Wrath of Pod
Hosted by Marcus & Deanna · EN
Two snarky podcasters imagine that the bible is actually a bizarrely plotted streaming TV show, and they give it the scathing after-show treatment it deserves. Each week, these irreverent Scripture script doctors drop their comedic hot takes on the weird storylines and wild production choices of this “newly released” streaming series. If you also don’t take the bible too seriously, join Marcus and Deanna to find out what happens when you combine a narcissistic main character with a team of overworked writers, excessive CGI, and a costume department that really loves the color brown. Pod be with you!

Resting “Capture Me A City” Face (S6 E4)
2w ago00:41:23Tap to summarizeWe open this week with a digitally aged Joshua handing out bits of Canaan to the tribes by lot (but not by Lot). Caleb returns to claim a special inheritance, which he conquers by yelling, using his walking stick, and marrying off his daughter. Joshua then settles down for a well-earned retirement, only to be immediately interrupted by God and asked to do some more work.

War Crimes Aplenty (S6 E3)
3w ago00:41:35Tap to summarizeIt’s wall-to-wall battle sequences in this week’s episode, as the Israelites absolutely kick the asses of all of the nations in Canaan, with a very smug-looking Joshua leading their marching chants. The one exception to the slaughter are the Gibeonites, who put on some Groucho Marx glasses and broken sandals to get the Israelites to enslave them rather than kill them. Joshua sweet-talks God into helping him even out his tan and then commits a series of war crimes against both people and horses. But has anyone seen that angel?

Secret Shout Powers (S6 E2)
4w ago00:38:42Tap to summarizeJoshua starts his campaign of conquering Canaan by making sure his priests get their steps in, as they walk around the city of Jericho for six days. On the seventh day, the Israelites unleash a surprising aural attack and completely destroy the city. One soldier succumbs to temptation and takes some fashionable but idolatrous contraband, leading God to sabotage the Israelites’ next battle. But all is well after the culprit is found, stoned to death, and then burned, along with his entire family. Joshua and the Israelites then run a cool sneak attack on the city of Ai, showing off the skills they learned at soccer camp.

Handshake First, Then Circumcise (S6 E1)
Jul 600:37:50Tap to summarizeThe Joshua spinoff series kicks off in a big way! Joshua sends out two spies to get to know the lay of the land, and they interpret his instructions to mean that they should get laid on the land. Then the rest of the Israelites finally follow their Levite tour guides into Canaan by crossing the Jordan River, which looks suspiciously like the Red Sea. But before actually attacking any of the Canaanite cities, they have to stop to help Joshua create a finicky rock sculpture and have all of their foreskins removed.

Reverse Fresh Prince (S5 E10)
May 1100:38:05Tap to summarizeThis season and series finale features the most long-awaited death scene ever! But first, Moses just has to give one final speech. He individually blesses all 12 tribes of Israel – well, almost all 12 – with heavy sandals, baby lions, toxic masculinity, and an encouragement to fight dirty. Moses then ascends to yet another badly named mountain and is just starting to enjoy the vista when God finally punches his ticket and buries him in an unmarked grave.

Send the Serpent Wine Back (S5 E9)
May 400:43:17Tap to summarizeDust off your cowboy hats, warm up your accordion, and get ready to swing – it’s a musical episode! Moses opens his final song with a catchy banjo tune, then yields the stage to an operatic performance from Joshua. We also hear from a crowd favorite timbral band, Zipporah and her two sons, and a very special musical guest star! Not to be outdone, God himself takes the stage with an 80s-inspired banger before reminding Moses that now it’s really, really time for him to go die on Mount Nebo.

Boss Who’s Trying to Be Cool Energy (S5 E8)
Apr 2700:34:02Tap to summarizeMoses tells the assembled crowd that their relationship with God is totally exclusive, whether they like it or not – and it’s going to involve open-heart surgery, whether they like it or not! He then announces that it’s his birthday, and because he can’t “go out and come in” like he used to (ahem), he’s officially going to pass the torch to Joshua. At the inauguration ceremony, God springs one last surprise on Moses: He has to write a catchy banjo tune to finally help the Israelites remember that God will smite all of their sorry asses if they worship other gods.

Zebulon from the Planet Zebular (S5 E7)
Apr 2000:31:29Tap to summarizeGod continues quizzing Moses, starting with a set of laws that combine food taxes with storytelling. But when a crowd gathers outside and demands a few last words of wisdom from their favorite prophet, Moses obliges with gusto. He first encourages them to cover a set of public monuments with graffiti, then lists out a horrifying set of consequences that will ensue if they don’t follow all of God’s laws. But if the Israelites do manage to get it right, not only will they avoid mildew, leg boils, and cannibalism, they’ll also get some truly divine baskets!

Boy Meets Girl, Girl Shaves Head (S5 E6)
Apr 1300:45:19Tap to summarizeGod himself drops by Moses’s house to give him a pop quiz about some laws, a surprising number of which involve stoning children, destroying other nations, and keeping oxen and donkeys away from each other. God also reminisces about this crazy house party he had one time, which apparently involved adulterous people falling off the roof and women having their hands cut off for grabbing his junk. At least we finally find out what circumcision is for!
