Sam is back for a moment to talk Persian history, coinage, soccer, and fascism with Dave and Becky.  Then Becky interviews Katia Mugenzi and Francis Mwine about the Taasa Foundation, a school for deaf children in Uganda. 

Sam, Tom, Dave, and Ramtho close out the year by responding to listener inquiries about AI, cloning, and genetic modification. They also try to make sense of tone-policing preferred reactions to Nazis,  the problems inherent in a heresy snitching app, and scriptural DNA injections. 

Becky, Wes, & Meredith consider the unlikely end of the world, supernatural realms, Bigfoot, and Juggalos. Becky rages at the Christian anti-school machine.
