This week, we lay out a Pendleton blanket, crack open a couple of cold ones and gather 'round the campfire as we welcome Cara Meredith, author of Church Camp: Bad Skits, Cry Night, and How White Evangelicalism Betrayed a Generation. "Make purple?" The nefarious OUTBACK night?

Look, we didn't know about half this stuff until Cara enlightened us. This conversation was a little bit fun, a little bit freaky, and a whole lot enlightening. Plus: Morgan's bad habit and Sara's encounter with none other than HILLARY. Tune in!
