Mars Hill Audio

I first subscribed to Mars Hill Audio when it was cassette tapes in the 1990's.  Then, happily continued on when the DVD became the medium.  I have learned LOTS from Ken Myers's interviews and been exposed to much fascinating thinking and perspectives as a result of listening to the different segments. 

I was pleased to see that Mars Hill Audio is moving into a new phase they are calling "membership." They are phasing out of subscription and moving to an all inclusive format that will bring access to more of their work. 

Here is the announcement.  A link below takes you to the browser version.

October 10, 2023 Introducing Mars Hill Audio 5.0 Dear listener, A lot has changed since we mailed our first cassette tapes 30 years ago. Most significantly, a lot has changed in our cultural circumstances as what C. S. Lewis called the un-Christening of the West continues apace. If there was an urgent need for wisdom about navigating modern societies as we began our work in 1993, in 2023 the challenges to Christian faithfulness are even more intense. That urgency is one of the reasons we’re adopting a new method of presenting informative and engaging audio content to our listeners. What we plan to do and how we plan to do it requires a bit of explanation, which is why we’ve produced a video to explain our plans. You can watch it on our website by clicking/tapping on the button below. WATCH THE FIRST VIDEO FROM MARS HILL AUDIO Why “5.0”? In 1993, when we mailed out the first volume of the MARS HILL Tapes, the idea of subscribing to a periodical that you listened to was a strange novelty. The idea of listening to audio via the Internet was virtually unknown, and the first iPods only arrived in 2001. 1) Mars Hill Audio relied exclusively on audio cassettes for years. That’s why we were originally known as the “Mars Hill Tapes.” 2) Then, in A.D. 2000, our first CD edition of the Journal (Volume 46) was mailed to subscribers. 3) Several years later, we enabled listeners to download mp3 files of our Journal and other products, in an effort to accommodate listeners with mobile audio devices. 4) Finally, in 2018, we launched our first mobile app. From cassettes to CDs to downloads to an app. Four different methods of delivery, but one consistent editorial goal: to promote a better understanding of what Christian faithfulness might look like in our cultural lives, and a clearer recognition of the causes and effects of the un-Christening of Western culture. And soon, a 5th stage of our work will commence. Watch the video linked to the button above for an explanation of how we plan to serve our listeners with an improved system of communicating.  Blessings! Ken Myers Host and Producer
