S1E28 Screwtape's 19th Letter: Not your average "Christian" sex talk. With Anna Shuman.

S1E27 Screwtape's 18th Letter: Lies about singleness; lies about humanity. With Anna Shuman.

S1E23 Screwtape's 15th Letter: What if "eternity" starts now? With Oxford Theology Student, Blair Milo.

S1E20 Screwtape's 12th Letter: The wick of Hell burns slowly
Screwtape’s 12th Letter feels like the most hard-hitting yet as he reminds Wormwood that the road to Hell, rather than overt and swift, is often a gradual one. Because Hell is not Satan’s first…
S1E19 Screwtape's 11th Letter: What. A. Killjoy.

S1E18 Screwtape's 10th Letter: Keep your friends close and your frenemies closer
