315: Pell in a Cell Edition

In this week’s episode, Cardinal Pell will start rethinking that ‘clearing his name’ strategy, professional skeptic Susan Gerbic teaches us how to catch a mentalist predator, and the Pope will name a long series of children they didn’t rape. Extra special thanks to Don Ford (voice of fantasy and adventure) for helping out with Bible Piece Theater this week. And apologies for not thanking or crediting him during the episode! Sorry Don!!!
