Thoughtful Discussion of Religion and Other Systems of Power at Work in America

The host won’t receive much pushback on his points, but he’s articulate and well researched.

It all makes sense

Truly one of the best podcasts linking our current moment to threads which have always existed in the strange world of American evangelicalism.

Great Podcast for Honest Listeners

I started listening to this podcast out of curiousity. I am not religious but I can't help but wonder why White Evangelicals support Trump. Thank you guys for breaking it down for me. I really appreciate this and I feel like I'm learning more. Best Podcast I’ve heard in a while.

Timely podcast definitely worth a listen

Honestly my favorite podcast. This podcast does an incredibly good job delving into the intersection between American Christianity and white nationalism. Built off of both academia and personal experience, the hosts paint a very raw, honest, and nuanced portrait of the religious right that points out very real problems without sounding overt alarmist. Helps me make a lot of sense of the fundamentalist upbringing/schooling I had and the family members who seemingly fell off the deep end by voting trump. I have recommended it to many people and will continue to do so.

Maybe my favorite podcast

Thoughtful, well researched, and compassionate. It is hard to find a better and more interesting analysis of the role of religion in modern American life than this

Rational and relatable

I learned a lot listening to the Orange Wave, and I continue to learn from the hosts’ commentary on current events and from their many distinguished guests.

Your Podcast changed my life.

For the better. Literally. I stumbled upon your series, The Orange Wave, in time of my life when I was questioning everything I was told was true but wasn’t. I am so grateful for you and this podcast. The length you go to get it right, to be completely factual and accurate, and to speak your heart and passion. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. Never stop. It matters.

Life changing!!!

I’m so incredibly thankful for straight white American Jesus!! I’ve already been on the journey for the last 10 years or so trying to understand the history of Christianity as well as conservative evangelicals... which is how I was raised... all of the information and resources they give and all of the historical evidence has been so incredibly helpful on my journey!! I so appreciate the they’re both professors and they have a very evidence-based and backed way of approaching our history especially in the recent history of the far right movement. I have been meaning to review them for months, but I can’t even put everything in to a review that could express how thankful I am for this podcast!! I feel like all white evangelicals need to listen to especially the orange wave series!! It really changed my life. It was like I got to the end of the Truman show and there was the door I felt so much hope but also it was shocking and Scary...

Heavenly!

I don’t know how I didn’t come by your podcast before I did, and what a surprise when I did. Keep up the good fight and keep saying it like it is. People need to hear it the way it is, and you guys are great at saying it like it is!

Perceptive,unique, and empathetic

I found this podcast quite awhile ago and it has a very unique vantage point into the intersection of—the evangelical movement, Christian nationalism, white supremacy, racism, and the rich, white men with an anti-democratic agenda who just want money and power but since that doesn’t result in votes, use racism and hot button issues to distract and anger the other groups listed to vote against both their self-interest and the basic tenets of Christianity. Perfect for people thinking of leaving the evangelical church, those who have left and those, like me, that never were in it but appreciate the former insider look into the belly of the beast (it ain’t pretty). Don’t be fooled by reviews posted by trolls scared of the truth about the evangelical house of cards. Great podcast.

If you’re interested in American evangelicalism, this podcast is a must-listen!

Brad and Daniel never fail to provide engaging, thoughtful analysis of the rotten state of American evangelicalism. Discovering that a new episode has been released is a highlight of my day. Two or three times a week my commute becomes a college lecture. Topics that I’ve learned more about include the intersection of evangelicalism with white nationalism, LGBTQ+ discrimination, and American history. I so appreciate the work Brad and Daniel are doing and I look forward to many more years of this podcast.

I love this podcast!!

Good show on Christian Nationalism

This is a thoughtful podcast tracing Christian Nationalism. I’m a professing Christian and find their historical view interesting and their critique generally astute. It’s got a very politically left bent. Incidentally, I share some of the experience of Prof. Bradley Onishi, being of mixed race myself and descended in part from Orange County white conservative Christians. Appreciate hearing from these guys even if I don’t agree with all they say (of course). Good show.

Excellent Podcast

These are the religious study professor voices that I wish I had in college! Thank you for this incredible, challenging, academic podcast, Brad and Dan. Your voices have been a lifeline to me and others that I know this past year. As a Covid-ICU nurse and now a public health nurse, I have been completely ostracized by the evangelical church and many in my family. It has led me to a fill embrace of my deconstruction, and you both continue give me hope and are a reasonable voice in the chaos of wading through evangelical/Christian nationalist “American” religion. Please keep up the good work. Your voices are being listened to!

Gives me insight into conservative thinking and behavior

This podcast has truly helped me understand politics in the Trump era into the present. I have learned so much from the inside perspectives of Brad Onishi and Dan Miller, but the one topic that really clicked was the Lost Cause of the Confederacy and how the same method is being applied to the 2020 election. The podcast guests are experts on relevant topics, and they provide insight complementary to that of Brad and Dan. It sounds dry but it isn’t! I’m always excited to see a new episode in my podcast queue.
