12/10/19 - He’s a Militant Atheist, But Who Isn’t?

This episode was a long time coming and I hope it's fun for everybody. It sure was for me. I talk about books by Penn Jillette, Paula Hawkins, Liz Moore, and Nick Hornby. I also talking about having seen Joker and the Downton Abbey movie. Then I talk about my recent listening including the new albums by The Who and Leonard Cohen, plus an introduction to what will soon be a recurring segment on Bob Dylan. It's a big show! Hope you enjoy it!
