This is a throwback episode. The old interview with Damien Jurado had been lost until recently, so I packed in a new intro and preserved the Tall Skinny at the end and here it is for you. Be sure to buy a book and support me and the podcast. Also check out the new stuff Damien has done since this interview, here are the original show notes”

We talk to Damien Jurado this week and that is exciting. Damien is one of my favorite singer/songwriters and we were graced with his time this week. As always check out our blogs (nicholasfiedler.com/blog and iamjoshbrown.com/blog)

Oh and listening on to the podcast, my favorite part is at the end when Josh says, “so you can get the book at rachel held evans. . . or somewhere.” Or somewhere? That’s classic.

Dr. Pacini’s current research focuses on problems in Kantian and post-Kantian philosophy and philosophical theology, especially those of aesthetics and psychology as they evolved in late nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century texts that explore the boundaries of theological thinking.

This podcast, with Sarah Alexander as a guest co-interviewer, focuses on Pacini’s most recent work entitled Through Narcissus’ Glass Darkly: The Modern Religion of Conscience.

I mention the Brian McLaren, Bishop Spong, and Phyllis Tickle Podcast, it’s here
