Where are the other episodes?
I have enjoyed the earlier seasons and have been looking forward to this new season. Why do you keep teasing us? Please tell me you are not done!

I love this show.
It is refreshing. I know a topic is going to be GREAT when it begins with a “sigh” from one or both of the hosts. They speak my language and I think they will speak to you too. Keep it up! Wondering will this podcast continue with new episodes?

Progressive Christian women+politics
As a “de-vangelical,” this podcast is the only vaguely religious one I can bear listening to. The hosts know what it’s like to be a woman from a church background and to grapple with the exasperation of today’s politics from that framework. There are interesting interviews, too. If you feel like Rachel Held Evans’ death left a void in the world, you will probably relate to this podcast.

Great source of information and commentary
I listen to a lot of political podcasts who are dopes when it comes to understanding religious beliefs, communities, and context or who just skip over important news that’s related to religion. This is such a refreshing chayotes pace! It isn’t aggressively Christian, I’m an atheist and I find nothing objectionable (but used to be Catholic and then Presbyterian) but is rather well informed.

My favorite podcast!
Two Christian women who are unafraid to tackle any topic. I love that they speak their minds - no B.S. and no subtlety- which is refreshing. I’ve learned a lot listening to them, most of which challenges my last twenty years of evangelical teaching. I’m up for the challenge and I love the boldness of these women. This is the podcast I am most likely to recommend to people who are troubled by what is happening at the crossroads of religion and politics. Thank you, Nish and Amy!!!

Fantastic podcast
A really interesting podcast. As someone who was turned away from the conservative movement because of the religious extremism I witnessed (spent some years working on Republican campaigns) I find myself agreeing with these women more times than not. Highly recommended!
this is a good podcast
Feels like a chat with friends!
Easy to listen to and helpful for processing big topics. It feels like I’m having coffee with friends who are willing to go deep into sometimes uncomfortable topics.

An incredible voice for the Church.
This is a cathartic and brilliant podcast that reflects the truth of the moment we are living in (March 21st, 2018) that equips its users to understand the context of the religious world today.

Thank you!
A big thank you from this ordained female mainline minister - I'm so glad to hear intelligent conversation and critique from the perspective of left-leaning Christian women!

Honestly exactly what I’ve been looking for
I’ve never heard another podcast that so clearly responds to the thoughts and questions in my head! The hosts do an excellent job at discussing such important and complicated topics. Also, go blue :)

Excellent Podcast (with a bias)
Impolite Company is one of the few podcasts I subscribe to and it's a great podcast. Nish and Amy work together well. Nish is high octane from the word go, while Amy is more subdued (think Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon on SNL). Amy's journalism background comes through regularly and she's more likely to verbalize things that Nish sometimes either assumes people know or just doesn't think to say when she gets fired up. The difference in personalities blends well, so there's not too much of one or the other, in my opinion. Both women are extremely knowledgable on religion, primarily from an Evangelical perspective, but also in general and speak with authority, intelligence, and experience on the subjects they cover. There is a bias to the show in terms of political and religious perspective, but Nish and Amy are up front about it. It's clear when they're providing factual information on a subject and when they're giving their opinion. There not trying to trick anyone into pretending they don't have a particular perspective. Ultimately, if you don't already agree with Nish and Amy, you might not like the podcast. If you do, they're a great listen that will provide a lot of knowledge and depth to your understanding and ability to defend your perspective.

I wanted to love it
I listen to this because its coverage of oft-ignores religion stories is second to none, and if Amy Sullivan hosted it alone, I’d give it five stars. But listening to Nish is like listening to your recently “woke” sorority sister rant about things you noticed ten years ago. She’d be fine for 30 seconds, intolerable for an hour. If I could mute her, I would.

Great change of pace
If you’re tired of the same old pundits, then this is for you. Two friends talking about politics and religion with a side dish of pop culture. Funny. Insightful. Serious. Views that you won’t see elsewhere and very believer friendly. It’ll start as s humorous diversion and become essential for your sanity.

This podcast give me hope for the future of the church
Intelligent, articulate, authentic, funny and passionate, Amy and Nish are a joy to listen to and learn from, for all Christians who care about how to follow Jesus in the current political environment.

Listen to this podcast!
This podcast is exactly what I need to keep up-to-date on the news while still getting a good dose of common sense and a Christian perspective that doesn’t make me want to throw the baby out with the bath water of Evangelicalism. Thank you!

Impolite, but definitely worth the time
Weiseth and Sullivan thoughtfully--and often amusingly--engage contemporary issues of religion and public life in the United States. Bravo!

My new favorite!!!
I am so glad I came across this podcast. I find myself constantly nodding in agreement with practically every topic that’s discussed.

Great resource
Great resource on current events/topics at the intersection of religion and politics. Appreciate the nuanced perspectives of two women with a lot of great experiences in the arenas of faith and politics.

I can't get enough of this!
These ladies are speaking their God given truth. They shine a light on topics that truly need to be talked about on a real level. I haven't said "Yes Girl!" in agreement more times while listening to a podcast before. Nish and Amy are so great!

Been looking for a podcast like this!
I have been waiting and looking for a podast that discusses the intersection of religion and politics in our culture and country today, especially one hosted by women. This is a really great listen. The hosts are smart, well-informed, and articulate on topics that are important and relative right now. Great show!

my people!
From Nish's first rant in episode one, I knew I had found my people. Keep up the good work!

Exactly what I needed!
As a fellow unicorn, this show is exactly what I needed for these times. Amy & Nish are smart, funny, and honest! Highly recommend!!

Finally!!!
Such a good listen. It really voiced my frustration with the church just voting for everything that contradicts THE BIBLE. Thank you for this podcast.

I plan to keep listening
My head was nodding in agreement an awful lot during this first episode. As a fellow Utahan, I already follow Nish on social media and am glad to hear her voice on a podcast. Glad to have an opportunity to hear Amy and Nish's take on politics, religion and current headlines.
