Hearing Angels with Jon Matteson

One of the most unique episodes yet! Jon Matteson (StarKid Productions) comes on the show with a mission: to make sense of a spiritual experience he had as a child. Once he introduces the experience, I spend the rest of the episode helping him chip away at its meaning.

Content warning: Catholicism, Kansas, terrible choirs, beautiful music.
