The Jerry Springer Podcast

The Jerry Springer Podcast: Tales, Tunes and Tomfoolery is a weekly mix of comedy, liberal political talk and roots music performed by up and coming song writers and groups. Jerry is joined by Jene Galvin and Megan Hils as they compare their dissimilar lives, convo about events of the day and occasionally welcome a phone guest, some real and others you wonder. Like State Senator Tip Kemper, who recently proposed a literacy bill requiring citizens to read a book a month and submit a written report to the government at the post office. But in the middle of each episode, Jerry shows his serious side with a unique take on a current political or social issue drawing from his years as Cincinnati’s mayor and top ranked news anchor. Performed before a small audience at the Folk School Coffee Parlor in Ludlow, Kentucky, The Jerry Springer Podcast is live streamed at jerrryspringer.com and Facebook Live and archived on the podcast’s website and all major podcast apps.

Christianity and Politics: Episode 48 Mar 30, 2016

Show notes

The podcast starts with an update on Megan's dating status. Is she willing to stay single for the "Who Wants to Date Megan" contest? The guys make sure she didn't get married on any of her recent vacations. Jene asks Jerry to talk about leading the Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans this year. Jene explains he was left alone on the same night in Florida to try to entertain guests at their friend’s birthday party while Jerry, whom the guests really wanted to hear from, was in New Orleans being a celebrity. We hear a new Sarah Palin Minute. Then Jerry notices how politicians readily talk about their faith now, and how that used to be considered a mistake. John Kennedy's Catholicism, for example, was considered a liability. Jerry describes how this seems at odds with candidate's political views and how voting for things that are non-Christian is hypocritical.
