Phil Cooke: podcast appearances and interviews

Phil Cooke, born on August 31, 1954, is an American writer, television producer, and media consultant based in Burbank, California. He is known for his commentary on contemporary American and American-influenced Christian culture. As an evangelical Christian, Cooke has been recognized both as a critic and a commentator; Scott McClellan of Collide Magazine noted that while Cooke may appear to be a critic of Christian media, his critiques stem from a place of love. In 1991, he and his wife Kathleen founded Cooke Media Group, which has been involved in media production and consulting. Cooke has authored the book 'Church on Trial – How to Protect Your Congregation, Mission and Reputation During a Crisis,' addressing strategies for managing crises within church communities. He was also a co-founder of TWC Films, a company that produced two Super Bowl commercials in 2008. Throughout his career, Cooke has combined his roles as a media professional and cultural commentator, contributing to discussions on the intersection of faith, media, and culture.
