{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Beast and Bible","slug":"beastandbible","podcastDescription":"Hosted by Dr. Seth Pierce, Beast & Bible explores the intersection of the “monstrous”, religion, and popular culture. Informed by academic thought, each episode features accessible dialogue that doesn’t fall into sensationalism, conspiracy theories, or the pitfall of becoming blind pop culture apologists. Instead, this show reveals how the study of monsters can help us become better people - maybe even better people of faith.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/15239008/Beast_and_Bible_Cover_thsxwq.png","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/15239008/Beast_and_Bible_Cover_thsxwq_1200x628.jpg?s=eb535111e2374e8fa53b2e83e43fd352&e=png","podcastUrl":"https://beastandbible.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/beastandbible/feed.xml","theme":"focuspod","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-rhhyw-e88760?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":42,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":false,"showLike":false,"author":"Beast and Bible","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-rhhyw-e88760-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beast-and-bible/id1649839974","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-rhhyw-e88760?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/3dyuFCCl5Aj5IGmeJ3oVAQ?si=3627af29230a4ea8","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"dark"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"PT Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#FF2C2C"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/jxrxgj/ALC_Podcast_Covers_-_MASTERe0827c66-6e99-a9af-7f30-bc96cb712ee9.png"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"
