  Voting your morals 15.08.2026 42min

  Should you vote for a candidate’s policies or for their character? How do we get through another midterm news cycle with our own character intact? In our debut episode, host Niala Boodhoo welcomes public theologian Curtis Chang and Rabbi Jill Jacobs. Using their expertise as religious thought leaders, they help us navigate aligning beliefs with how we vote. And they offer perspective and tools for strengthening democracy outside of high-stakes elections. Chang is the Executive Director of Good Faith, which helps politically ‘homeless’ Christians navigate a deeply divided world. Rabbi Jacobs is the CEO of T’ruah, which empowers rabbis and cantors to lead Jewish communities in advancing democracy and human rights.  Subscribe on Substack  Follow Niala on Instagram: @nialab

  Introducing Oh God Now What 08.08.2026 2min

  If you think ‘oh God, now what?’ every time you open your news app, here’s the secret: journalists feel this way, too. Veteran journalist and host Niala Boodhoo created this show because she’s close to the stories of our time, but also passionate about religious wisdom’s ability to guide us when things are difficult. Each week, through conversations with faith leaders of all kinds, you’ll learn how religious and spiritual traditions can help us live with the news, not just survive it.
