20220817 Nicole Sandler Show – From Wyoming Primary Day to Crazy Religious Zealotry

Yesterday, primary elections were held in Wyoming and Alaska, and the results are pretty much what we expected. But there were some unusual voting patterns in parts of Wyoming, so this morning I called the one person I know there. My old friend Mark “Fish” Fishman is Program Director and hosts mornings on KMTN 96.9FM in Jackson. I’ll play back part of our conversation and, if time permits, my later conversation with his boss and newsman Scott Anderson. Then we’ll turn our attention to the crazy religious zealotry I mentioned in the title of the episode. Frederick Clarkson was on with me just over a month ago, after he wrote a piece in Salon about Pennsylvania’s Republican gubernatorial nominee Doug Mastriano, who’s as out there as they come. Well, now Fred has published an article at ReligionDispatches.org about a rift within the New Apostolic Refomation. We’ll check in with Fred again because this is a movement we must not only keep an eye on, but have to counter.
