Welcome to this week's RNS Audio's podcast roundup! Here's the latest:

Childless Church Ladies – Brat summer gives way to catty fall.

In the highly anticipated return of "Saved By The City," we kick off Season 8 with a candid exploration of the challenges faced by the very threatening single women without children in America. Roxy and Katelyn snark into the societal pressures, cultural expectations, and personal experiences that shape this complex issue. Amidst the summer reminiscing, they parse the stigma surrounding childlessness and singlehood, while also examining how individuals navigate faith communities as unmarried members.

Strong Women Speaking Truth to Power: Kristin Du Mez and Mary J. Novak

This week on "State of Belief," host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush welcomes two remarkable guests, Mary J. Novak and Kristin Du Mez; two incredible women whose work at the intersection of activism and faith is driving critical change in our society. This week, they join host Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush to explore how faith can be used as a tool for tremendous social progress, or for abuse – and how people can work together to help foster inclusive communities and challenge the forces of oppression.

Happy listening!
