    Ivy Insights

    The Live from AC2nd podcast is hosted by four professors at an Evangelical Christian college, and as an atheist, this is not typically the type of show I would be inclined to listen to. However, I have found myself very impressed with the content and perspective offered on this podcast. Full disclosure, I went to grad school with one of the hosts, Chris Moore, but that does not change my evaluation of the show.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is the level of knowledge and informed discussion that the hosts bring to each episode. As professors, they are well-versed in their respective fields and approach topics from an educational standpoint. They are dedicated to being balanced and avoiding over-claims or cheap shots. This commitment to providing thoughtful analysis sets them apart from other podcasts about politics.

    Another aspect that I particularly appreciate about this show is its ability to shed light on the diversity of opinion within Evangelical Christianity. Often these individuals are painted with a broad brush and assumed to have a uniform perspective, but through listening to this podcast, I have learned that is not the case. The hosts discuss topics such as #BlackLivesMatter and showcase how their campus engages with important social issues. This has been eye-opening for me and has challenged some of my preconceived notions.

    While there may be some potential drawbacks to this podcast due to its affiliation with an Evangelical Christian college, I have not personally encountered any negative aspects. However, it may be possible that some listeners who hold different beliefs or political persuasions could find certain episodes or discussions challenging or conflicting with their views. Though it is important to note that the hosts maintain a respectful and educational tone throughout their conversations.

    In conclusion, regardless of your political persuasion or religious beliefs, I highly recommend The Live from AC2nd podcast. The hosts bring an interesting intellectual perspective and advance an educational mission through their discussions on various topics related to the presidential race. Their dedication to providing informed analysis and balanced discussions sets them apart from other podcasts in the political genre. I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode and look forward to listening to subsequent ones. Thank you, Chris Moore and your fellow professors at Bethel, for creating this insightful and engaging podcast.
