For our first show produced remotely, we cover abuses of state/church separation during the pandemic. After celebrating the birthday of irreverent lyricist (“Over the Rainbow”) Yip Harburg by hearing “The Begats” and “Ain’t It The Truth?”, we talk with freethinking actress, playwright and former SNL comic Julia Sweeney, who is “sheltering at home” in Hollywood, about her co-starring roles in “Shrill” (Hulu), “Work in Progress” (Showtime), and the upcoming season of “American Gods” (Starz, Fall 2020).
