Summary

Evangelist Pat Robertson claims President Trump is being attacked by witches (!). Former president George W Bush acknowledges nonbelievers.

After celebrating International Women's Day by hearing the song "Bread and Roses," we talk by phone from Croatia with Lloyd Evans, whose new book is The Reluctant Apostate: Leaving Jehovah's Witnesses Comes at a Price.
