    S2E16 The Life and Crimes of Jim Bakker

    A recap of the TerrorVault in San Francisco before talking Bay Area traffic and national politics. Then I delve into the life of Jim Bakker. A man who spent years preying on people while praying for people.

    S2E15 The Death of Matthew Shepard

    A political scandal, what else is new? Also a failed execution of a murderer convicted for a horrendous crime. I discuss that before telling the story of Matthew Shepard, a victim of a horrible hate crime that had a profound effect on me as well as the entire nation.

    S2E14 The Death of Madalyn Murray O'Hair

    I begin the episode talking about my deconversion from Christian to Atheist. Then I talk about the life and murder of Madalyn Murray O'Hair. A controversial figure, for sure, but not deserving of her tragic end.

    S2E13 The Greetings from Nowhere Crossover

    This episode is the audio from the Greetings from Nowhere/Shameful Nature crossover live episode from YouTube. It was originally broadcast on the GFN YouTube page at https://youtube.com/@nowherestaff?si=6xthGMitPCysAsJQ. We talk about quite a few topics that have been hitting the news lately. BTW, my lisp is working overtime in this episode. I'm wondering if it's cause I use a homemade pop filter normally. But I didn't want that ugly thing on camera so didn't use it. I've since bought a professional looking one for next time. But damn, even after almost a year, I still hate the sound of my own voice.
