ScathingAtheist 168: Public Duty Edition
In this week’s episode, we fight bigotry with the power of song, Lucifer gets called the C word, and we learn that those first eight Surahs weren’t the bad ones.
We’d like to offer a special thanks to Anna Phyllis Smith and Morgan Clarke for lending us their musical and mixing expertise respectively this week. And if you can’t Go Take a Public $hit in Oxford, Alabama out of your head, you can get a copy on CD Baby here. All the proceeds will be donated to the Heartland Trans Wellness Group. If you’d like to learn more about them, you can find their website here. If you’d like to hear more from Anna Phyllis Smith, check out her website.
