Joe and I had a really fascinating night, one of those evenings on The Agenda when the mix and the topics was topical and provocative. Much of our focus was on the intersection of religion and politics, particularly in the aftermath of Prop 8. We began by talking to Newsweek’s religion editor, Lisa Miller, who wrote the cover story — The Religious Case for Gay Marriage. Listen to or download parts one and two.

The compliment to that conversation was another with Steve Waldman, the editor in chief, founder and president of BeliefNet.org. And we wrestled with the role of the LDS Church and the emergence of The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty in this ongoing debate. Listen or download here.

One of our absolute favorites is blogger Mike Rogers. The publisher of PageOneQ, he was fresh off managing and directing the first bloggers conference in Washington. If you live the online life, you’ll enjoy this one. Listen to or download parts one or two.

Finally, what better way to end the evening than with a movie icon. That would be James Lipton, the 81-year-old host of the emmy-award winning Bravo series, Inside the Actor’s Studio. Barbara Streisand even got Lipton a little starstruck. Take a listen here.
