Summary

We have a fun "April Fool's" show this week. After discussing the partial (but strong) victory in our Indiana school nativity lawsuit with FFRF attorney Sam Grover, we hear Irish comic Dave Allen rip into the Catholic Church. Then we talk with New Orleans "dark humor" novelist Patty Friedmann about her new book, Organized Panic, which comically explores the challenges of living in a "mashed up" family of believers and nonbelievers.

1:33.9	seems to be angry is our always pleasant engineer, Buzz Kemper. See, he's in there smiling and
