For those interested, here is the episode in the docu-podcast (ep 1 of season 3) wherein I mention "The Reckoning" and interview Kara. Gotta give credit where it's due and hers was a great contribution to this series.

I always value Brandon's reporting, he is awesome. Way back a few years back ago, I was helping a friend (a committed liberal atheist) put out GC News. There was very little coverage from publications on the left to share with people in our daily roundup. Before the Reuters series, or the NYT started some good reporting. Actually, weird I know, but at that time there was very little on the right either! The whole thing just hadn't splashed on the US shores much. But we discovered Brandon and a publication I had never come across, The Christian Post. Not my usual fare! But he was and is a real reporter, who also does not apologize for his own personal beliefs. I so respect that. But more than that--people with great integrity like Brandon Shoalwater remind me to hold my own beliefs about reality a bit more lightly. I've been wrong before, and (huh!) maybe I don't get how it all works at all. I now have Evangelical Christian friends who I met through genderworld. I'm still not a Christian, and they still are, but we love each other. I wish there were more writers like him and Lisa S. Davis who crave more than clicks, who aren't just trying to advance a political agenda, who are coming from a deep sense of justice and fairness in reporting. When I read this review whenever it came out, it actually felt healing to me, like I was finally being seen--to have the feminists, not only Kara, but decades of them, acknowledged for their wisdom and clarity of thought instead of demonized as so many conservative writers do. Many cheers for Brandon and also for you Jenny!
