In this week’s episode we tackle the controversy over NFL personnel protesting the National Anthem. What’s it all mean and what is an appropriate response? We also consider why the billion dollar American Christian fiction industry doesn’t export so much to other nations. Plus, a fun cameo from a very special guest making his first appearance by phone on the StoryMen.
