Keeping It 101: A Killjoy's Introduction to Religion Podcast
Profs. Ilyse Morgenstein Fuerst and Megan Goodwin
Keeping it 101 is the podcast that helps our nerdy listeners make sense of religion. Why religion? Well, if you read the news, have a body, exist in public, or think about race, gender, class, ability, or sexuality, you likely also think about religion — even if you don’t know it yet. Let us show you why religion is both a lot more important and a little easier to understand than you might think. Put us in your earholes and let us show you why religion isn’t done with you — even if you’re done with religion.

Happy Gregorian new year, nerds. We recorded this episode before the death of Mahsa Amini in the custody of Iran's so-called modesty police. There are, of course, more resources in the shownotes, but we want to especially encourage you to check out the work of journalist Hoda Katebi, the Collective for Black Iranians, and the five-part series on modern Iranian history Profs. Eskandar Sadeghi-Boroujerdi and Golnar Nikpour did for the Dig Podcast.
If you are not yourself Iranian, we also encourage you to NOT make this uprising about your shit. Please don't cut your split ends on social media and call it solidarity, especially if you're not calling on your own country to end its targeting and oppression of Muslims. Iranian activists are leading. It is our duty to listen and learn from them, support them in whatever way they are asking us to support them, and otherwise get the fuck out of their way.

SO GLAD YOU ASKED about the Easter Bunny
Keeping It 101: A Killjoy's Introduction to Religion Podcast
03/22/23 • 20 min
Strictly speaking, none of you asked about the Easter Bunny. A lot of you did, however, ask how Pagan rituals got appropriated into Christian mainstream holidays and, in turn, became global secular phenomenon. We unpack all of that (and Ilyse loses her composure epically) in this very special episode.
