And Also Some Women is a look at the Bible’s most fascinating women. Listen in as host Junia Joplin and reporter Anne Thériault explore popular Biblical women through a feminist lens.

In our debut episode of And Also Some Women, hosts Junia Joplin and Anne Thériault delve into Mary Magdalene, a figure who has been depicted in many different ways: as a sex worker, as the apostle to the apostles, even as Jesus’ wife. In this episode they’ll try to figure out what, if any, of those characterizations are accurate.

This episode’s guests are Diana Butler Bass, Elizabeth Schrader Polczer and Nikole Mitchell.
