Today on Radio Free Kansas! Jeff Sharlet tells us about "The Family"

Will Kansas Senator "Sammy" Brownback please call in?


Radio Free Kansas starts at High Noon today with FSRN world news headlines, local news and music then goes into warp speed overdrive, around 12:30pm (central time) with Jeff Sharlet!

Are you asking, "Who in the Hell is Jeff Sharlet?"

Well, here's an excerpt from his biographical sketch: "Jeff Sharlet, author of The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power (Harper, 2008) and a contributing editor for Harper’s and Rolling Stone, has been writing about the intersection of religion, politics, and culture for more than a decade. He has reported from inside the most secretive sanctums of American fundamentalist power and from every corner of the megachurch nation. His writing on religion has earned him praise from writers such as Barbara Ehrenreich, who calls The Family “one of the most compelling and brilliantly researched exposés you’ll ever read,” and condemnation from Ann Coulter, who declares Sharlet one of the stupidest journalists in America. .."

Sounds like our kind a guy! Listen in live today at Radio Free Kansas!
