Cat Cults, Tom Brady, Mormon Obit, and Michael Wolff—The Fourth Estate Podcast, Ep.20

Old host Marty Duren is joined by new co-host Bob Smietana to talk about news and reporting.

On this episode we discuss whether New England quarterback Tom Brady is living a version of Bob’s favorite story: the cat cult; what the New York Times got wrong in its obit of Mormon Church leader Thomas Monson; and, does Michael Wolff’s book Fire and Fury reflect true journalism.

About Me

Hi, I'm Marty Duren

I’m Marty Duren, a freelance writer, content creator, podcaster, and publisher in Nashville, TN. I guess that makes me an entrepreneur-of-all-trades. Formerly a social media strategist at a larger publisher, comms director at a religious nonprofit, and a pastor, Marty Duren Freelance Writing is the new business iteration of a decade-long side-hustle.

I host the Uncommontary Podcast which publishes weekly. Guests range from academics to authors to theologians to activists on subjects related to history, current events, and the impact of evangelicalism on American life. My voice is deep-fried giving rise to being labeled “a country Batman.” Find Uncommontary in your favorite podcast app.

Missional Press publishes books by Christian writers with the goal of impacting people with the good news of Jesus. 

I’m a longtime blogger at Kingdom in the Midst, where, over the course of many years, I’ve written a lot of words.
