Shownotes Transcript

Guess what, Pkarlgh?  Did you guess the Podcast Ninja (Luke McKinney) is on the mic with us today?!  

The Pod Ninja doesn't listen to The Comedian Next Door episodes. So, sometimes we need him to sit at the table while we talk, just so he knows what we've been talking about...

There's CONTROVERSY! (But when isn't that the case?) It's a good thing we are part of the Fight Laugh Feast Network, where upsetting people on the internet doesn't neessarily mean the end of our career. We've upset the nurses and the LGBT mob (multiple times), and now we've got the teachers worked up.

John maintains the belief that children should not have access to every, single book ever written. 

Some people tried to make the case that Song of Solomon is just as smutty as the raunchy romance novels being discovered in children's libraries--and that's HILARIOUS.

Later: Even good intentions can lead to disastrous outcomes when teachers try to "save" kids from their own parents.   

Finally:  That Hideous Strength and the Abolition of Man really are worth the hype.  C.S. Lewis was ridiculously insightful.  And--humans are like stringed instruments, needing to be tuned.
