I wanted to post an update on my forthcoming podcast. I’ve been hard at work adapting material I gathered for my book on the shallowness of the American Church and the need to go deeper into podcast episodes. To this point, I’ve recorded 13 episodes, and my guess is that I’ll need about 30 to cover what I want to cover from that material.
My plan has been to build a reservoir of episodes, so that once I start publishing them, I can keep up with a ‘once a week’ schedule. I have some obligations this summer that will slow down my production, but I should be on the other side of all that by early August. So, my plan is to drop the first two episodes on August 10th, which is a Sunday, as these two episodes together serve as an introduction both to me and the podcast itself, and to release one a week each Sunday thereafter, probably taking a small break in late December each year.
Once I’ve worked through all the episodes based on the material I’ve already compiled, I hope to mix in a combination of interviews about the themes and topics I’ve covered with new solo episodes as well. I think there’s a lot of opportunity in this format both to encourage and to model the things I’m advocating for in the podcast, and I’m excited about where it might go.
