We were glad to get author, Megan Kennedy, for episode 151 before she says goodbye to Utah. Not only is Megan Kennedy an author, she is a religion specialist, photographer, and archeologist. . . and most importantly, she is also a metal head!
Megan grew up in Utah and while she was attending college she spent time with local publication, SLUG Magazine. Finding her voice with music, art, religion, and local FanX (formerly Salt Lake Comic Con if you are late to the party), you can still read her archived articles. Megan did her studies in religion and archeology, and unlike Indiana Jones, she actually has been on archeological digs without messing anything up or stealing anything! After graduating Megan told us she became a ghost writer. But, you’re going to have to listen to the episode to hear what she was ghost writing!
Megan started the Religious Education Series in Salt Lake City. Her purpose was the help people have a conversation and understand where we each come from. She explained to us that it is religion that shapes us as a society, no matter the religion you are. Living in a highly religious state, Utah, having a conversation with Megan and seeing both the good and bad in religion was refreshing. Megan said that if you don’t have an understanding of how religion shapes people and society, then it is hard to have a non-defensive conversation and see why people behave the way they do.
Her take away was be educated so that the gaps aren’t filled with nonsense.
Listen to the episode, because we don’t really want to give away the great conversation that we had with Megan in a recap!
