My 2 cents on the Al Mohler thing. (Late to the party again, I know.) I have zero issue with what he said. He didn't say women shouldn't have podcasts. He said a woman shouldn't be on an official church podcast where her role is to "expound on the sermon, exposit the Word of God to the whole church, and offer practical application advice." If I were asked to do such a thing I would decline and have to seriously reconsider the church I attend. That may be considered "extremist" by some, but as best as I can understand the Scriptures, it's just biblical. The context for Paul's command in 1 Tim. 2:12 is church government, authority, and normative worship. If the podcast falls within that context, I agree with Mohler that a woman would be functioning as a pastor were she to expound, exposit, and apply the Word of God for the congregation. If the context of the podcast is something different, I don't see why a woman couldn't be interviewed. (For example, Al Mohler has himself interviewed several women on his podcast.)
