This is Molly Hemingway, encouraging you to listen to my favorite podcast,

Issues, etc. Every day you get in-depth interviews with host Todd Wilkin asking expert guests,

substantive thought-provoking questions on all of the important news and issues of our day.

The expert guests are in culture, law, ethics, philosophy, theology, and apologetics.

Expert guests, expansive topics, always extolling Christ, issues, etc.

change of definitions, almost at a whim.
