In Memoriam: Morgan Lambert. Nick, Luke, and Becky touch on xmas music, predatory tithing, a new biblical theme park, and domestic terrorist Matt Shea. They welcome author David Fitzgerald, who challenges the historicity of Jesus and his sexuality.

Sam, Josh, and Luke follow up on yet another Kentucky license plate rejection, question the “wisdom” of sunning one’s nethers, comment on novel ways scientists are attempting to support dying coral reefs, and marvel at an immigrant’s ingenuity in taking down a terrorist with a narwhal tusk.

Sam relates his experience watching an antifascist soccer protest unfold. Becky and Luke examine the spectrum of Christian and white supremacy. Dan explains hypotheses of how DNA came about. Everybody gets a rant.

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.
