It is not often that I get to meet a person who shares my affinity for religious and political culture, so I was over the moon when one of my favorite humans agreed to chat with me. John Fugelsang has a ridiculously long resumé with television, film, and stand-up credits, but it’s his articulation of progressive religion that makes me swoon. His mom is an ex-nun and his dad was a Franciscan Brother, and this upbringing provides a unique lens through which he sees the world (and he says he admires Jesus “as any guy would admire mom’s first husband”).  Fugelsang happily engages the two subjects we’re not supposed to talk about in polite company: religion and politics, and manages to do it while maintaining the most unbelievable head of hair you’ve ever seen.  I hope you enjoy the interview if you can hear any of it over my incessant schoolgirl laughter.  Visit www.blog.johnfugelsang.com for his tour dates and follow him on Twitter here.
