Religion Camp
Hosted by Religion Camp
A comedian's weekly deep-dive into the world's most compelling religious stories, from ancient myths to modern miracles.
This is a solo-hosted, narrative-driven show where comedian Mark Gagnon acts as a curious guide into comparative religion. Each episode is a well-researched presentation on a single topic, such as a specific deity, a theological concept, or a miracle story, framed as a 'camping trip' into the world's beliefs. It is not an interview show, but a storytelling format where producer Christos Papadopoulos occasionally chimes in with questions and reactions.
“Unlike shows hosted by academics or clergy, Religion Camp is led by a comedian whose genuine curiosity drives the narrative. The 'camping' theme provides a casual and accessible frame for exploring often complex and sacred topics from an outsider's perspective.”
