"This Seems Like a Bad Idea"

This week we kinda let ourselves ramble a bit, and the conversation hopefully takes a few interesting turns. First, a recounting of the Passover story and a discussion about whether parents should overly concern themselves with what their children believe about such things, news from Florida and Texas about what is taught in schools and available in libraries, America’s Favorite Game Show, and a lengthy discussion about Jerrod Carmichael’s new HBO special. Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something? You can tell us all about it on Facebook or Twitter, leave a comment on the show’s page on our website, or you can send us an email here. Enjoy!
