The show usually is recorded in a pub--that's why there is some background noise on occasion. The topics can vary widely seeing as the Pugsters have different spheres of knowledge and interest, but common themes which appear regularly include the transcendence of God and the meaningfulness of His creation.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-08T18:19:49.635117+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088"},"episode":{"title":"The Not So Secret Life of Francis Bacon with David Innes","slug":"the-not-so-secret-life-of-francis-bacon-with-david-innes","published_at":"2026-06-08T08:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088/the-not-so-secret-life-of-francis-bacon-with-david-innes","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-theology-pugcast-696088","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-theology-pugcast/episodes/The-Not-So-Secret-Life-of-Francis-Bacon-with-David-Innes-e3kcvol","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/930b87c/podcast/play/121060565/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-5-5%2F425583266-44100-2-7c6b2d6661161.mp3","summary":"“Knowledge is Power, Francis Bacon”—we’ve all heard it over and over. But what did he mean? And was he right, or did he intentionally leave important things to know out of his thinking? He’s credited with developing the scientific method, and we should be grateful for this part of his legacy, but people have speculated from the start that he was a closet atheist. He was Thomas Hobbes’s mentor, what should we make of that? Join the pugsters for another free wheeling conversation, today with David Innes, author of, Francis Bacon. (We apologize for the poor quality of Chris’s microphone, there were “technical difficulties” as they say in the business.)
