Telling Jefferson Lies: Debunking the Myth that America was Founded as a Christian NationCharlie Kirk's Christian America, Part TwoSend us a textIn this segment, I examine the notion that there was something remarkably Christian about America's founding era. Last week, I fact-checked Charlie Kirk's viral video defense of the belief that America was founded as a Christian nation in the legal sense. Most of what Kirk had to say was irrelevant or incorrect. Today, I consider an overview of moral and religious failings during the founding era. Along with guests Jemar Tisby, Mark Noll, George Marsden, Caleb Campbell, and Aaron Cowan, I contradict Charlie Kirk's call to return to America's Christian roots. I...

Telling Jefferson Lies: Debunking the Myth that America was Founded as a Christian NationThe O'Connor QuestionSend us a textIn 2005, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor asked an important question for those who would erode separation of church and state: "Why would we trade a system that has served us so well for one that has served others so poorly? "I spend much of this episode affirming that we should not trade. Much of this series has been raising alarm about Christian nationalism and supporting separation of church and state.

The Best Little Horror House in PhillyCarrie (1976) with Mark RennieThis week, Mark Rennie from 2 Old Queens is here to talk about 1 Prom Queen - CARRIE!! Brian De Palma's first commercial hit is also the best horror movie ever made. Who knew! We're also talking other potential Margaret White vehicles, the balancing act of teenagerhood, and aggressive gym teachers! Don't miss out!
from the "not corrections but clarifications i guess" department:
A flame is a mixture of gases (vaporized fuel, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, water vapor, etc) and so is matter, but the light and heat produced by the flame are both energy, not matter.

It’s features an assassin who takes over other people’s bodies, murders a mark, and then kills the host body. Tom Reimann joins us for this fun little jaunt about the death of empathy! I thought we kept the podcast pretty fun though. We had a good time.

Lagrange PointEpisode 313 - Cross continent pop hits from whales and deep diversThe greatest pop hits can cross continents, but what about oceans? We all know whales make songs, but not only are they very complex, they can be covered, repeated and spread like a Number 1 summer hit across oceans to the far flung corners of the globe. Plus reaching the deepest depths of the ocean is tough for humans, but easy for whales. How do they accomplish these great feats?
