The Christian Humanist Podcast recently turned to John Updike’s poem “Americana” for Episode 332, with MIchial Farmer and David Grubbs talking about the poem, airports, and hotel rooms.

The Christian Humanist Podcast is the work of “Three Christians, teachers, and intellectuals [who] gather digitally to hold forth on literature, theology, philosophy, and other things human beings do well. Taking the question at hand utterly seriously and ourselves not at all, the Christian Humanists attempt to record weekly during the school year and take on some interesting questions.” Nathan Gilmour, who is not a part of this episode, is the third Christian Humanist.
