Summary

Todd’s been summoned to host a popular TV show, but Carl and Aimee guarantee that they can handle this week’s episode without his coaching. The two have learned a few things this past year that they’re willing to share. Carl discusses how pleasantly different 2019 was for him at his new job, the completion of the biggest projects of his adult life thus far, Hugh Hefner’s “contribution” to modern society, and more. Aimee’s research for her upcoming book on discipleship has taught her—among many other things—how to take criticism in a polarized (social media) world. The dynamic duo discusses true confessionalism, slander, online polemics, and navigating through it all. Hear about the books of 2019 that you’ll want to read, or read again. You may even wish to give the corresponding episodes another listen!

0:00.0	Welcome to Mortification of Spin, the casual conversation about things that count with Carl Truman, Todd Pruitt, and Amy Bird.
0:25.4	Mortification of Spin is a weekly podcast from the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.
0:30.5	Let's join this week's conversation. Welcome to Morification of Spin. My name's Carl Truman. I'm a professor at Grove City College in Western Pennsylvania, and I'm here with one of my usual hosts, Amy Bird, the housewife theologian, based in Frederick, Maryland.
0:56.7	And our other usual host, Todd Pruitt, a PCA megachurch pastor from Harrisonburg, Virginia.
1:03.6	Can't be with us today.
1:05.5	It's a little known fact that he's actually the stunt body double for Drew Carey on the price is right.
1:13.5	And he was drafted in this morning to do a couple of risky stunts for Mr. Carey, so he can't
1:18.7	make it this afternoon.
1:20.8	But I'm sure that most of you will realize that the quality simply increases.
1:25.9	We might say that less is definitely going to be somewhat more today.
1:32.3	We'll have a lot more space to fill in without Todd talking.
1:35.3	We will, we will.
1:37.3	I am, I should actually as well note that I am in mourning today.
1:41.3	Neil Innis, one of the great heroes of my youth, the lyricist for Monty
1:45.5	Python, member of the Bonzo Dog, Duda band, died last night. A devastating cultural moment for
1:54.0	British people of my generation. Very, very sad that he's gone, and I'm hoping that we will
1:59.9	go out today, maybe to
2:01.9	the canyons of your mind, one of the great Bonzo tracks from the late 60s.
2:07.7	Sounds like a good tribute, Carl.
2:09.8	He's our most excellent musician.
2:12.0	So, Amy, what are we going to talk about today in the absence of our greatest team member?
