Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.


In today’s episode, we sit down with author David Scott Hay and discuss how one goes about killing Jesus. More specifically, we have a long conversation about his new book, The Butcher of Nazareth, in which our protagonist has been given that very task to prevent the apocalypse. We also talk about giant disgusting goats!

David also breaks down his writing style, the unusual origin of this book (you’ll never guess what it was originally supposed to be about), the book’s amazing cover, and the grueling nature of putting together a period piece.
