Welcome to ORly Radio Show 79 for Friday October 2nd, 2015 - where we dismantle the current events for your edutainment through mostly rational conversations that make you go ‘Oh Really’! I’m your host Andy Cowen with my usual suspect Michael and Ophelia Falls.

Errata From Last Week: We make mistakes. Please, if you find one, pause the podcast, and send us a note. orlyradiopodcast@gmail.com or phone it in 470-222-6759  

Due to some crazy echo issues last week, many of the listeners had slightly less patience than we did and stopped listening before we switched to an alternate microphone.  It doesn’t sound as good but it doesn’t have that horrible echo. Persevere until 7m30s and you will have an alright time. Sorry about that.

Also, there seems to be something wrong with the Patreon page, that lovely site that helps independent media creators like us take donations to fund these little endeavors. I will be working on getting that repaired. If you are desperate to help out the show, word of mouth and positive reviews on iTunes, Spreaker, Stitcher and Likes on YouTube are the best way.

The Good:

  1. Rick Perry drops out, but with a warning for the GOP RNC. "First, the answer to a president nominated for soaring rhetoric and no record is not to nominate a candidate whose rhetoric speaks louder than his record," Perry's prepared remarks said, warning conservatives against "falling for the cult of personality."Perry continued, "My second warning is this: we cannot indulge nativist appeals that divide the nation further. The answer to our current divider-in-chief is not to elect a Republican divider-in-chief." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/rick-perry-drops-out-of-2016-presidential-race/

The Good:

  1. IRAN Nuclear Deal http://www.vox.com/2015/4/2/8336219/iran-nuclear-deal-plain-english

  2. Obama effectively neutered the Hobby Lobby ruling and ensured that all women, even those employed by ‘religious corporations,’ will have access to birth control covered at no cost to them; even if their evangelical employers object and refuse to provide it. “Under the new rule, a closely held for-profit company that objects to covering contraception in its health plan can write a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services stating its objection. HHS will then notify a third-party insurer of the company's objection, and the insurer will provide birth control coverage to the company's female employees at no additional cost to the company.”

The letter, from assistant administrator Ladreda Spencer and Pastor B.R. Fulton Jr., also reminded Petterson that children – including her 11-year-old daughter – were expected to pay $5 a month to the church in addition to two annual $15 fees. http://www.rawstory.com/2015/07/florida-church-sends-1000-collection-notice-to-single-mother-because-she-didnt-tithe/
