Devours!” The Smiling God is unsettling on its own, and so is the midwestern empty rural horror that Night Vale plays with, but add the evangelical cult propaganda and it works beautifully.

2025-07-06 15:42:05 +0000 UTCMy grandma used to evangelize at the local jail every week; she’d buy tracts in bulk and painstakingly remove the staple (possible weapon) and reglue the pages instead. They were THE bathroom literature when we visited. Not only did they introduce me to such scandalous topics as homosexuality and suicide—because my parents sure as shit refused to teach us anything about the world—but they had the opposite effect and now I’m a pagan transgender with a noose kink :/ “No Fear” gave me… weird feelings I didn’t understand for years.
