Summary

Frank is joined by guest host Rachel to unpack a week’s worth of religious overreach, political absurdity, and moral panic dressed up as righteousness. From Oklahoma’s conspiracy-laced curriculum changes to France’s proposed hijab ban for girls under 15, this episode explores how authority figures use “values” to mask control. Plus: the Pope’s childhood home might be seized, Rushdie’s attacker is sentenced, and new data reveals why more people are leaving belief behind.
