When the 2020-2021 academic year began in September, I had hoped to balance dissertation writing with publishing the Religionish podcast. Well….if you follow the podcast you know that balancing act did not succeed. The last episode of Religionish was published on September 30, 2020.
I apologize to everyone for not notifying listeners earlier that my dissertation was taking a priority over the podcast this year. My dissertation will be finished by the end of May and then I’ll return to planning awesome episodes for Religionish. Maybe once I’ve defended in June I can begin to develop some of the ideas for the show I’ve had over the years, but were too time consuming as a PhD student.
In the mean time, don’t forget to share your favorite Religionish episodes with your friends to keep love for the show alive. You can follow the occasional Religionish posts on Twitter (@religionish) and Instagram (@religionish_podcast). There’s also the Religionish newsletter, which I’ll be sending out on occasion over the next few months. You can subscribe here.
I will also work to roll out the three episodes I recorded before I vanished into dissertation writing. These conversations with Kayla Wheeler and Jack Jenkins are great and I’m sorry they weren’t published on time. Additionally, my friend Jeremy and I watched Mrs. America together and recorded our thoughts. These episodes will slowly come out over the next 3-4 months.
Thanks for all of your patience while I push through the last hurdles of getting my PhD. Soon I’ll be Dr. Ashley Campbell!
