Scientology. Is it a science? A religion? A cult? A non-dairy dessert topping? Probably not that last one, but we’ve got Andrew Gold here to break it down before it breaks us down. And then, a big welcome to our new listeners from… (checks map) …Mongolia! It’s Bonnie and Toni’s Oral Report.

What’s the book on the Good Book? And is it any good? Bible historian Ian Mills joins us to dish on who dished what - and when - in the writing of Western civilization’s biggest bestseller.
