Amen Corner Season 10, Episode 12

Brad and Steven are back at it this week, and what a week it’s been. Between the horrific shootings at Brown University, the despicable terrorist attack in Sydney, and the senseless murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, there has been a lot to process in a short amount of time. The guys talk about these events as well as the (partial) release of the (redacted) Epstein Files, and Representative Elise Stefanik’s decision to drop out of the race for governor of New York and not to run for congress again. It’s also Chanukah and Christmas is in a few days, so happy holidays to all, no matter what you celebrate or even if you don’t celebrate at all.

You can listen to The Amen Corner in lots of ways. On iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play, or your favorite RSS aggregator.
