I do love the religion shows. I will try to send you some even more cutting commentary on religion for the next one. Ever listen to Dan Savage?
These religion shows are great. SUCH an important topic to address! And I agree with @TaylorK, Dan Savage is fantastic; he spoke at my alma mater last fall, and presented a powerful case re: the destructive force of religion and the conservative right. Keep it up, Jay!
Review on ITunes
This was another really good episode showing the how the Conservative Movement and the Religious Right has worked together to undermine true freedom, liberty, and democracy in the U.S. (America).
