This week, we’ve got not one, but two special guests on the mics with us! Daniel Silver and Father David Subu join us to introduce us to Doxacon Prime 2018! Doxacon is a convention about Christian genre fiction and fandom, and it’s happening November 2-3, 2018, in Washington, DC. (For more information, check out the Doxacon Prime Facebook group, and follow @DoxaconPrime and @Doxacast on Twitter.) You can also hear some recordings from Doxacon and other interviews over at Ancient Faith Radio.
Daniel and Father David have a lot more to talk about than just their awesome convention, though. First, we all chime in to respond to Patreon backer Nathanael Farley, who asks “What is your favorite (possibly indie) RPG that you think needs more love in the wider world?” (Our picks: Swords Without Master, The Trouble With Rose, Anima Prime, Dialect, and … 1st Ed. D&D. Seriously.) Then, after our Scripture readings (including our first Deuterocanonical reading from Wisdom of Sirach) our guests talk about the need for Doxacon, and how in many ways modern Christian genre fiction and fandoms are still affected by the “Satanic Panic” of the late 20th century.
Scripture: Deuteronomy 31:19-22; Proverbs 17:17; Wisdom of Sirach 4:20-25; Psalm 18; Hebrews 10:24-25
One thought on “Episode 131 – Christian Genre Fiction and the Satanic Panic (with Daniel Silver and Father David Subu)”
Another great episode! It made me think of a few other things Christian genre geeks might like. (Warning: it’s all from the Catholic tradition, but should be of interest to other Christians too.)
