That said, we’re not entirely free from these problems.

Father Bob and John SafranI’ve been catching up on some podcasts recently, and caught an interview of Frank Gomez, the leader of the newly formed Freedom from Religion Party on John Safran’s weekly radio show “Sunday Night Safran“. For those of you who aren’t aware of the show (I’m aware there’s only a few Aussies who actually read this blog), on his show, Safran interviews many people alongside Father Bob Maguire. I’ve found a clip of the relevant part of the show (the full show is available here) – it’s a 16 minute interview, but it’s quite interesting.

Either way, looks like I might be voting for a new party come the next election…
