Hey Folks, 

We've got a brand spanking new Religion News Godcast up this week with some very special guests. 

You've heard of the hyperlocal websites? Well, our partners have launched online communities dedicated to covering religion and ethics under the leadership of two veteran religion journalists.

We call them FAVs, which stands for Faith & Values. It's pronounced "faves." 

Amanda Green is running the show down in Wilmington, N.C. and Tracy Simmons leads the site in Spokane, Wash.

In the coming weeks and months, we'll be adding FAVs in Columbia, Mo. and Toledo, Ohio. 

Our FAVs are doing cutting edge journalism and have an eclectic mix of contributors, from pagans to evangelicals to Buddhists and Catholics. The goal is to get more than 70 contributors for each site. 

They're a really cool group of folks beginning a very cool adventure. Please consider subscribing to our podcast and check out their sites. 

Cheers,

Daniel Burke
