It's the first installment of The Fear of God: Ghoul Scouts Edition! This week, Reed and Nathan are lost in the shadows as Vera Goudie and Jess Fischli take over the show with a discussion of the infamous thriller from Karyn Kusama and writer Diablo Cody: JENNIFER'S BODY.Starring Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer's Body tells a subversive and darkly comic tale of codependency, possession, and good, old-fashioned revenge. The film, originally pitched to audiences as a kind of feminine slasher, is a far more interesting and layered piece than its first audiences recognized.Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a lively and thoughtful discussion that we really hope you enjoy!Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?3:23 - JENNIFER'S BODYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Easily one of the most unconventional films of last year was the French throwback to folk horror tales of the 1970s: THE VOURDALAK. Set in the 18th century, it follows a Marquis who becomes displaced after being robbed and finds his way to the shelter of a strange family. To say too much more would be to rob this unique, surprising, and disarmingly potent film of its fun -- and its terror. It features a vintage aesthetic, outstanding performances, and a monster that will absolutely not be what you're expecting.It also features some profound observations about the insidious nature of power pursuits, the creeping dread of control that pretends to be love, and the necessity of remembering our capacity to change. It's also a fun, gory chiller perfect for a dark and stormy night. We're joined by author and friend of the show Sarah Welch-Larson for a lively and thoughtful conversation that we really hope you enjoy.Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To8:30 - THE VOURDALAKSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We continue our look back at some of the most interesting horror films of 2024 by examining a haunting, dread-soaked thriller from Oz Perkins, LONGLEGS. Starring Maika Monroe and Nicolas Cage (in a completely unhinged performance), Longlegs tells the story of an FBI agent in the mid-90s investigating a series of murders that all appear to be connected to someone who wasn't even there when they happened. We're joined by friends of the show Matt Ruff and Blake Collier, as well as first-time guest Scott Tynes-Miller to discuss the differing experiences with this film, its myriad of theological and sociological interests, and our varied interpretations of its haunting ending.Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a hearty and thoughtful conversation that we really hope you enjoy.Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?5:40 - Troubadour Booksellers15:49 - LONGLEGSSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to 2025 everyone! We are kicking things off with a couple of big announcements, a few special guests, and an over-sized episode about one of the most fascinating horror films of the last few years: Coralie Fargeat's THE SUBSTANCE. Starring Demi Moore in possibly a career-best performance, The Substance is about an aging fitness starlet who takes an experimental drug to create a younger, "better" version of herself. Things do not go according to plan.At its heart, The Substance is a bold, exceptionally crafted exploration of cultural stigma around aging and appearance. But along the way, it has some profound observations to make about our relationships with ourselves and the ways our perceptions of our bodies can lead us down dark and destructive paths. We're joined by friends of the show Vera Goudie, Jess Fischli, and Jocee Worley for a vulnerable, thoughtful, and occasionally hilarious discussion about the multitude of fascinating things this film has on its mind.Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a hearty and heartfelt conversation that we really hope you'll enjoy.5:24 - A Few Brief AnnouncementsPatron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?12:41 - THE SUBSTANCEFind Reed and Tyler's book Valley of the Shadow: The Spiritual Value of Horror here.

Before we draw our slate of 2024 episodes to a close, we wanted to highlight a creepy, atmospheric chiller from Damien McCarthy called ODDITY. Intimate in scope but provocative in its implications, Oddity takes some familiar elements and configures them in decisively unconventional ways. It's a revenge thriller, it's a murder mystery, it's a ghost story, it's a haunted house tale, it's a witchy-golem-slasher-cannibal monster movie, and most of all it's a fascinating creeper. Anchored by strong performances and a sharp script, it subverts expectations and has a unique power to linger with you even after it has finished.We're joined by Gorey Gamer Matt Murray for a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment and to discuss all things Oddity.

We close down our march through a handful of recent Dracula-inspired films by taking a look at last year's RENFIELD. Starring Nicholas Hoult and Akwafina, Renfield is an energetic, humorous, and remarkably thoughtful take on codependency, oppressive relationships, and rampant injustice. Oh.... and Nic Cage plays Dracula.We're joined this week by FoGers and friends, Vera Goudie and John Viinalass to unpack all the mayhem, all the laughs, and the disarming amount of depth this film carries with it.

We kick off a brand new mini-series this week all about the most infamous bloodsucker in all of culture. Earlier this year, we drilled down on some recent films which were inspired by Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Coincidentally, the same thing has been happening with Bram Stoker's original classic vampire tale, inspiring a handful of films in the last year or two based upon different aspects of the Dracula story.So we start this series with a direct adaptation, one which forever influenced the way vampires were depicted in pop culture entirely. 1992's BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, is a lush and excessive production full of gothic grandeur and theatricality. It features incredible performances from Gary Oldman and Anthony Hopkins and a script which drills in on the concept of lost love, abandonment of faith, and the nature of appetite and longing. We're joined this week by fellow film critic and host of the "1 of my Stories" podcast, Lindsey Dunn, to discuss the film's rich tapestry of religious symbolism, desperate romance, and -- of course -- bloodsucking vampires.Also featuring a Patron-only segment where we catch up on our "Whatchas", this is a fun and hearty episode that we really hope you enjoy.6:24 - Getting to Know Lindsey DunnPatron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?15:52 - BRAM STOKER'S DRACULASee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In October of 2019, we covered this horror sci-fi landmark as part of our #ilovethe70s series. This week, we're revisiting it as part of our tribute to the late Donald Sutherland. This time around, we've invited two friends of the show: bestselling author Matt Ruff and Gorey Gamer Matt Murray. We all have a tremendous amount of positive things to say about this excellent film that explores paranoia, humanity, and societal destabilization. It holds up remarkably even almost 50 years since its release.Also featuring a Patron-only "Whatcha" segment, this is a fun conversation that we really hope you enjoy.Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?5:31 - INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS ReduxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in State Representative Donna Scheuren after news this week that her bill to protect homeowners has been largely squashed by Democrats, who want to prioritize squatters over homeowners. Also, Scheuren delves into the passing of the new budget in which Republicans had to regrettably make some concessions concerning school choice, with Scheuren highlighting some of the things that she and other conservatives were able to get into the bill, including a huge advancement for armed security in Pennsylvania schools. Then, Dom welcomes in Officer Mark Dallas, a retired school resource officer from out in Dixon, Illinois, who thwarted a school shooting at a graduation rehearsal a couple years back by shooting and wounding the assailant. Dallas was invited on the show after a new budget was passed within the past few weeks in Pennsylvania that suggests all school districts employ an armed security guard. Dallas takes us through the sad day, and explains why his presence saved many lives, telling how he hopes to help to train incoming resource officers.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. This week, in a very special edition of Readin' Writin' and Reason, Dom offers up a focus on the historical events of last weekend, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life. First, Dom welcomes in Combat Veteran Captain Sean Parnell, Trump advisor and host of BattleGround on Rumble, on to hear his first-hand account of hear the bullet crack over his head as he watched Trump get shot on Saturday. Parnell provides an incredibly candid first-hand account of the events as they unfolded, telling how close he was to being struck, and offering his military expertise on the ultimate failings of the Secret Service. Also, Parnell offers his role as a first-hand witness to address questions that have been raised by conspiracy theorists online. (Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images) Then, Dom welcomes former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, author of Courage Under Fire: Under Siege and Outnumbered 58 to 1 on January 6th. Sund wears his hat as somebody who worked in conjunction with the Secret Service on a daily basis to break down the decisions made by the Secret Service and leader Kimberly Cheatle that led to the unsafe environment. Also, Sund tells what should have been done, and tells why he thinks this should be treated with the same vigor as investigations into January 6th.  Finally, Dom welcomes Colonel Allen B. West in to gather his thoughts, as a lauded military expert, on the failings of the United States Secret Service during the attempt on Donald Trump's life. First, West offers his analysis on the decision to not place a sniper on the roof that the assassin used, telling that there's absolutely no reason for there not to be somebody posted there with the direct line of sight to Trump. Then, West wears his hat as a former Congressman, offering why he doesn't think there's a planned conspiracy here, but rather an abject failure by the Secret Service. Finally, West, who's faced unfair criticism for comments taken out of context in the past, offers his thoughts on the refusal for the media to hold themselves accountable for their inflammatory rhetoric in the past.

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters back onto the podcast after he's been criticized by Leftist media for calling for bible-friendly education in Oklahoma and in schools nationwide. Walters has been quoted as saying that every classrooms should contain a bible, so it can be taught in historical context. Walters notes that there are certain parts of American history that is intertwined with the bible, pointing toward the Mayflower Compact, the Puritans, and the Quakers as multiple instances of history in which contextualizing the bible is important. Walters proposes this as a pushback against efforts to remove the bible from curriculum, expressing the importance in letting children know how faith led to some of America's greatest accomplishments and innovations.  Then, Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Representative Martina White onto the podcast, who's dialing from Harrisburg after stepping out of session determining the upcoming budget. Dom asks Martina about the back-and-forth in the Capitol, particularly focusing on school choice, something that Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro used to win, since turning 180 and abandoning his stance on the issue. White explains whether school choice will ever become a reality in Pennsylvania, and separately offers her thoughts on the continued reign of District Attorney Larry Krasner here in Philadelphia.

Have we got a fun episode for you this week! SHADOW IN THE CLOUD from 2020 is part claustrophobic radio play, part creature-feature, part war movie, and part absolutely bananas-bonkers action fantasy. Chloe Grace-Moretz stars as a WWII gunner who boards a plane under top secret orders with some top secret cargo, only to discover mid-flight that the plane is under attack from a malevolent creature. We're joined this week by Vera Goudie, Jess Fischli, and Jocee Worley for a very lively debate about the film's merit, its message, and its manic, absurdist energy. Our individual opinions vary wildly on this film, but also guide us into a thoughtful reflection on the spectrum of perspectives in all walks of life, and provides a fascinating opportunity to make room for approaches and responses that differ greatly from our own.Also featuring a Patron-Only Whatcha segment, we hope you enjoy hearing this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?4:42 - SHADOW IN THE CLOUDPlease note -- this conversation features a good bit of salty language.

Full Hour | Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in Ocean City Councilman-Elect Keith Hartzell, who has a lot to say after a stabbing on Memorial Day weekend on their world famous boardwalk.  Hartzell, who joined frequently last summer speaking out against a new edict set forth by the Murphy administration, once again explains how local police hands are tied in dealing with juveniles after the statewide edict disallowing police to address teen usage of marijuana or alcohol. Councilman Hartzell explains how this has all unfolded, explaining why not only Ocean City, but Wildwood and Atlantic City are also seeing explosions of teens on the boardwalk engaging in violent behavior, and how local leaders are working together to take on the State in hopes to change the trend. Then, Dom welcomes Wildwood Mayor Ernie Troiano Jr. on to discuss the wave of violence that shore towns saw this Memorial Day weekend, a preview of what may be a regularity throughout this summer season. Yesterday, after needing to issue a State of Emergency over the weekend, Ernie put out a news release that called attention to an edict set forth statewide by Governor Phil Murphy that largely ties the hands of police when dealing with juveniles on the boardwalk imbibing in marijuana and alcohol use. Mayor Troiano joins to delve into the situation, explaining what he hopes will be done to allow his law enforcement officers to keep these teen mobs from developing. Finally, Dom welcomes in Sea Isle City Mayor and Cape May County Commissioner Lenny Desiderio on to hear what can be done to control the situation in our shore towns after teenagers caused havoc in Wildwood, Ocean City, and other shore towns over Memorial Day weekend. Desiderio reveals that he has joined with multiple other Mayors to meet and determine how they can return power to their police officers, who've largely had their hands tied in dealing with juveniles after edicts set forth by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy in a reactionary move to the heightened awareness of social justice in the summer of 2020. 

Readin, Rightin, Route 23!! THE COUNTRY MUSIC HIGHWAY! In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Kirsten Wilburn and Kristin Brown Norman of Shaping Our Appalachian Region (SOAR) to talk about the Country Music Highway - or Route 23!  Kentucky's Country Music  Highway has produced more stars per square mile than any stretch of roadway in the world.  These two individuals are in charge of putting together a tribute show(s) that not only celebrates those stars of the past, but the future stars as well.  It's important for a region to recognize and celebrate its assets and in Eastern Kentucky there are no better assets than the people.  Hear Kirsten and Kristin talk about the upcoming tribute shows and why SOAR decided to put them together in the first place.  It's more than just the music, however, the locations and entrepreneurial activity is just as important to highlight and support - there's "magic in them mountains," something the guys are reminded of time and time again.  Take a listen to hear what The Country Music Highway is all about and why Route 23 has made and continues to make a significant impact in the region.  You might even hear Neil give his take on the Top 5 Appalachian Songs and why he has decided he needs "to get out more - or add to his list."  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz(s) - or in this case #AppTown(s) - of the week: Russel, Louisa and Ashland - KY!

This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First ,Dom welcomes in Monique Hofkin, a member of the Central Bucks School District, on to discuss a complaint she filed for multiple anonymous parents with the U.S. Department of Education over a Spanish teacher for Central Bucks West who head's their Muslim Student Association. Hofkin tells us what concerned the parents, offering glimpses onto the teacher's social media postings which call, among other things, the death of Jews.  Then, Dom continues by welcoming Guy Ciarrocchi back on to discuss a piece he penned for Broad and Liberty concerning the teacher's union stranglehold on the debate over school choice. Giordano notes the thirst from voters on both sides of the aisle for the allowance to choose where to school their children, with Ciarrocchi explaining why Democratic politicians, even ones who campaign on school choice such as Josh Shapiro, never follow through on their promises.  

We continue our series called #Franklymydear on films inspired by Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein with our penultimate installment. This week we're examining an independent production filmed right in one of our guest's backyard. THE ANGRY BLACK GIRL AND HER MONSTER delivers a smart and disarmingly thoughtful approach to the Frankenstein scenario, repositioning the narrative in the modern, rural south and tackling some pretty heavy themes. It follows Vicaria, a brilliant young student who theorizes that death is merely a disease awaiting a cure. When she resurrects her brother following his untimely death, she unknowingly releases a horror upon the community, although it is not immediately the horror you might imagine. The film is a compelling portrait of the power of identity in the face of systemic obstacles and systemic abuses that -- despite its heavy subject -- leaves a remarkably hopeful statement with us.We're joined by new FoGger Chris Clark and Quarterly Queen Jess Fischli to discuss this impressive film as well as for a Patron-only segment of "Whatcha"s.

This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. This week, Dom welcomes Stephanie, a parent in the North Penn School District, who led a protest last week after a horrific incident played out in her child's school Pennbrook Middle School, back onto the podcast to offer updates on the story after last night's meeting on safety in the school district. Dom first reminds listeners of the story, telling of a terribly violent attack with a Stanley steel mug on a 12-year-old by a 13-year-old who has had a violent past. It came out with the incident that faculty were warned of an impending attack, with allegations that the warnings were ignored due to the gender identity of the assailant. After hanging up with Stephanie, Dom takes a call from Vince Altieri, another father in the North Penn school district, who penned an article for North Penn Now about the horrific attack in the district. Vince explains why he's called for changes to administration, noting a continued trend of politics prioritized over other issues in the district, here being the safety of students. 

Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First, Dom welcomes in Stephanie, a parent of a 7th grader at Pennbrook Middle School, onto the podcast to discuss why she and other parents were out protesting the North Penn School District for answers concerning a brutal lunchroom attack on a 12-year-old. Stephanie takes us inside the situation, telling of the horrific incident that he daughter now has nightmares about featuring a 13-year old student bloodying another with a Stanley steel mug in an attack that could've potentially been prevented had school leadership heeded the warnings of students. Next, Dom welcomes Washington Examiner reporter Chris Tremoglie back on for some updates on the shocking controversy. Tremoglie tells of a new injunction released by the judge that demands media not reveal details about the assailant, an odd move as the standard for reporting minors is to not reveal any personal or identifying information. Finally, Dom welcomes Camden County Commissioner Jeffrey L. Nash onto the podcast to discuss why he chose to speak out when he heard of a Voorhees School District-supported pro-Palestine protest that he considers anti-Semitic. Giordano, while he agrees, takes the stance of devil's advocate in asking Nash to justify why this is not solely an expression of the First Amendment. Nash tells of the hateful rhetoric in these anti-Israel protests, noting the way Jewish students feel when seeing other students express such a stance.

We continue our mini-series #Franklymydear which examines horror films inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein with a very recent film from this year. LISA FRANKENSTEIN is the feature debut of Zelda Williams and was written by Diablo Cody. It features a very 80s aesthetic and a darkly comic story of death, resurrection, murder, and how difficult it is to be a teenager. We debate the film's effectiveness and unpack some of our own personal difficulties with finding out how we fit in with a world that is rarely easy and doesn't always seem to want us.Also featuring a Patron-only Whatcha Watchin', Readin', and Listenin' segment, we hope you enjoy this week's stroll through the graveyard!Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?3:36 - LISA FRANKENSTEINSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Then, Tiffany Justice provides an update on her school board members throughout the nation, telling of an FBI investigation into a member who spoke out against the weaponization of the federal government.

As an epilogue to our look back series on some of the most noteworthy horror films of 2023, we ventured into the largely dialogue-free, alien-infested world of the Hulu thriller NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU. Joined by Quarterly King Ian Olson, this is one of our more heavily debated films, as opinions widely vary between the three of us on what this film is trying to say and whether or not it succeeds at what it's aiming for. What emerges is an investigation of the desire to be redeemed, and how the hand offering us salvation may not always put us in the place we truly longed for.Featuring a Patron-only segment detailing some fun "Whatcha"s of late, this is a strong conversation that we really hope you enjoy!Patron Only Segment: Whatcha Watchin' / Readin' / Listenin' To?3:52 - NO ONE WILL SAVE YOUSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First,Dom welcomes back Riley Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer and strong fighter for Title IX who has joined the show on multiple occasions, to discuss the explosion in popularity of the Women's NCAA Basketball Tournament. Gaines explains her pride in seeing her fellow women's athletes succeed, telling of some record-setting numbers set last year in the world of women's volleyball. Then, Riley, after rising to fame after competing against Trans UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas, discusses the new threats levied toward women's sports and Title IX. Also, Riley tells about her upcoming book Swimming Against the Current, which releases in late May. Then, Dom continues the Dom Giordano Program by welcoming in Nicole Neily, President and Founder of Parents Defending Education, to discuss a curriculum being funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation called ‘A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction,' which seeks to ‘dismantle racism in mathematics instruction.' Neily explains the issues with this form of curriculum, telling of the negative impacts of DEI and Critical Race Theory-driven educational topics. Also, Neily discusses whether Ivy League schools still hold their prestige only a week after acceptance letters were sent to prospective students.

First, Dom welcomes in Kate Gorka onto the podcast to discuss her new book NextGen Marxism, which tells of the evolved version of Marxism that we see employed by the far Left, and how it differs from traditional Marxism. In the book, Gorka and her co-author Mike Gonzalez write of the new-age Marxism that was ‘shaped by European intellectuals adapted and refined by America's student radicals of the 1960s, and diffused throughout the culture as those student radicals became professors, community organizers, and leaders.' Gorka tells how this has effected not only the United States but all of Western Civilization, telling the importance of recognizing the spread in combating the ideology. Also, Dom asks Gorka about comments made by Joe Rogan, who today mentioned that Israel is performing genocide on Gaza after Edward Snowden released video of drone bombings of allegedly unarmed citizens.  Then, Dom welcomes Pennsylvania State Representative Joe D'Orsie back onto the podcast to discuss a bill considered controversial by legacy media that he co-sponsored. HR2155, which was introduced Monday as part of a package of legislation designed to protect teachers, has come under fire due to the bills protections for teachers who refuse to use students' pronouns. D'Orsie rejects the reporting around the bill, stressing that this bill is not targeting or being malicious toward LGBT students, but protecting teacher's right to free speech.

Chang, author of The Coming Collapse of China, The Great US-China Tech War, and the just-released China is Going to War, back onto the podcast to discuss the governmental push to control TikTok. Chang provides a deep dive into the controversial social media app, telling of the nefarious ways that the Chinese Communist government uses the technology to subvert American and Western culture. Then, Dom welcomes in 1210WPHT's Sunday night host and head of SaveJersey.com Matt Rooney back onto the podcast to discuss a report by the New Jersey government into the effects of Coronavirus on the learning of schoolchildren. In the extensive report, much of what conservatives claimed have come true, with notable losses in learning for students who were forced to stay home. Then, Rooney tells us about the New Jersey Senate race, telling that SaveJersey.com will be hosting a Republican debate, running through which Senate candidates he believes have the best shot to become the first Republican NJ Senator elected since prior to Watergate.

This week, Beth Ann Rosica joins to discuss her research into the so called “book bans' locally in our school districts. She details how skewed the selection in the library are towards progressive views and how there's near-zero amount of conservative literature. Is it more of a librarian issue or a school board one? Beth Ann purposely left out any Trump related reading materials in her studies, knowing how many people feel about him living in a swing state, yet the stats for conservatives continue to skew low. Take a listen!

This week, Dom welcomes in Wally Zimolong, attorney working as co-counsel with America First Legal (AFL), to the podcast after he recently won a case for a client who was suspended from a school campus after quoting from the Bible publicly. Zimolong tells the story of Kombe Sefelino, a student on the campus of the County College of Morris, who refused to self-censor himself after pushback while reading and preaching straight from the bible, making references that were considered anti-LGBT. Zimolong clarifies our free speech laws, explaining what the client received in a stipulated order, warning of the implications of allowing this form of trouncing of the First Amendment.

Then, Dom welcomes in Dave Brown, a longtime high school coach of many sports out in Oregon, who announced last week that he'd resign due to his refusal to support biologically male students competing with biologically female athletes. Brown explains his decision, noting that his wife also retired due to the same principle, telling of the negative implications that this social push has had on Title IX and women and girls playing sports.
