We've been over at http://www.patreon.com/dontfeedthetrolls all summer long, posting our Troll Talk conversations during the break. This is one of those. Troll Talk 16 is a rambling, unedited conversation about Harry Potter and ancient archetypes of story that humans are naturally attracted to, ancient Greco-Roman art & philosophy that impacts all of western thought, and Nate breaks down his recent appearance on the BadChristian Podcast where they discussed conspiracy theories, skepticism, and whether or not disdain for conspiracies is hypocritical of religious people.
