This episode takes a look at the history of the Free Thought movement in the U-S, from its roots in the time of independence
to its resurgence during the post-Civil War years. The struggle between freethinkers and conservative religious forces played out
on several fronts, including efforts to restrict what publications could be sent through the U-S mail. Among the historical figures
examined in the program are the Free Thought publisher D.M. Bennett and the 'anti-vice crusader' and postal inspector Anthony Comstock,
who lobbied for laws banning the mailing of 'obscene' materials. Bennett was sentenced to prison for mailing a pamphlet called "Cupid's Yokes."
The guests are Roderick Bradford, author and filmmaker, and Tom Flynn, editor of Free Inquiry magazine.
The program includes excerpts from the documentary film, "American Freethought," produced by Bradford and Flynn.

The show looks at Affordable Housing and Coalitions for Building Safe and Healthy Communities in the San Francisco Bay area. We address how reactionary forces including the Tea Party and Nimby groups seek to block equitable housing and livable communities . Our guests include Wendi Kallins with the Coalition for a Livable Marin, Samuel Tepperman-Gelfant a Senior Staff Attorney with Public Advocates which supports equitable development and affordable housing, and Chris McManus community housing advocate and researcher in Fairfax California. Famously liberal Marin County, California should welcome affordable housing and non-polluting transportation, but does it? Three housing activists say Tea Party members from outside the county have intervened loudly to obstruct planning processes, and have also recruited allies among local opponents of growth.
