In our latest podcast, Jessica and I discussed the past week in politics and atheism.

We talked about:

— Holy Land Experience, a Christian theme park, looks like it’ll be shutting down soon. (24:24)

— For some reason, Richard Dawkins wants you to know that eugenics works. (28:30)

— A satirical pro-Trump road sign was a bit too realistic for many. (43:22)
