Lizard People: Comedy and Conspiracy Theories

Picture this - you're a pastor at an evangelical Christian mega church, and donations are slipping. What are you gonna do? Well if Mark McConville (one of the best comedy podcasters ever to do it) is correct, what you're gonna do is fake a scandal, jet off to 'rehab', then sell a redemption narrative so compelling that Jesus Christ himself would be like 'woah'. Yes Mark suspects that some of these ministers going down for drug and affair scandals are just cynically plotting to raise more money for the church. Listen in this week for a surprisingly heartfelt conversation about the intersection between religion and capitalism, then a bunch of hot new ideas for gender neutral nicknames.

Hark! Be not afraid, because we have a festive holiday ep coming your way! Our beloved Dave Child is back in the Lizard Lair, and he's got some pretty crazy ideas about cherubim, seraphim, and all the rest. Dave suspects that the feathery friends that announced Jesus' birth, and will be blowing the ol' trumpet at the end of days, are in fact interdimensional beings that travel between realms warning us about danger and giving us a heads up about pregnancies. Are they divine? Are they demonic? And might they just possibly be familiar to listeners of previous episodes as some kind of man-animal hybrid? Also, are they trying to sleep with us? All will be revealed in this extra-festive episode.
