Summary

After honoring "Champions of the First Amendment" Roy Torcaso (1961, Torcaso vs. Watkins) and Ed and Ellery Schempp (1963 Abington vs. Schempp), we talk about atheist rock climber Alex Honnold, who this month made history by ascending Yosemite's El Capitan free-style with no rope. We hear Roy Zimmerman's hilarious song "Creation Science 101," and then talk about the 1925 Scopes Trial with historian Andrew Kersten, author of the book Clarence Darrow: American Iconoclast.
