TEXT AND ROCK.
Ancient myth and artifact meet poetry and rhythm for the post-modern soul.
Hosted by Mark Shaffer and Eric Madison, TEXT AND ROCK is a weekly podcast that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary life. Mark, an antiquarian, writer, and part-time punk rocker, and Eric, a musician, podcaster, and rhythm instructor, delve into topics ranging from biblical texts and ancient artifacts to modern spirituality and cultural critique. Their engaging discussions aim to help listeners read the Bible like an ancient and have faith like a modern.
Whether you're seeking to deepen your understanding of sacred texts, explore the intersections of faith and culture, or simply enjoy thought-provoking conversations, TEXT AND ROCK offers a unique perspective that resonates with the post-modern soul.

LIVE AT THE TOGETHER WE RISE MURAL, CEDAR RAPIDS.

Mark and Eric set up a street performance in front of the "Together We Rise" mural in Cedar Rapids, IA. The mural is a bunch of hands stacked up to the Cedar Rapids skyline, representing the need to work together to rise as a society.
We did a live set of four poems, and the connection between them is doing the intellectual and moral work on yourself so that you can forgive and live graciously... as opposed to judging culture, opposite political parties, or individuals who have hurt you in the past. We hope you love it!
