The Secular Perspective

This week we discuss CRISPR and some of the problems it is discovered to have. Two married women both carried the same baby in a new technique. Indonesia is on the verge of a measles epidemic if the Muslims there do not start getting vaccines. Finally, there is a new app for Hindu’s to purchase prayers through an app and we totally bastardize the concept.

Jeff Sessions has finally been fired/asked to resign which will probably get the ball rolling on some more craziness. In the midst of that, we are dealing with wrapping up the midterm elections, and a deadly wildfire and another shooting in California.

It’s been a month since we have recorded and Amanda wants to explain what has been going on while we were gone. This is a much more personal episode for both of us in which we talk about our families and mental health. I know it’s not our usual show but it’s something we felt we needed to do.

I do make mention of some videos I edited for a listener dealing with voting that I am linking below as well in case people would like to listen.

After a month long hiatus, we are back to have a quick discussion of the week that included the multiple pipe bombs sent in the mail, and the shootings that happened in Pittsburgh and Kentucky. We also give a shout out to our newest Patreon subscriber, Raj. Finally we have an in studio guest, Audrey the Dog. She was a good girl but got a little excited at times.
