AI Political Ads and Other Spooky Midterm Specters + Robert P. Jones
Om den här podden

While navigating a city where people sleep in on Sunday mornings and the chaste motto “true love waits” isn’t a thing, the two have found a renewed, vibrant faith that has been both strengthened and stretched in the metropolis.
