Saved by the City
Saved by the City is an award-winning Religion News Service podcast from two Christian women working out the contours of faith in a complex world. Tackling topics as wide-ranging as celebrity pastors and childless cat ladies, as serious as Christian Nationalism and as absurd as Rapture trauma, Roxy Stone and Katelyn Beaty aim to make their listeners feel smarter, more informed and less alone. Since launching in 2021, they have hosted a range of impressive guests, from bishops to bartenders, from pop stars to NPR icons. They see the city (NYC, to be precise) as the place where they encounter a big world that enriches rather than threatens their faith. With equal parts smarts and sass, Katelyn and Roxy invite listeners to join them over metaphorical martinis as they reflect on the faith communities that raised them and envision a Christianity that thrives among neighbors of various faiths and perspectives.
