The Non-Prophets 20.51 12-19-2021 Johnny P. Angel, Jason Sherwood, Cynthia McDonald, and Nate Smith
Atheist Christmas Greetings from this week’s host Johnny, Cynthia, Nate, and Jason as they open the show with a history lesson on the cultural and commercial phenomenon of the winter celebrations. The hosts discuss the holiday blues in the time of COVID, which for some can be the loneliest time of the year. In the final segment, the Little Drummer Boy beats his drum to the tune of Christian Conservatives being frantic about the so-called War on Christmas. It’s the most unholy time of the year!
