Church Potluck: A Smorgasbord of Christian Curiosity
A Smorgasbord of Christian Curiosity! Church Potluck serves up thoughtful, friendly, informal conversation at the intersection of Christianity and contemporary culture. Just like a church potluck, we offer variety: a variety of topics, a variety of academic disciplines, and a variety of Christian traditions. Guests are friends and colleagues who are also experts in the fields of sociology, political science, theology, philosophy, divinity, and more.
Church Potluck: A Smorgasbord of Christian Curiosity
Celebration Episode! Three Years, 10,000 Downloads, and a Plate of Gratitude
Three candles, 10,000 downloads, and a table full of friends! This milestone episode of Church Potluck celebrates three years of “a smorgasbord of Christian curiosity.” Host Dale McConkey gathers the Core Four—Christy Snider, Michael Bailey, and Michael Papazian—for cupcakes, playful celebratory jingles, and a listener-powered reflection on what makes the show tick: variety, convivial conversation, thoughtful faith, and a game show that won’t quit. We swap favorite themes (sports & faith, science & wonder, good death, ancient history), share a few nerdy stats (70+ episodes, listeners in 61 countries—Hi, Singapore!), and dream about what’s next: deeper audience interaction, more science spotlights, occasional live potlucks, and welcoming a wider range of voices. If you’ve ever wanted church-basement warmth with classroom curiosity—and a dash of applause button—pull up a chair.
