Love is Blind: Kyle and Shaina

The Religion and Popular Culture Podcast is back with Season 3! Anthropologist Vivian Asimos joins once again with Sociologist Aled Thomas to discuss Netflix’s Love is Blind season 2, specifically the relationship between Kyle and Shaina. This relationship was filled with conversations about religion: what it means to be religious or “Godly”, how people of different religious understandings can be married, and what it means to be secular. In this episode, Vivian and Aled dissect Kyle and Shaina’s relationship, talking about secularisation, how religion impacts everything in our life, and how Shaina’s conversations revealed a lot about her understanding of family and gender.
