This Week<\/strong>: Ben and Rich have a varied conversation. The Elephant in the Room this week is March Madness, which Ben and Rich discuss congenially. That all changes once the discussion of the past week\u2019s articles begins. Ben and Rich discuss (but mostly debate) Rainn Wilson\u2019s SoulPancake.com, Barack Obama\u2019s position on stem cell research, and U2\u2019s celebrity status. Believe the hype: Ben and Rich Throw Down in an Epic Battle for the Minds of their Listeners!.. By which we mean, there\u2019s lots of awkward pauses and interupting.<\/p>\n

Every week, Richard Clark and Ben Bartlett sit back and discuss the posts of the previous week on Christ and Pop Culture, acknowledge and respond to the big issues in popular culture, and give a sneak peak at the week ahead. We love feedback! If you\u2019d like to respond you can comment on the website, send an email to christandpopculture@gmail.com, or go to our contact page<\/a>. We would love to respond to feedback on the show, so do it now! Subscribe to us in iTunes by clicking here<\/a>. While you\u2019re at it, give us some good iTunes feedback! We\u2019ll love you forever!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
