Producer’s Pick! For MLK Jr. Day, I asked my husband and producer, Seth, to choose an episode he wanted to re-release and without hesitation, he said, “What about Malcolm’s most recent one?!” Done and done! Here ya go!
That Makes Total Sense! regular, the Rev. Dr. Malcolm Foley, is back on the podcast and I could not be more psyched! His new book, The Anti-Greed Gospel releases next month and I cannot wait for it to hit the shelves. If you’re as intrigued as I was, even by the title and sub-title alone, this conversation is for you. Malcolm and I explore how greed is related to chattel slavery, lynching, exploitation, and our current capitalistic system in America and how Christians can respond to its realities today.
Oh, and an update – Delilah the beagle did eventually get to Thurman’s title, too. Ugh. That crazy dog!
