Joseph Laycock is an assistant professor of religious studies at Texas State University. He has written several books on new religious movements and American religious history including his most recent book: "Speak of the Devil: How the Satanic Temple is Changing the Way We Talk About Religion". He is also a co-editor for the journal Nova Religio. His research interests focus on moral panic; religion and role-playing games; Marian apparitions; spirit possession (Texas State University, 2020). It was an absolute blast having Joseph on and I hope you enjoy this episode.
