Fantastic podcast with sharp editing and amazingly detailed research. I constantly find myself discovering new intersecting ideas that blow my mind (and lead to endless rabbit trails of my own). This is a truly amazing podcast.

Well researched. No agenda. Presenting the history of the Christian movement. Could use a co-host to add more commentary.

A left leaning podcast. Boldly anti Trump host. Masquerading as a Christian Podcast. I couldn't make it through episode 2.

Description

Truce explores how we got here and how we can do better. It's a history podcast about the Christian Church, from pyramid schemes to political campaigns. Season six explores the link between some evangelicals and the Republican Party, featuring special guests like Rick Perlstein, Frances Fitzgerald, Jesse Eisinger, and more. Season five tells the backstory of Christian fundamentalism. Season three follows the rise of communism and socialism in Russia and how it changed the American Christian Church. Truce is hosted by Chris Staron, writer/ director of the films "Bringing up Bobby" and "Between the Walls", and author of "Cradle Robber".
