Show notes
Hosts Ivy, Taylor, and Guest Rev. K discuss Fleabag season two with a focus on grief, desire, and faith. They explore the show’s key moments—the fox, the Hot Priest, family dynamics, and the statue—through Episcopal and theological perspectives, tying character arcs to themes of forgiveness, love, and the ways grief transforms us.
The episode blends pop-culture analysis with personal stories, reflections on confession and liturgy, and how art can help us unmask and become more fully ourselves.
