Summary

Subscribe to Crooked's new podcast, Unholier Than Thou: apple.co/unholierthanthou - first two episodes available today. Award-winning journalist and editor Phillip Picardi is on a quest to better understand his relationship with spirituality by learning how faith plays a role in other people’s lives in Crooked Media’s new podcast, Unholier Than Thou. With the help of the spiritual, religious, and agnostic, he’ll guide listeners through the ethereal and worldly problems of the day, informed by his own on-and-off relationship with God. Through lenses both saintly and secular, Picardi will take a look at everything from sex to climate change, and how religion informs those discussions. New episodes every Friday.

0:00.0	Hey, I'm Phil Facardi. You may know me as the editor in Chief of Out Magazine or the
0:07.0	Chief Content Officer of Teen Vogue, or you may not know me at all, and that's fine too.
0:12.2	In my new Crooked Media podcast, I'm going to tackle a topic I've been wrestling with
0:16.5	my whole life. Ever since I was a gay kid and Catholic school with a secret on the inside
0:21.0	and a spice girl's t-shirt on the outside. How does faith fit into our lives today? When
0:25.8	the secular doesn't always feel like enough, and the spiritual doesn't always feel like
0:29.4	a home. I felt this tension more than ever recently, and maybe you have too. The desire
0:34.6	to find meaning and hope during a time of incredible pain and isolation in our society. We are
0:39.6	watching in real time, as religion leads some to march in the streets, while others justify
0:44.2	attacking protesters so they can make room for a photo op in front of a church. With the
0:48.5	help of everyone from feminist astrologers to AIDS activists, gay friendly Catholic priests
0:52.7	to doctors finding miracles in the emergency room, I'll be exploring the world of spirituality
0:56.9	like you've never seen it before. So come join me as I try to get answers from up above,
1:01.7	to whatever the hell is happening down here on earth. New episodes drop every Friday.
1:06.0	Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Play, or wherever you like to listen to your
1:10.3	podcasts.
