Patrick Henry College dropout Madison Cawthorn is running for Congress in NC 11, but PHC alumni are turning out to protest his candidacy. Abby Osbourne joins Kieryn and Eve to discuss why.

Kieryn and Eve catch up after a brutal September to talk about Amy Coney Barrett's nomination and how the religious right is explaining a woman's rise to power. This is not the Handmaid's tale, but it's not good either.

Kieryn and Eve discuss Devos' history and relationship to HSLDA to begin understanding what her recent attack on public education means and why HSLDA isn't fighting against the free government money they are notorious for hating. Hint: It's not good.

Note from Kieryn: Hi today I was your audio producer, so you may notice some echos and weird sound residue, this is because I'm not a professional just covering for one on vacation. :3 Sorry about the weird feedback. Dave will be back soon!

The stars and the wifi aligned and Kieryn and Eve return to talk about coping with COVID19 isolation, and take a peek into why Samaritan's Purse (and other religious aid organizations) are on the scene and how their religious beliefs may hurt the people they're purportedly supposed to help.
