    So, looking into details… This article title is technically correct, but feels very misleading.

    Kristen was hired for voice acting work playing Mary Magdalene in this story with reportedly over 100 other actors and they’re selling it as a podcast. That ‘podcast’ happened to land with Fox News. It sounds like they’ve basically just done an audiobook and paired it with some extra narration.

    Featuring over 100 notable actors voicing characters of the Bible, the series will include Kristen Bell (Mary Magdalene), Sean Astin (Matthew), Neal McDonough (Jesus), Brian Cox (Voice of God), Malcolm McDowell (Caiaphas), John Rhys-Davis (narrator) and Julia Ormond (Mary Mother of God), among others. Introduced in four installments, “The Life of Jesus Podcast” will air aligned with key moments in the Christian calendar.

      Instead of reiterating the same parts again and again, maybe they should produce a show “The parts of the Bible your pastor never told you about” instead.
