In this inaugural episode of the Contexts Podcast, we look at a few Discoveries from our brand new Fall 2008 issue of Contexts that explore the effects of religion on people’s lives. Also, we talk with Andrew Perrin about his Contexts article, Why you voted, as well as how polls are “productive fictions”.

We’re new to podcasting here at Contexts, but we’re planning on bringing these episodes to you on a biweekly basis from here on out, so subscribe to our podcast feed or subscribe to our podcast in iTunes. (Note: we’re new to iTunes, so you can’t find us by searching yet, so you need the direct link for now.)
