Hi Everyone, As promised here is episode 4 part two: "The Week in Doubt: Shroud of Turin Spectacular!" Given the somewhat irreverent title of this week's episode, you may be surprised by my fondness for the shroud. I discuss not only the history and scientific testing of the Turin Shroud, but also my own experiences growing up as a Catholic child allured by the relic's enduring mystique. As always thanks for listening...

This episode was meant to be a special on the Shroud of Turin, but instead it become a discussion of Fox New's coverage of an Atheist Event...Stay tuned; Part Two will be devoted to an Analysis of the Turin Shroud.
