The Challenge of Imagining Heavenly Places
Episode 141
The Good Place just ended after four critically acclaimed seasons, and it was one of several recent TV shows to imagine the afterlife as being far from paradise. Pastor and podcaster JR Forasteros and author Greg Garrett explore why pop culture heavens are being depicted as bureaucracies where the angels are overwhelmed or lost sight of their mission. And Todd May describes what it was like being a philosophy consultant on The Good Place.TranscriptMUSIC LISTAfter Party at Cloud Castle by Sono SanctusAfter the Fire by Sono SanctusAquarium by Sono Sanctus
