In this episode we discuss the rise of white evangelical christian nationalism in national politics through the election of Mike Johnson as Speaker of the US House. This discussion provides a good opportunity for Andy to tell his story of growing up in an evangelical house, deconstructing his religious and political views, and then finding himself in politics.
If you listen long enough, you'll also here a surprise discussion on horror films and Steven King.
