Overview

Details

Keeping it 101 is the podcast that helps our nerdy listeners make sense of religion. Why religion? Well, if you read the news, have a body, exist in public, or think about race, gender, class, ability, or sexuality, you likely also think about religion — even if you don’t know it yet. Let us show you why religion is both a lot more important and a little easier to understand than you might think. Put us in your earholes and let us show you why religion isn’t done with you — even if you’re done with religion.

BOOK CLUB: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye

BOOK CLUB: Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye

WHAT A PREDICAMENT this year has been, nerds! 2023 was in many ways, uh, not our fave.

But we thought it would be good to end this chronological rollercoaster on a high note, so:

You are cordially invited to join us for a cozy winter Gothic misandrist queer murder book club moment! We're reading Lyndsay Faye's delightfully dark
Jane Steele, and we think you should, too.

We'll be back at the end of January to chat about the novel. In the meantime, hit us up on social media with comments or questions so we can feature y'all on the pod! Pick up a copy at your local library or independent bookstore, as Levar Burton intended.

And as always, be sure to visit keepingit101.com for full show notes, homework, transcripts, & more.

MEETUP: KI101 Office Hours at AAR!!

It is November, RELI nerds! And too many of you know what that means.

That's right: the
American Academy of Religion's annual national meeting is once again upon us, just in time for price-gouging airfare and pre-Thanksgiving travel mayhem.

But it also means Megan and Ilyse are going to be at AAR together for the first time since 2019!!! And we're celebrating this momentous occasion by convening our first ever Keeping It 101 OFFICE HOURS.

Last season's awesome interns made us awesome stickers and other awesome swag, and all of it is yours for the showing up and asking. Let's all gaze upon one another's weary, beautiful faces and be glad we're still here.

We'll be on the patio of the Marriott San Antonio Rivercenter from 3-4pm CST on Saturday, 18 November

Come through!
