    397 - Jim Bakker: The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again) of an American Grifter

    Jim Bakker, and his wife, Tammy Faye, revolutionized tele-evangelism in the 1970s and 1980s. Their PTL Club, was, at it's height, pulling in millions a WEEK in donations to support their cause.

Robert Howard episode review

This commentary on Mr Howard’s life was disrespectful and an abomination to a great man. Shame on you. You are a hyped up muppet that seriously lacks comedic sense, reverting to filth and dirty humour to get a laugh. Go choke yourself.
