Im a non denominational lay person but still love love love this podcast. thank you guys please keep up the great work. This is my new favorite podcast

awesome

This is a very good podcast reviewing patristic writings. It is thorough and informative and is also the fruit of the labor of the hosts&#39; obvious study and thoughtful engagement with the various texts. I recommend it highly. 
The title of my review refers to the Saturday night live sketch of Alec Baldwin as a baker and Molly Shannon and Anna Gasteyer as NPR style radio host who have him on their show to discuss his baked holiday balls. There are several characteristics of the hosts that unintentionally mimic that sketch from the muted humor to the snuffled laughter that he seems almost like an homage to that sketch. This of course only multiplies my enjoyment of the podcast.
