Summary
The pandemic was miserable for mothers, right? New research disputes that claim and shows moms were actually happier than childless women. But not ALL moms. What makes the difference? A survey shows both conservative and progressive Americans believe the absolute worst about each other. Is there any hope for healing the divide? What makes human leg muscles different from other primate species? Phil gets to the bottom of it. And Skye interviews Walter Kim, the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, about what's broken in the evangelical movement in America and how to repair it. Plus, drunk Santas crash a tank and hormonal Rwandan elephants.

| 0:00.0 | Happy New Year, Holy Posters! This is Sky, and before we get into the show, I have an important announcement. |
| 0:05.6 | Later this month, we're going to experiment with a different format. |
| 0:09.1 | Instead of one Holypost episode per week, we're going to release two episodes each week by splitting the new segment and the guest interview into two shows. |
| 0:18.3 | So instead of one long 90-minute show, you'll be getting two more excessively-sized Holypost episodes every week. |
| 0:25.2 | Like I said, this is just an experiment that will begin later in January, |
| 0:29.0 | and we welcome your feedback. Do you love it? Do you hate it? |
| 0:32.1 | And it's just the beginning of all kinds of new things we'll be trying in 2023. |
| 0:36.6 | So stay tuned. It's going to be an exciting year for the entire Holypost community. |
