What started as a blog is now a podcast. Hosted by Bri-anne Swan (writer, United Church of Canada minister, singer-songwriter, and occasional holy shit-stirrer), This Used to Be a Blog is a simple podcast: one voice, one mic, and words that started as blog posts—now spoken aloud. These are essays about faith, doubt, politics, grief, justice, and what it means to stay human in an age that keeps trying to hollow us out. Sometimes there’s a prayer. Sometimes there’s just a pause. You don’t have to be religious. You just have to care about people. Whether you’re aching, angry, hopeful, or all three—welcome.
