Beltway Banthas is a bi-weekly Star Wars podcast about the intersection of fandom and politics. For host Stephen Kent, one of those things is politics. Star Wars draws from our worlds politics just as much as it contributes to it by influencing policy makers, journalists and thought leaders. On this podcast the hosts seek to understand how Star Wars impacts the world we live in, while also covering the Star Wars news, gossip and hype of the day.
This is The Crossway Podcast, a show where we sit down with authors each week for thoughtful interviews about the Bible, theology, church history, and the Christian life.
Join host Stephen Force for coverage of aviation and aerospace that includes general aviation, space exploration, military aviation, flight music, and a healthy dose of flying philosophy.
On Framework Leadership, Kent Ingle talks to some of the world’s most successful and innovative leaders about where they came from, how they developed their leadership skills, and how they lead their organizations to success. Listeners look forward to discovering how each guest found their driving passion and stays disciplined in a world full of distraction along with the practical ways they find the courage to act on opportunities.
Join the Wisecrack crew as they dive into the deeper meaning and cultural significance of the most, and least, iconic movies of our age.
