Heretic Party

In this episode, Christian and Joe discuss the disturbing and objectively badass comics of renowned Christian bigot, Jack T. Chick. Unfortunately, a  religion-inspired, anti-LGBTQ bill in the Idaho Senate casts a pall over the fun as it threatens open the prison doors for librarians and teachers who are just doing their fucking jobs! Join us as we discuss Idaho HB 666 and The Broken Cross, by Jack Chick.

Christian and Joe couldn't decide what to do to celebrate Easter, so they chose NOTHING! Instead, they solicited questions from listeners and took the opportunity to overshare. It's an Easter miracle! Your questions died on Friday and were resurrected, reinterpreted, and returned to you in the form of poorly-worded answers. Praise Dog, the tomb of questions is empty.

Welcome to Heretic Party! In this first full episode, Joe and I play "Redemption", the Christian alternative to Magic the Gathering.
