Hello Badass Fans, and Hello to those just finding us. I abandoned my plan to re-publish the top 10 episodes of Badass the day after the national elections in November of 2024.

I don't know about you, but this last election cycle was hard on my heart. I wasn't sure that the world needed to hear tales that held so much pain, even if they also held compassion, courage, and healing.

What feels fitting to me is to post a list, right here, right now, of the top ten episodes of all time (below).

I am going to post just one of those episodes with the hope that it will be shared. This particular episode, the #1 episode, is a direct critique of the oppressive and hypocritical Evangelical Christian culture that is driving so much of the hateful behavior on the right.

The #1 episode has the power to expose this BS, and I want us to use it. So, please share widely.
