Ruth McLeod, the Southern Atheist and Chris Shelton, Critical Thinker at Large, riff on news and hot-topic issues using common sense, skepticism and a healthy dose of critical thinking.

This week we riff on news about North Korea, Kim Davis (our least favorite topic ever) and talk about why smart people believe in nonsensical things.
