- 1 hour 14 minutesWhy Pete Holmes Stopped Looking for God
Comedian Pete Holmes (Silly Silly Fun Boy, Crashing) returns to dig deep into Christianity, non-duality, consciousness, and what it means to find God after your faith falls apart. He opens up about divorce, depression, anxiety, sexual shame, and how the comedy community that inspired Crashing carried him through one of the lowest periods of his life. They also explore why “everything belongs,” how awareness can loosen anxiety, what Jesus teaches us about losing, and whether AI has become humanity’s newest golden calf.

18 June 2026, 7:00 am - 45 minutes 3 secondsThe Collapse of Christianity by David Bentley Hart (BONUS!)
Philosopher and theologian David Bentley Hart explains why Christianity must abandon political power, cultural domination and the mythology of “Christian civilization” to rediscover the radical compassion of Christ. He challenges common interpretations of Paul, faith and salvation before exploring Christology, divine manifestation and what it truly means to say that God became human. They also dive into Lewis Carroll’s spiritual absurdity, the childhood genius of Alice in Wonderland and the revolutionary filmmaking of Orson Welles.

14 June 2026, 3:52 pm - 1 hour 4 minutesLet's Go To Hell w/ David Bentley Hart
A deep dive into hell, God, suffering, scripture, and why so many modern ideas about Christianity may be based on bad translation, bad theology, and political power. Philosopher and theologian David Bentley Hart challenges the idea of eternal damnation, explores universal salvation, and reframes God not as an angry ruler in the sky, but as infinite love, consciousness, beauty, and being itself. Why does evil exist? What do we do with innocent suffering? And can faith survive when our image of God has to be torn apart?

11 June 2026, 10:56 am - 51 minutes 31 secondsEarth's Most Misunderstood Countries (w/ Drew Binsky)
Drew Binsky has visited every country in the world, but what did all that travel actually teach him about people, fear, poverty, faith, and the soul? We dig into Haiti, Iran, Afghanistan, China, the countries Americans ignore, and the surprising truth that people everywhere want the same basic things: love, family, safety, dignity, and connection. This is a conversation about misunderstood cultures, global suffering, spiritual universals, and why seeing the world up close may be the best antidote to fear.

23 April 2026, 7:00 am - 1 hour 22 minutesUnpacking "Drugs" (w/ Pete Holmes, Ari Shaffir, Neal Brennan, Dr Joe & More)
Are psychedelics & mind-altering substances like ayahuasca, DMT, psilocybin and ketamine a path to healing and spiritual awakening? Or a dangerous shortcut to enlightenment? Let's look back on how Neal Brennan, Pete Holmes, Reggie Watts, Josh Radnor, Arthur Brooks, and Dr. Joe Dispenza debate the benefits, risks, and meaning behind psychedelic experiences, from ego death to divine connection. We dig deep into consciousness, addiction, spirituality, and whether true transformation can come from a substance or must be earned through deeper inner work.
