Blasphemy In The Bluegrass

On this week's episode of Blasphemy in the Bluegrass, we talk about the Show of Shows celebrated in Louisville last February. The FFRF National Convention is very close. We rant about Christian missionaries playing nurses and doctors. And we will put karma to the test in Bunk in the Trunk!
