| 0:15.3 | Aaron Moon. Because the Babel binge episodes are mostly looking forward, Favourite or Forsaken |
| 0:19.5 | is an episode devoted to looking to the present and future as we consider current events |
| 0:23.6 | through the religious lens to decide if they are Favourite or Forsaken. Joining me on |
| 0:28.7 | this faith based journey is Jamie Golden and Knox McCoy. Guys, how are we doing? Top |
