“You can’t build things with pitchforks and torches” (With Friends Like These episode)

“You can’t build things with pitchforks and torches” is the fifteenth episode of With Friends Like These, hosted by Ana Marie Cox.

Description
Segment 1: Bob Inglis (of RepublicEN.org) is a conservative climate change denier turned conservative climate change activist. We talk about what he’s learned about how to approach those who disagree with him — there are some concrete tips! Lots of Greek and Roman references! Segment 2: We dive into the power and powerlessness of prayer with Washington Post writer and editor Elizabeth Stoker Bruenig. (TRIGGER WARNING: CONTAINS JESUS.)
