Fighting 21st Century Homeopathy with Nick Little

In this longer than usual episode I talk with Nick Little, Vice President and General Counsel of the Center for Inquiry, about his group’s effort to force big retailers to be honest about homeopathy products they sell. We discuss the group’s current work to allow secular celebrants to solemnize marriages in all the states. Finally we look at the current status of church and state litigation in the time of Trump. It isn’t good.
