Folks are in a real bad mood what with the tribulation continuing on and having to hide either in plane (pun!) sight or in a subdivision of Chicago! We also find one of the most shocking differences between the old versions and newly revised versions of the book. Not just changing vhs to dvds but something far weirder and funnier. New book-club-style episodes will be released every other week, with periodic deep-dives into fun topics like Dispensationalism, the rise of the Religious Right, and unhinged Evangelical TikToks.
