The StoryMen return for season 7 with best-selling author Ben H. Winters. Ben gives us the scoop on his new book Underground Airlines, a thriller set in an alternate history where slavery was never outlawed in the United States. We talk religion, race and inhabiting a world nearly as terrifying as the one Ben created... our own!
With all three StoryMen working on new book projects, Season 7 promises to be the most exciting yet! With still more guests, hot theological conversations, deep history dives and pop culture picks, the StoryMen are back and better than ever!
