We begin the episode talking about some big decisions for Jaeger. Then we answer a listener's question about Patriotism. Or do we? I ended that discussion with so much more to say. And I forgot to mention the National Parks! And then we included a little more with Alastair Lichten, a humanist activist and community organiser, about when kids want to speak up about politics and other sensitive issues.

The Family Skeptical: We're a married atheist couple raising two wonderful, strange children. We ask big questions, dissect weird parenting moments, and examine how society ignores or misrepresents families like ours. If you're any stripe of non-believer who's involved in raising children, welcome! You are our people.

Our kids are Reader (12) and Jaeger (9), and if you want to find out how we arrived at these peculiar pseudonyms, go back to Episode 1 and 61.
