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 the history of the evangelical church in America, from fundamentalism to pyramid schemes to political campaigns. Host Chris Staron uses journalistic tools to investigate how the church got here and how it can do better.
The current season follows the rise of the Religious Right, examining the link between evangelicals and the Republican Party. Featuring special guests like Rick Perlstein, Frances Fitzgerald, Jesse Eisinger, Daniel K. Williams, and more.
