We interview @aaronbaker, who went viral for calling attention to the incorrect Constitution being in the God Bless the USA Bibles that Ryan Walters had placed in Oklahoma schools. We also dive into the details of amplifying messages without adding to the noise of misinformation. We include our standard Make it Make Sense and Social Media Spotlight sections, as well. Audio was recorded in studio & in Zoom, this will be the only episode that sounds like this, we promise! 

We catch up a bit on KB's new adventure and then dive right into interviewing Rural Oklahoma Pride. As always, our Make it Make Sense Section is at the end. We forgot the Social Media Spotlight this week. We will be SURE to include it next week!
