Guest: Ahmedur Rashid Chowdhury. Politicking pastors and praying school districts are among the news we discuss this week. We hear a historic rendition of an irreverent 1922 song by the great American songwriter Irving Berlin called “Pack Up Your Sins and Go to the Devil in Hades.” Then we speak with the brave freethinking Bangladeshi author and publisher of Shuddhashar (Free Voice) Ahmedur Rashid Chowdhury (known as “Tutul”), who was attacked with machetes and guns by religious extremists and is now living in exile.
