Listen "Episode 1: In Defense of the Indefensible; Recorded April 23rd, 2023"
Episode Synopsis
It's our first episode so buckle up!
First up, we discuss events in the Tenessee House of Representatives that led to house members being ejected and the aftermath.
Next, there were some local happenings here in Juneau Alaska that led to someone being charged with "Terroristic Threatening."
Then we catch up with each other, which involves Derik doing martial arts and Sam shooting lasers.
Next, we discuss a schism in the Anglican church over LGBTQ+ rights and what this means for wider Christianity.
Our last topic of discussion is how people deemed unfit to stand trial should be treated by the justice system.
