Talk to us about the Behind the Scene podcast.

Alli Hoff KosikGUEST
And it's a six-part miniseries that I decided to put together, really exploring the question that I brought up earlier, which is like, how did I come to the subject material? Again, I've spent a lot of time thinking about, like, how I wanna talk about these questions when I'm at events and on podcasts, because there are going to be people in every audience who have their own personal experiences with religion, and they might still be involved and plugged into religious communities.

Alli Hoff KosikGUEST
And so even though I spent a lot of time researching for this book, I still want to own the fact that I come to it largely as an outsider.

Alli Hoff KosikGUEST
It unpacks kind of my, like, really young life observing people missing school for their first Holy Communions, attending over-the-top bar mitzvah parties, always kind of being on the outside of it as somebody who is from a mixed faith family and whose parents were divorced, and so I was never really involved in either of those religious traditions.
