'CrossBread' - a funny, polished and very clever Christian mockumentary

'CrossBread' is a six-part ABC mockumentary podcast that charts the fortunes of a non-Christian Christian hip-hop group of the same name, and the Guardian says it's great. It's about siblings Josh and Joan who find unlikely success on the Christian rock circuit and have to pretend to have found Jesus in order to maintain their status as the hottest hip-hop act in the parish. There's a "reverend Philip Brock – an archetypal 'groovy priest' figure, played by veteran musician John Waters – sees potential ('they were the only Christian band that didn’t make me want to crucify myself'), so long as he can smooth out their rough edges". Check it out on ABC.
